How did the Houthis become so powerful?https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iranian-arms-advice-helped-yemens-houthis-seize-key-red-sea-city-sources-say-2026-09-10/https://apnews.com/article/mideast-news-gaza-israel-yemen-iran-lebanon-4de45665de2221865501a4c512daa86d
In most of these countries the prime factor in success is money and training. The Houthis had both and usually enough to outdo the competition.
It's more over than previously believed.
>>542407785Who cares a new gay Muslim group takes over a country in the Middle East like 5 times a decade.
>>542407786Hasn't Iran been their primary benefactor? Is Iran's ability to support them that great?>>542407787This one is still unconfirmed, but has potential to be pretty bad.

>>542407785>[NEWS LINK/S]>[INANE QUESTION]>>>/pol/ is that way
>>542407785khat, sandals, and allah's aim
>>542407790They are humilaiting a much better funded and equipped army. And this isn't occupation/guerilla outlasting stuff, they're winning conventional engagements. How they're accomplishing this is a question for /k/.
>>542407792>>this is a question for /k/so you're admitting to being here for the explicit purpose of constantly spamming these offtopic inane questions? Go read a book/pdf or ask your retarded brown cohorts at /pol/
>>542407785They have real unity, I think. Arab states require ideological leadership to be semi-decent and they have that in their prophet-king leader, Abdul al-Houthi, who is basically ruling them as a revolutionary aristocrat.
>>542407792The Saudis are just that retarded.
>>542407794Okay so knock him off and watch as the whole thing splinters between various warlords who all have different interpretations of what the fuck ol' Abdul wanted. Iran would have to expend more effort to tard-wrangle them.
>>542407796Well, this one's seems to have a proper succession system. current guy succeeded his brother, who had previously succeeded their father. Besides, just let them have their own kingdom with their weird little sect.
>>542407789>Hasn't Iran been their primary benefactor? Is Iran's ability to support them that great?They also hold the major ports, cities and the major economy is mostly in their hands. The areas they control are about 70% to 80% of the population.
>>542407794>writers make up Houthi faction in season 3 to provide some background news story>need to fill in more fluff by season 6 as it became an actual plot>oh yeah, let's say they're led by.. errrr... Al-Houthi... Yes, Abdul Al-Houthi
>>542407785Y'know it's weird how every time I see a picture of them they look like literal retards, like just dudes in t-shirts with weapons and maybe a plate carrier and a hat for equipment at most, with shitty RPG-7s and AKs. But when you look at the facts they're by far the most based and successful of the Iran proxies. First they kicked the shit out of the Saudis who had F-15s and Abrahams, then they bankrupted the Israeli Port of Eilat in a few months by blockading them. The Israelis tried and failed to do anything about it. Then the US went in, achieved absolutely fuckall, and then said "ok you can bomb Israel as long as you don't hit OUR ships" and then basically left them alone. Basically they're the real world GLA
>>542407800They are objectively inbred tribals, but they have Iranian trad wranglers who can make effective use of them rather than having them behave like typical jihadis, little things like not charging blindly into battle and maintaining their positions.
>>542407795It's this

>>542407793>constantly spammingThis is the first thread I've made in a long time.
>>542407800who is their jarmen kell?
Anon, during the Gulf War, when Iraq invaded Saudi Arabian territory in Operation Desert Shield, the reaction of the Saudi Arabian army- which had way more superior first world weapons than iraq- was to abandon their posts & vehicles and run the fuck away.That is what the Houthis are up against.
>>542407785Step 1 is to have a plan. Most military leaders skip over that part.
>>542407785>How did the Houthis become so powerful?>https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iranian-arms-advice-helped-yemens-houthisIranian arms and advice helped Yemen's HouthisEspecially the ballistic missiles and antiship missilesThe first non-state actor terrorist group to be given ballistic missiles, if I'm not mistakenWhat used to be Larry Bond-tier fiction plot came true, and it was Iran that did it

>>542407810Is that why the board is such a barely usable shithole now?

Motehrfuckers just pulled an amphibious operation taking over a bunch of islands in the Red Sea.
>>542407816And they didn’t need a dedicated branch like the marines to do that
>>542407785houthis are probably the most effective and competent paramilitary militia in the world right now, far surpassing even the Taliban in hardiness and decentralization, but also having enough tech and know-how to operate stuff like ballistic missiles, drones, and a decentralized but effective AD system that tracked even the F-35 last year and brought down dozens of aircraft over the past 10 years.

>>542407814mods delete a lot of posts but sadly for every post they delete there's another five that take their placethis is a fine thread, by the way>>542407785they are going against saudi "slurper" "the jobbest of all arabs" arabia. i suspect that if they actually manage to get near winning in yemen than the saudis are going to have to actually activate their alliance agreements and fucking invade the place againlord knows how that is going to go, but still, it's a tough situation
>>542407820The only people who use>jooooozor some variation thereof are either nogunz neoliberal redditesque europeans who Believe the Science, or actual kikes. On /k/ it tends to be nogunz neoliberal redditors.>you have to backyep it's a nogunz european. Did you show up in 2022 or 2023?
>>542407799Real name's Ansarallah but everyone mockingly calls them the Houthis
>>542407788the problem is that this one's leader claims direct ancestral lineage to mohammed and they all eat it up, to them he's basically God in the flesh which gives them boldness because they feel divinely protected and will continue to act like they could not fail, which often works pretty well for them
>>542407939Christ they ALWAYS fall for that "Well I'm the descendent of Muhummad" line.
>>542407785It's muslims they're all a joke militarily lol.
>>542408087well, if the most important figure in your religion was just some random guy with a big ego then it could very well be true that the next one is also just some random guy with a big ego
>>542407785>How did the Houthis become so powerful?Wrong question. How did the US/Israel become so weak.
When jews control zerg (goyim) through a psi emitter, goyim get buffed.It is also going to happen in Ukraine.Basically there will be a Jewish empire stretching from the white sea to the black sea to the red sea to the yellow sea.
People think of gays as weak and cuddly. But nothing can be further from the truth.At the tip of the spear, they are vicious and cruel, like the uhg troons or the saudi king who chopped up Khashoggi with a chain saw.So yeah if the saudi king/MBS doesn't surrender, his head is going to be placed on a pike. Nothing cruel, but he will be deposed.
Iran and their allies had them all on /k/opium
>>542407785Doubtful that they did, the arabs have been struggling for very long.Yet when Trump came along and knocked them on the noggin they came around real quick and limited their bothersome activities to just their enemies (Israel at the time).It's less impressive houthi power and more impressive weakness in their foes.
>>542407785They’re fighting for something they believe in. Saudi Mercs have no spine and the US is all washed up.
>>542407785its gonna be fun watching cia backed houthis stomping mbs head lol
>>542407785It’s not necessarily the Houthis per se becoming powerful. Honestly they’re not that much more powerful than similar groups have always been at a local level. The difference nowadays is that groups like this can punch above their weight since high payload, long range, precision strike guided weapons have become cheap, concealable and easily dispersible. This allows them to not only strike at the logistics backbone of critical global trade, it also allows them to launch devastating strikes against any wealthy, heavily armed invasion force that might try to invade their territory with tank columns and large armies.
>>542407785Cuz of AI. They're literally vibecoding missiles with Claude.
