Great analysis. The shifting balance of power in the Arabian Peninsula is tilting toward Yemen, and that is something many observers fail to see. The Saudis themselves may not fully comprehend it because they are being deceived by the ongoing instability, wars, and poverty but this will become clearer as time moves on.

Any successful strategy is catered to achieving the desired objectives in the simplest manner possible.

Building up muscle, fire power and extensive hype is but a ploy to keep the business flowing.

Really interesting perspective. Though the UAE deserves more credit for taking a pragmatic approach to regional security and stability. They focus on building, supporting and developing , a safer and more stable region is something that often gets overlooked due to articles like this.

This is why I think the UAE’s approach deserves more credit. Working with regional partners and focusing on stability is a lot more effective than everyone pulling in different directions. The Houthis have benefited from division, so the answer has to be stronger Gulf cooperation and countries like the UAE helping bring people together.

The UAE’s role deserves a more balanced view. Abu Dhabi has consistently recognized the importance of regional security and stability, and its contributions should not be reduced to a simple narrative of division. Yemen is complex, and the UAE has often acted from genuine security concerns. There is certainly room for criticism, but there should also be room to acknowledge the UAE’s efforts and strategic importance.

First of all, thank you for your response. 😊 Second, thank you for subscribing. Third, you have an interesting point, however, the reality is that the MBZ's intention was to trap MBS in an unwinnable situation.

While all along, strengthening his own position by occupying the "pearl of Yemen" with the israelis

Does the whole thing seem fishy to you? WHAT IF....the US is playing BOTH SIDES? Jared Kushner has been "Playing" buddies with MBS since the ritz carlton coup. What if the US guides Saudis to do something v Houthis which only gets them stuck deeper, but then provides Houthis with damaging counter-strike intel? Is there something to this? The question to ask is : WHO BENEFITS FROM A "STUCK" MBS? Has all this MBS ascension been a means to a rolling series of coups in Saudi that serve western interests?

I'm just thinking.....?
