Unable to Defeat Houthis, US Sending Reinforcement! | Geopolitical Trends

All right, hello everybody and welcome back to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. My apologies for the earlier hiccup regarding the sound. So let's, let's, let's do this now, guys. I want to make sure you guys can hear me before I move forward. As a matter of fact, I called Elizabeth and she said, yes, I was able to hear you at the beginning. So I don't know what happened. I really have no idea because everything was set from the same way it was before. So, so please guys, give me thumbs up if you can hear me. So I mean, this technical stuff happens. So, all right, Quest for the Best, you can hear me. Mike Bots One, you can hear me. Uh, uh, Ankabot, you can hear. Matt Backey, you can hear me. All right, perfect. Now sound of Francis Tango. Timeline Dunkley, so it's working. Great, great, great. I, I just got concerned. All right, let's see if this time will work. Hopefully it works this time. Uh, yes. Okay, now I think, I think if when my phone, for some other reason, I, I'm gonna figure this out later on, but I'm not gonna touch anything. Let's just move on with this because it's, it's frustrating. But anyway, okay, Francis Tango, South is on. Modi did that. Yeah, anyway guys, you can hear me now? Perfect. Kate, thank you very much. Keith, thank you very much. Uh, okay, now it's working, so I'm assuming you guys can hear me. Don't touch that phone again, Doug. I won't. Here you know, perfect. Anyway, let's, let's move on into all this. But as I mentioned earlier guys, there is a lot of moving parts into this, uh, uh, uh, developments that's going on right now with the US sort of, you know, pushing even further, thinking that they could intimidate the Houthis. But ain't gonna work. It's not gonna work. And there's reasons for that, and I'm gonna be sharing with you, uh, all those reasons why. But first, we're gonna have to ask these questions as to why, you know, why all of a sudden we are seeing what we are seeing. And the, the main question, first of all, we have to ask is Do the Houthis have the hypersonic missile in their possession? What do you guys think? Before I'll make my own answers and all that. So in your opinion, because the Houthis have been stating that we have the hypersonic, do you think they do? Now second question we need to ask is, is Trump, Donald Trump, trapped now in Yemen? And with that, comes what happened in history before, like Vietnam. So could Yemen become another Vietnam for the US, or second Vietnam, that is? And third question is, is it a foregone conclusion that US ground troops will be going in into Yemen? Is the same scenario that we saw in Vietnam. That was the same argument. Oh, we're gonna just send some troops and we're gonna defeat the Vietnamese. It turns out to be we were, we were stuck, we were trapped into that. And the Vietnamese end up winning. We didn't win this. So those are the same questions we ought to ask regarding this particular development. But as I mentioned to you, I have two headlines I need to share with you because you need to know what's going on with, uh, the other aspect pertaining to this. And this one has to do with an upcoming visit by the Where is that? Uh, let me get the picture for you. Yeah, right here. Next week, next week, there are now, uh, two sources inside Israel and one source inside the US confirmed that, uh, uh, they will be— the US and Israel will be holding strategic talks. The strategic talks, you know what the US is saying? Oh, this is going to be about Iran's nuclear deal. I don't think so. I don't think so. What it's gonna be about is coordinating whether they want to move forward into attacking both, uh, the continuation of targeting the Houthis and possibly launching, uh, some strike on Iran. That's what that strategic conversation is gonna be about. Not— yeah, the nuclear part will be part of it, but who knows? The key, what they're saying, is gonna be about the nuclear deal, but I don't think so. It's going to be about now both countries, the United States and Israel, are now being trapped regarding dealing with the Houthis. The second one has to do with the secret contracts within the US F-35 programs. Why is this important for you to understand? It's because what just happens is that now there is, there is a clause in a secret contract that will prevent the countries who purchase the, the, the F-35 from oper— from operating the aircraft. This was reported by Britain, that now they reported that several Western countries including Germany and Canada are currently reconsidering their request to purchase the American F-35. Why? Because this now is due to the concerns in these countries and some others that the United States control over its operation and the limits and restrictions on its use. This is what's a very, very interesting dynamic. So, so why buy the plane to begin with? And by the way, The Israelis wanted the F-35, the same one we had. And of course we said no. It's the concern was if the, if the plane will end up being targeted and fall in the wrong hands, they're gonna reverse engineer it. So, so what we end up doing is we did some, uh, some sort of minor avionic modifications to the plane. But even with that, the Israelis weren't happy about it. Stuff. So that's exactly why I wanted to share this with you. So, all right, let's get into our topic here regarding the— despite the US military might, it's unable to defeat the Houthis, you know. And this is why the United States has decided— Trump decided, I'm gonna be sending reinforcements. What do you mean by reinforcements? Uh, are you gonna be doing what happened before in 2004 by using the B-2 bomber. So what? We used the B-2 bomber in 2024, and yet the blockade, uh, uh, was still on the Red Sea. We didn't— we, we didn't do anything. We couldn't lift the blockade. So this is why the Europeans