Fair point, although Houthis punching way above their weight...

In a way you could say the same about Israël. I mean look at the map, look at natural resources (oil ?) , and look at regimes that hate them.

True but it is easily explained: US

And the houthis are sponsored by...?

Not the US. Iran probably.

I guess its more or less a proxy war. We only see the corpses on a screen and dont have to bury them ourselves. Im somehow pretty sure it wont be like that forever.
