The coalition has been unable to defeat the Houthis militarily over several years of fighting, and with the UAE’s drawdown, the option of an outright military victory is effectively off the table.
Saudi Arabia’s leaders must therefore concede that the Houthis will form some part of Yemen’s central government. So far, this is a reality that Riyadh has refused to acknowledge, in part because the war in Yemen is seen as a signature policy of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and withdrawal could be seen as a loss of face for him personally at a time when he is shoring up domestic political support.
As the Emirati academic Abdulkhaleq Abdulla recently put it rather bluntly, “Do you really want to have all your eggs in Trump’s basket?”

>Yemen's Houthi rebels have shown off their 'new' Fater-1 Air Defence Missile which was used to shoot down a USAF MQ-9 last week. It's a repainted and tweaked 3M9 Missile from the Soviet SA-6 Air Defence system
Nuclear submarines Tula and Yuri Dolgoruky launched ballistic missiles Sineva and Bulava from the polar region of the Arctic Ocean and the Barents Sea youtube.com/watch?v=KYBjgDCJZlQ
That claim is so fucking bold. What legitimate right when they are illegally occupying territory of another country? Turkshits...

Yemeni Houthis showed their own Earth-to-Air Fater-1 missile.
At the beginning, the recent destruction of the US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper UAV, then another Reaper in the province of Hodeida, and at the end of the attack on the UAE Air Force F-16 in 2018. Both damaged aircraft returned to base.

"We had these conversations with Mr. Macron today, it was a good conversation and also productive. However, it depends on the commitments that European Union has done within the framework the JCPOA and after the US withdrawal from the JCPOA," Zarif said.

The Kurds are giving their territory to Turkey in hope this will appease Erdogan and they can keep the rest. Have they learned nothing? How much of a coward and idiot do you have to be? I used to have sympathy towards the rojava project but now I see that Kurds deserve nothing but contempt.
>Giving Do you really thought the kurds had any sovereignty? The US tells them to jump and they ask how high. Ultimately, without the US presence, Turkey invaded the north long before.
That's the thing, unless this becomes a Deir ez-Zor situation all over again, there isn't a way for Turkey to resupply without actual confrontation and/or the fact that the post already contains supplies that can last for some time.

>small gains in idlib and not much else
Ah, i was worried it was going to be eternaly stagnant, like the Donbass is and in essence, a frozen conflict. Have the SSNP militia's seen action in these recent gains in Idlib?
>Stalemate between houthis and saudi but STC is making gains against hadi
Too bad about the Houthi's but STC vs Hadi? That is cool, that sure is bound to fracture the Saudi Coalition.
A bit dissapointed about the rest to be honest, i expected some more from those places.
>Have the SSNP militia's seen action in these recent gains in Idlib? honestly don't know, there was a p big kotel and maybe 300km of land was won by the SAA though