left and let the US hold the end of the stick by itself. Of course, the Brits were there and the Israelis as well. So now this reinforcements, it's gonna be like, okay, what form is gonna take? They didn't say anything because— why is— because now Donald Trump just realized what a big mistake he made by getting into all this. So, so what I'm gonna do for you guys, I'm gonna share one clip for you, with you rather, uh, for what just, uh taking place, uh, soon for the airstrikes that, that just happened recently. So, so let's, let me just share this with you quickly here. Uh, okay, what is that one? I'm not playing the sound yet because it's on, uh, wait till, till, uh Okay, it's the, the advertisement. So anyway, but anyway, let's see, uh, So anyway, despite all this, and yet the Houthis didn't back down. And that's when you start to realize maybe they miscalculated. So, so, and like I said earlier, guys, I'm going to do two things in this, uh, uh, live stream here that I didn't do before. Of course I'm doing the update, but I'm gonna do a little bit of history of the region because you have to understand the evolve— the developments of the whole region to put this in perspective. So, so we're gonna start first of all with the so-called Middle East, okay? Of course it was West Asia, but the term has been used, uh, regarding, uh, the, the Middle East. And, and that is the term that's been used frequently, but it is known also as West Asia. That's what it is. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do a little bit of history regarding this aspect here, so to put it in perspective for you. So, and I have some pictures, I looked into the, uh, the archives, and I have a link where I'm gonna be sharing this with you from the Diwan Institute. That's where all the information pertains to this one here. So now when you think about the Middle East, and I wrote extensively on it, and I will share an excerpt with you from my book regarding this later on. So when you think about the Middle East, the Middle East is a very, very complex region, you know, uh, complex in terms of its social dynamics, economics, but it's also rich in natural resources. So you start to ask an average person is what is the Middle East, you know, or West Asia? Well, this is now the region that comprise— comprise rather, let me put the map back up here for you— that comprise— comprising rather the lands to the south and east of the Mediterranean Sea, known also as the Levant. If you ever heard the Levant, that's what they're referring to. Of course, that includes also the Arabian Peninsula and parts of North Africa. This is why today the broadest definition of MENA— it's known as MENA, which by the way, MENA is referred to Middle East, North Africa. There are those who agree that why you consider North Africa as part of Middle East, others saying no, the likes from Egypt all the way to Morocco, those are in African continent. I'll let you decide on that one. For me, I just shared the history with you for now, then we just go from there. So when you think about the region, the MENA region, that is, that it includes the territories of Lebanon, you have Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Turkey, even Cyprus is part of that, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, Iran, and Afghanistan. And here is the wildest things. Some historians, or geographers rather, they even consider— and please, uh, share your thoughts about this, whether you agree or disagree— they consider Greece and Pakistan to be part of West Asia or the Middle East. What do you guys think? Do you agree or disagree? So let me just see in the chat box whether you agree with that or not. Oh, Alex Talokin, my PC is bugged. I just got this laptop, so, so I'm, I'm gonna take care of it later on. I'll, I'll ask Elizabeth to help me out with all this. Oh man, no hear, no more sound. Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna stop. Okay, all right, is back here now. No sound. Okay, I'm seeing you guys, uh, some of you type in no sound. Can you hear me right now? Just give me a thumbs up. Okay, Keith, Melon, so we good to go, right? Did you guys hear what I shared before, right? Okay, all right, let's continue here. So, so like I mentioned earlier regarding to those who agree some geographers saying that Greece and Pakistan are considered in the Middle East. And some of you said yes, others said no, it is not the case. So we're just gonna go with what, what, what they are, uh, sort of actually disclosing. So, but here is the important thing about the history of the region. Before I, I'm gonna do this, then jump into the my own analysis regarding this. And I got some pictures of you from the D1 Institute here. We are very interested, and I give them credit for this picture. So, so here's— we start with the era of the early Mesopotamian history, which goes back to about 4000 BCE to 323. And basically what it is, what happened during that time— the region of the world, this region of the world is often called the cradle of civilization, which is true. If you only understand, for example, what happened in modern-day Iraq, which we will get into that. So, and this is where you have, like, for example, the development of writing, agriculture, and even certain types of ancient technology that was used. So you have, like, the presence of bronze metal, that is a metal that was developed at that time. And of course, the first ever alphabet was created in the Levant. That is what you need to understand about the early Mesopotamian history. So of course, during this time, numerous empires rose and fell, such as the first Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations, the Akkadian Empire, and the Babylonian Empire. Of course, the Neo-Assyrian Empire, also the Phoenicians, the Achaemenids. So they are— that which is the Persian, that is. That's why it's very important