Who are Yemen's Houthis, and what threat do they pose to us here in the West? Intelligence analyst Ryan McBeth brings us in from Out of the Loop.
Welcome to what we're calling our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them.
On This Episode of Out of the Loop, We Discuss:
- Though the group from which they originate has been around for thousands of years, why are the Houthis in Yemen suddenly making headlines and drawing attention from the West?
-
How Iran benefits from (allegedly) arming the Houthis to fight a proxy war against Saudi Arabia's influence in the region.
-
Why Yemen is a crucial link in the global supply chain — and how it enriches whoever is able to control it.
- Why the well-funded Saudi military has a difficult time keeping the Houthis in check.
-
Possible global consequences of the recent Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
- And much more!
