The Houthis are not new at this. They have been the target of literally thousands of airstrikes by Saudi Arabia, but have continued to operate. The US is not new at this either. It has decades of experience loosing to much less technically capable forces fighting on their home turf. If history is anything to go by, this is simply not a fight the US military (or any modern military for that matter) is capable of winning. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JustZ@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago They've apparently been gaining ground since the coup but I don't think that's the case as of the past couple of weeks.