to understand this particular phase of the history. Uh, move forward to 323 BCE to 632 CE, Common Era, that is. What do you have is the Roman empire at that time. So basically what you have, what you have at that time is the, uh, it's this one right here. What you have is the Greek and the Roman Empires. So this is where in 334 BCE Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia, invaded and captured the Persian Empire in its entirety. So, and by the time he died in 323 BCE, his empire stretched all the way from Greece to northeastern— northwestern, I'm sorry, northwestern part of India. This is what's important about this particular part. Now comes the early Roman Empire between 31 BCE and 285 CE, Common Era, that is. I think I have a map of this one, uh, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, right there. So now, in 31 BCE, Augustus overthrew the Hellenic powers, and that's what initiated the beginning of the Roman Empire. This is what I need you guys to understand, because during this early period The Romans established themselves as one of the preeminent civilizations and empires in the Middle East, or West Asia, that is. And this is where they created the 200-year-long Pax, uh, Romana. So, and of course, from 235 CE, the Roman Empire faced numerous attacks threatening its prosperity and continued to face such threat till 300 CE. And this is where, when you consider what happened in, in 285 CE, that was the era when the Western Roman Empire will administer the western half, western half of the Eastern Roman Empire, because it was divided into two. And as I said, I'm gonna provide you the link for this. Then you move into the Byzantine Empire. Uh, let me see the map for— I don't have the map for that one, but the Byzantine— it's important to understand this is through the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 CE, and this is where the Byzantine Empire would survive and thrive all the way until 1453 CE. Why? Because Constantinople was captured by none other than the Ottomans. Constantinople, yeah, Constantinople, that's the one that was captured by the Ottomans. So however, the Byzantine Empire remained strong for hundreds of years, so till the mid-7th century. And what happened in the 7th century? With the rise of Islam in the Arab world, and this is where Islamic forces invaded Syria, modern-day Syria, and would later take the rest of the Byzantine territories in Palestine, Egypt, and North Africa. Fast forward to 632 CE to 1918 CE. And that is where the Islamic Empire era. So because following the death of the Prophet Muhammad, who died in 632 CE, Islam spread throughout the region, meaning West Asia or Middle East, uh, between 632, which the, the time when he died, till about 661 or 661 CE. And that's where the Khalifa or the, the caliphate Rashidun came after that, established the first four Islamic caliphs of the successor of the Prophet. To those who know a little bit about the Islamic history, you will know that it was Abu Bakr, then it was Umar, then it was Uthman, then it was Ali. Those came four. That's why they call them the four caliphs or the Rashidun. So then you move into 661 CE to 760, 750 CE, that's when the Umayyads— I think I have a picture of the Umayyads. Uh, no, I don't. Yeah, no, I do, I do. My apologies. Here is the Umayyads, because it's very important to understand. The Umayyads, you know, it was headed by none other than Abu Sufyan.— and I remember reading history about them, about this particular dynasty at that time. So the Umayyad family were wealthy merchants from none other than a tribe in Saudi Arabia, modern-day Saudi Arabia, called the Quraysh, and has initially resisted converting to Islam, but later on it did and moved forward. So However, the Umayyad dynasty was split into two branches of the Umayyad family, the Sufyanids and the Marwanids. So, and I'm not gonna get into the detail of all this because it's a long one. I'm gonna provide you the link. The Diwan Institute really did a great job on this one. So what comes after the Umayyads comes the Abbasids, or the Abbasyun in Arabic language dynasty. So the Abbasid dynasty was the second— yes, second greatest Islamic empire and was established after Abu Muslim revolt in 747, which threw Marwan II, so which was the last Umayyad caliph. So the Abbasids expanded the status and power of the previous Islamic regime, establishing the international sphere of influence. Yeah, they were, they were big. They were big. I think I have a map here. Look at this one here, guys. That's how far they expanded. So, and this is when in 1945 CE, the Buyids established an Iranian Shia dynasty within the Abbasid territory. And in 1055 CE, the Turkish Seljuks took over much of the Abbasid dynasty power, though they allowed the Abbasids to retain nominal leadership. So that's what's important about this. Then comes after them the Mamluk, uh, the Mamluk dynasty. The Mamluk dynasty, uh, took the reign of power between 1260 all the way to 1517 CE. And the Mamluks were originally Turkish slave soldiers used by the Abbasids dynasty in the 9th century. Once again, guys, the reason I wanted to spend time in history for you to understand the dynamics of the social setting as to now why there is always something we never understood about the region is this ethnic, uh, uh, web of, of, of, uh, uh, societies that make up what modern-day West Asia or Middle East that is. So, and by the way, the Mamluk, the word Mamluk in Arabic, or in English the same, is Mamluk, but it translates literally into English into the word possessed or property. In Arabic, you say, I am Mamluk of this, meaning I own this, it's property, my property. So And this is where the Mamluks end up fighting for the Islamic Empire, and the Mamluks quickly used their military, their military power. They were very, very powerful in their, in their era. Why? They seized power, this is political power rather, as well deposing caliphs in the Abbasid dynasty. And this once again For those who do not know the history of the region, this is why if you go back, you will notice it was always military coups in Arab countries in the region. Uh, traces back to the old history because here it is, this was a powerful military, the Mamluks, but they seized power, political power, through coup at that time, deposing the caliphs in the Abbasid Dynasty. And of course, after the Mongol sacking of modern-day Baghdad, the Mamluks successfully prevented further invasions into the Levant, establishing themselves as the dominant force in the region. Even though— here's the key— Mamluks were not Arabs. They were non— they were non-Arab Muslims. They successfully fought the Mongols and the Crusaders, earning praise from the Arab Islamic world. This is once again— and, and I'm just fast-forwarding to today with what's going on with the Houthis. This is why I said last time, the Houthis have put now the Muslim and Arab leaders into shame, because Houthis are Muslims. But also you have to understand their background, their ethnic background. And I remember I talked about the history of the Houthis, uh, previously. So the Mamluks maintain a presence in modern-day Egypt and Syria back then, even after the territories became provinces of which empire? 1517. And a question for you guys, at that time Which empire was reigning supreme in 1517? Let me see your answer in the chat box. Uh, oh, you got it! History Discover. I, I know what you mean. You mean the Ottoman, right? The Ottoman. Yeah, Bri Aswar, bro Aswar, you got it. Uh, uh, we did, though. Ottoman boycott, Ottoman. You guys got it, it was the Ottomans, uh, because in 1517, that's what it was. Then comes the era of the Ottoman Empire between 1517 and of course 1918. And you all know what happened in 1918. So, and that's where the Ottomans successfully and thoroughly took control of a large swath of the territory in the region in the 16th century. And the Ottomans took control also of the international trade routes previously controlled by the Mamluks. Once again, history— if we only learn from history, we don't. For us in the West, we are poor readers of history. This is why the Houthis are able to maintain their blockade on the Red Sea. And the US, despite its power, they couldn't defeat them or lift that blockade. So, so the Ottomans at that time, uh, uh, sort of realigned the Islamic world because they had power. So establishing Anatolia as an integral part of the Arab world while an independent Iran was subsequently separated from the new Islamic alignment. Because remember, Iran wasn't an Arab country. Iran is a Persian country. A lot of people do not understand the difference here. Uh, fast forward to— and I'm going to move forward, guys, here because I need to cover the analysis— fast forward to 1908. This is a group of— this is the era when a group of reformists called the Committee of Union and Progress, known as CUP, CUP, the Committee of Union and Progress. So successfully overthrow the Ottoman monarchy to create a constitutional, uh, governance system. So the CUP reformists were commonly known as the Young Turks. That's why if you know the history of Turkey, you should know about this one here. So, so the Young Turks initiated a new movement of Ottoman modernization. Their foreign policy mistakes ultimately led to the demise of the empire. What is, what is the lesson learned into this, guys? The lesson learned is that even the Ottoman Empire was big and empowered, but it went about conquering different places, and at some point it collapsed from within. Same thing that is happening to the United States now. We've been in power over the global system for over 80 years or so, let's say century. Now it's coming to the end. That's the reality of it. So, and this is where you have, at the end of 1918, the Ottoman Empire, or territories, or rather the territories of the Ottoman Empire in West Asia or the Middle East, were carved out or divided, uh, between the Western powers. So, and of course that leads us to 1916, and 1916 was through the Sykes-Picot agreements, which we all know the problems in the Middle East today still takes trace back to that era. So something, uh, when they were, when they were carving out the Middle East, they didn't consider this aspect of the ethnic differences, the, the, the tribes and so forth, and that led to where it is today. So, and this, of course, this turn of event shaped much of the current Middle East today and led to the establishment of modern nations that exist today in the region. And you can all see, uh, I have the map here for you quickly, and I'm gonna go into— but again, I, I find this important for you guys to understand. And I still do not understand, and if you guys agree with me, or agree or disagree, it's just for you to be part of this conversation. For me personally, I do not consider North Africa as part of Middle East. So I just, you know, Egypt, uh, uh, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco— no, I don't consider them as part of Middle East. And again, that's my opinion. So what is yours? So anyway, let's, uh, let's get in into— and I'm going to provide you guys one link, uh, for you to read up in all this stuff here. So And by the way, when I talked about Babylon, Babylon at that time, briefly, the Babylonians, I didn't detail much because what you need to know— and I have two pictures from archives, I had to dig for those guys. This is from archives here. It's nothing clear, but that's just from the archives, and, and I'm sure you guys understand, uh, back then. What you need to understand is that Babylon was an ancient city located in the lower Euphrates River in southern Mesopotamia, which is what in today's term is the city of Hilla in Iraq. And I spent time there when I used to be— when I used to travel to Iraq, uh, modern-day al-Hilla, that's how it's known, which is about 85 kilometers south of modern-day Baghdad, which is the capital of Iraq. A lot of Westerners do not know that in Iraq, that's where the establishment of the Arabic language were formulated. Another word, that's when it starts the grammatical rules of the Arabic language. To those who speak Arabic language, you know how, how grammar is very complicated in the Arabic language, but that's where it started in modern-day Iraq because Iraq was the center of the Arab civilization back then. And as a matter of fact, there are a lot of great thinkers. I can think of one on top of my head is Abu Tayyib al-Mutanabbi. To those who know Arabic, and you will know what I'm talking about here. So, and this is why Babylon functioned as the main cultural and political center of the Akkadian-speaking region of Babylonia. So, and that leads me now to share briefly my excerpt from the book that I wrote way back. That was as soon as I finished my PhD. That was the first book I embarked on, The Ambiguous Foreign Policy of the United States Towards the Muslim World, which we're still seeing today. And here is what I wrote. I write this book with the certainty that American foreign policy towards the Muslim world has entered a new phase of its existence, a new reality that demands creative thinking, flexibility, and systematic understanding, cultural awareness, and effective strategy. I wish strength of character, specifically courage, to those who have been entrusted with formulating American foreign policy so they may lay out the political, diplomatic, and economic arguments regarding issues facing our nation. For as evidenced in the following work, meaning my book, that is, or the writing, the increased anti-US sentiments across the Muslim world, in addition to American decline in global leadership must make the task one only for the brave. Many around the world once admired, respected, and cherished American values, both real and perceived. However, current US policymakers have yielded to competing political agendas, hoping to coerce other countries to adopt the US political system. And that was my argument back then, and here we are. So reality speaks for itself. So, all right, let's get into our analysis here. All this I have to share with you, and, uh, but anyway, it's all about learning, guys. You know this channel is about education information and of course provide you insights that others will not possess. So consider yourself lucky, and for that, for that, please make sure to subscribe to this channel if this is your first time, and thank you for your support. So, so here is what the US official is saying now, that military operations against the Houthis will continue until they stop targeting American ships and maritime shipping. And he did not rule out the possibility of strikes expanding beyond Yemen. Well, we have to, uh, sort of unpack this statement. First of all— pardon me— first of all, the strike targeting American ships and maritime shipping, it's because of a reason. We are going and bombing the, the, uh, the, uh, civilian sectors inside Yemen. We're not targeting military targets, we're targeting civilian installations like, uh, uh, uh, cities. And I'm gonna share with you, if I can get the map here— geography— yeah, I'm gonna share with you the map while I'm talking. I'll show you the locations. I'm as to where some of those strikes are taken. And I give credit to the, uh, World Atlas. So take a look, guys, and see. So this map here has the, uh, the, uh, the regions of, uh, Yemen. Here is Sa'dah in the north. Here is Sana'a, the capital. Abiyán, Al-Baydah, uh, Damar, Remah, Hajjah, and Amran, and Al Hatim, or Al Hazm, I'm sorry. Then Al Jouf region, which is a big region. So, so here is the thing, what the US is saying now, we're gonna keep striking. While you're striking at those locations, for example, the last 3 strikes took place, one of them in, in, in Abyan. There is a, there is a location there called Al Baida. There is the region of Sana'a, which is the capital, and certain regions in Sa'dah. That's where we've been targeting. So where's the military installations into this? And that makes you just wonder, are we just, uh, are we just launching whatever? It's because we have no strategy and thinking we're going to intimidate the Houthis. What the Houthis end up doing is firing back their hypersonic missiles. And that's exactly what they're going to do, because now what you need to understand in this update, I'm going to provide it on two ends. One is Israel and the other one is the United States. So, and that's what's important to understand regarding these statements by the official, to the point that now is saying that the Trump administration is considering reinforcing with US forces in the Middle East. Okay. That's a vague statement, but if we are to go with this argument, we are talking about ground troops. If we are talking— if we are talking about ground troops, where they going to come from? You guys see my point? What I said last time about having 50 military installations in the region, Middle East or West Asia— when I say 50, that includes what we call FOB, for foreign— I mean, I'm sorry, foreign— Forward Operating Bases was FOB. But you have the major bases in Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, in addition to Egypt. Because Egypt, it was my unit right there, the 312th MI. We used to rotate to two locations, Egypt and Kuwait. So that means what? Those troops is going to come out of those locations, which means what? Those countries that hosting US forces are supporting the US targeting the Houthis, which they themselves become a target. This is why I said, and I stand by my statement, that the Houthis have put Arab leaders and Muslim to shame, and rightly so. And this is where you're going to have to understand where these dynamics are, are, are hidden. So, so what I'm going to do, guys, with you here, I'm going to, uh, share with you a clip and I'll provide you the simultaneous translation. Because again, what you need to understand is certain things are not being reported, and that is what I intend So let me share the screen, and like we did last time, I'm going to be doing simultaneous translation for you, and we go from there. And again, if I miss something, my apologies, because I, I, you know, this, uh, when you do simultaneous, you have the conducive setting for all this, but it won't matter. Let's, uh, let's play it. Basically, what the broadcaster is asking a correspondent, who is Al Jazeera correspondent, in Washington, and that guy was in Washington at night, referring to the statements by Marco Rubio, but also pertain to what's going on with this. So, and this is what I'm going to be focusing on in this translation here. So let's bring him back. Here we go. All right, let's unpack little by little here because there is too many moving parts. First of all, it has to do with the strike that the Houthis conducted on none other than this location right here, and I'm going to share with you, uh, the airport. It's the airport of, uh, uh, uh, what's the name of it? Ben Gurion. This is what the Houthis end up using, a, a hypersonic missile into Ben Gurion Airport. So what the reporter is saying is this is the reaction to this attack, and that is what we're going to be talking about. So basically what he's saying is that the the officials in Washington saying, oh, this operation against the Houthi is going to last for 7 days, 24 hours. Okay, and let me— because I don't want to get ahead of myself. This is a statement that is the US administration is not going back on this decision. By targeting the Houthis for 7 days, 24 hours. So according to what the, the correspondent is saying, what he's saying now, however, It appears that he mis— had the— there might have been a miscalculation or a mistake on part of the Americans, because now what we are witnessing is almost the beginning of what took place in Gaza for the first time. The whole world was looking at it that way. It looks like what basically the correspondent is doing is comparing to what the US is doing right now against the Houthis to what really happened at the beginning of the Gaza conflict. And this is what we are going back into now. The world was trying to turn the page over what took place back with the targeting of Gaza back then, but now we are going back to that, especially with this surprise attack by the Houthis using hypersonic. This is where the surprise is, guys. A lot of Washington didn't consider that, didn't think. And the Houthis, you remember when I did the, the, uh, when I did the translation last time about the spokesperson of the media for the Houthis, he said, we will— and I'm paraphrasing— he said, we will escalate if the Americans escalate, and we will target Israel. So basically What you can derive from all this is that now the American attacks on the Houthis is what's causing now the targeting of Israel. This is also could be why the Israeli administration or Netanyahu is coming to Washington next week, because you have now Israel's been— Tel Aviv being targeted. That is what's, what's very, very crucial. So let's continue listening here. This, this is a very, very important one to understand. And what he's saying is that basically there is now a sort of, uh, what's the word I'm looking for, uh, mainly the agreement of sort, consensus, if I may use the term, among most analysts right here in Washington. You know, I, I, I didn't think in those terms, just to make it clear, because if I were thinking that way, I will say so. I, I was against that kind of thinking because I said, this is— they, they have no idea. So what those analysts were saying, according to the, uh, correspondent, is that there is this thinking that existed in Washington prior to, to Houthis launching the hypersonic, that Hamas is weak, Hezbollah is weak, Houthis are weakened. That was the thinking and the consensus among most analysts. And that's what exactly what the, the correspondence is confirming. It's because the thinking was, oh, they are weakened, those, the Hezbollah, Hamas, and, and Houthis, they are weakened because Iran is weakening. That's a mischaracterization, misthinking on part of those so-called analysts and the administration's in Washington, DC. So the thinking, uh, uh, he continues the thinking that the outcome of this thinking that, oh, these groups are now militarily weakened. However, with the launching of the Houthis of their, their hypersonic. This is the, this is the one here, right there. I wanted to show you that one. This is the surface-to-surface hypersonic ballistic. So with the launching of this on Tel Aviv in itself, now Washington and Israel, both of them are forced back to the drawing board to reconsider because now it's an open— Houthis are not backing down. Only the US will have to either keep bombing and bombing— what, buildings? What, what is that for? Or they're gonna have to enter into negotiations with the Houthis behind closed doors, which you and I know what it means. As a matter of fact, we do engage in some of this kind of negotiations behind the scenes, no matter what you hear the media saying. Because this will be like, uh, uh, leaving again with the tail between our legs, like what happened to us in Afghanistan, which was very humiliating. We couldn't defeat the, the groups in Iraq. Now we are seeing the same, and that's why I use the term trap, because now it became clear, uh, Donald Trump didn't think twice about his— because he's thinking his might, military might, is going to do it. It's not going to cut it. So let's continue here. That is a good point because now Trump has two options, either to go with Israel and attack the Houthis and continue down or just withdraw. But at the same time, he is the one when he run for office was running on, oh, we don't want any more war, wars, we want to bring in our troops and all that, and doing the opposite. This is why I always say you can't trust American leadership. I won't even call it leadership because that's not a leadership, that's incompetency. That's what it is. And Trump is, is, is a showman. Trump is not a Trump does not possess the depth when it comes down to geopolitics or global affairs. That simple as that. You know, this kind of, uh, uh, approach to global affairs in this manner, it doesn't cut it. And now he's finding out, maybe I made a mistake. He's not going to admit it because now you have Americans right here, and I kind of read domestic stuff, what's going on. A lot of Americans are now starting to rethink, but it's too late. You voted for the guy. You should have educated yourself before you go and vote for someone like Trump. But also, Trump has to deal with domestic agenda that is piling up. There are issues here in America that he had to deal with. Yeah, with these developments now, because events happen so fast, that's why I wanted to do the updates for you to understand that the hood is not going to wait. The— any other entity is not going to wait. Gaza is not going to wait. And now Trump is in a delicate position because he has to make a decision soon. He can't wait a week or two or three. Decision will have to be made soon. That's why they want about the 7 days striking the Houthis, thinking that they're gonna intimidate them or having the Houthis backing down. And they will be— there is the end, there is no end on sight for that. Houthi is gonna fight back. And once again, because we don't understand, we don't understand the cultural setting in that part of the world, let alone the rugged terrain inside Yemen. Because if the troops, American troops, since Mr. Trump is saying we're gonna send the reinforcement, if you're gonna send the troops including the special ops, it's not gonna cut it. Because we couldn't do it in Afghanistan, what makes us think that we're gonna do it in Yemen. Let's continue here. What he's saying is that prior to the attack of the, uh, the airport, uh, Ben-Gurion, the US sent a strongly worded letter to the Iranian: you have only 2 months to figure this out and stop the Houthis and all that stuff. It's not going to happen because Iranians won't care either. And, and basically that's what I said last time, uh, as far as what the correspondent is saying, is that what the Americans told the Iranians, that if any shot fires, uh, we will not— we're gonna be, uh, holding you liable for what the Houthis are doing. But you all know, you all know that, uh, uh, the, the foreign minister of Iran said we don't dictate to Houthis what they do. They are a sovereign entity. They can decide for themselves. Now Robio is saying— what Robio is saying is that we will hold Iran responsible for the strength of the Houthis. You can just see the double standard. I mean, little Marco, what the heck would he know anyway? So because the— and, and here is one thing you need to understand about how when we go into conflicts, how we go about it. You have to personify an enemy, real or perceived, to justify whatever actions we end up taking. So, and now Trump, as I said, found himself in a very, uh, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Because if he withdraw, that's another slap on the face for the American credibility, which we already lost. We don't have any. Or if he keeps engaging the Houthis, the Houthis is going to be fighting back anyway, and there will be nothing. Nothing is going to be resolved. And that shows you the dilemma, because Mr. Trump didn't think twice. And how could you expect that? Because he is not well-versed when it comes down to understand this dynamic. Yeah, this leads us back, as the, the correspondent saying, is takes us back to the beginning of the Gaza, uh, conflict at the start of this when the administration of the, the incompetent Biden back then, uh, got, got sucked in into that because we provided weapons to Israel and all that stuff. Trump is no different. Trump has already provided $18 billion to Israel and he's gave the green light. You saw, guys, you saw my post that I shared with you for the community. He gave the green light for the Israel to do what they doing right now in Gaza. But here is the important aspect you need to understand. From Gaza, some rockets have been just fired on Israeli cities. Shows you that Israel has not, uh, been able to defeat Hamas as it says. That was one of its, uh, objectives into this conflict. Now the American president has only two options. Either he's going to need to seek some way out, or he's going to be bogged down even deeper into this conflict. That's the only two options he has. And that's exactly what the correspondent saying is that, well, now we're going to see the, the deal per se, if Mr. Trump can cut a deal, because now he only has two options. And as a matter of fact, former military, uh, top brass in the US warned against this because now they warned about Yemen is different. And since Trump thinking that, you know, no, I'm gonna cut a deal with this by forcing them. You all remember Secretary of Defense, uh, uh, Pete Hegseth, uh, always arguing for peace through strength. Same thing the, uh, what's his name, Marco Rubio, is saying. But this is not gonna cut it, and it's not done this way anyway. Washington. Yeah, like I said, he repeats himself as far as what the US, what President Trump is going to do. But one key point he brought up now is that the questions that many Americans now asking is how, how far is Trump willing to go and support Israel now, you know? Because for us, the whole reason for why he was elected to begin with is because of what the previous administration was doing to towards both Ukraine by sending our tax dollars and the dollars that goes to, uh, to Israel and supporting what Israel atrocities that's been committed. You call them what they are. Those are war crimes. The, the, you know, to me it's very heartbreaking to realize what the ugliness of human beings— some of us, not all— what a fellow human being can do to another human being. I mean, you starving people, you know, think of little kids, think of the elderly, you know, starving them, no water, no— and yet the Arab and Muslim leaders are just watching on their screens and all that, you know. It's just, you know, because they have the means. As a matter of fact, just find out now that the Saudis went ahead and purchased more weapons from the United States. That's what I said last time about the bribe for why the US-Russia talks are being held in Saudi Arabia, because Saudi Arabia is afraid of losing its status within the Muslim world. Who gives a damn about Saudi Arabia, what they think, or this Muslim status, whatever? You all know, you know, and again, no offense to religious people, I respect their, their values, whatever, but you all know the lies that can be manifested through religion. Religion is another word that can really really move the masses one direction or another. So, all right, let's continue here. I might have to expedite a little bit. Now that the Americans— what he's saying, now that the Americans are concerned about domestic issues, they are less interested in what's going on. They are less interested in supporting Israel because we— and we do have serious issues right here at home. It's just the government is not disclosing that. Yeah, basically what he's saying is that the president now is, is, is, is just was shocked and surprised by the recent attack of the Houthis on Bin, uh, Bin, uh, on, on the airport. Oh, where is that airport? Right there, on the airport, Ben Gurion Airport. So because he didn't expect that. He didn't expect that. All of a sudden he shocked. But now the people are— people, the Americans here are like starting to think twice about, well, wait a minute, you're the one who voted for him, so live with the consequences of it. Simple as that. Of course, what he's saying is that now the Israelis are saying, oh, they have intercepted their, the, the missiles. But of course, are you going to trust what they say? The same thing they said last time when the Houthis launched other missiles in, uh, in, uh, on, on, on cities in, in, in Israel. So Yeah, what he's saying is that there are now reports suggesting that the Houthis have targeted American military assets in the region. So of course we're not going to hear about this one. Now the question becomes, in your opinion, based on what you know about the Houthis, do you think the Houthis were lying? Yeah, yeah, they basically— what are you saying? The, the broadcaster is asking the correspondent, can you confirm whether there are statements inside the US uh, uh, uh, indicating that the American USS Harry Truman has been attacked, you know. And of course, the correspondent answering, he said, no, there is no declaration of that. But what you can, uh, sort of get the idea from is from Marco Rubio's statements when he stated that the group is still active. Because you know what the purpose of this is? To minimize to minimize the, the, the impact. And of course media, US will do this one. Like I said last time, when the first time they order for the USS Harry Truman to move out of the Red Sea back then, and they stated, the Pentagon said that because they needed to do some repairs or maintenance. It was no maintenance, it was no repair, it was basically a lie. They just didn't want the, the masses to know that the USS Harry Truman has been targeted. Yeah, what he's saying, basically, he, he wanted to repeat what, uh, Marco Rubio said that in his statement, paraphrasing that we, the American Navy, are shutting down everything that the Houthis launch for about 100 miles. I'll let you be the judge of that. I mean, hypersonic, you're going to shut it down, right? Yeah, this is now a confirmation from the US that the Houthis have entered the fight, and there is no backing down on part of the Houthis. Now you have only two options: you either negotiate or you leave, meaning the Americans, which we don't know what it means. So, so anyway, I'm gonna stop right here unless you guys want me keep going with this. Let me see what the community wants because that's how I do things here. What do you guys want? You want me keep going with this or just move on? Yes or no, please. And, and it's only still like 5, 4 minutes left on that clip. Uh, Ali Mutahir, you say keep going. Jason Wu, I can read that. Move on then. History. Okay, the US always— okay, let's move, uh, move on please. Okay, let's move on. That's it. That's what the community wants here. So now what I need you guys to understand is that the idea of— but there is one more clip I'm gonna play for you later on. So, but suffice it to under— to suffice it to understand now that Israel now is becoming very, very concerned Why concerned? Is because its city is going to be targeted. And I'm going to show you a clip of Netanyahu being, uh, escorted from the Knesset into the bunker. That tells you if, if those missiles were, were, was shut down prior to entering the Israeli airspace, then why will they move Netanyahu into the bunker? So, so that's just, uh That's just what I, I, I, I, I don't know. I don't know. To, to me, it became just, uh, very, very, very clear. So suffice it to say that the attack on Ben Gurion Airport, it's a, it's a game changer, a game changer from the aspects of the capabilities. And this is what I need you to understand. And I give credit, by the way, of this picture to Muhammad Hammoud. This is, uh, Sarukh-2, which means Lightning, Lightning 2. Uh, that's the, the, uh, uh, Houthis missile. So, so when you have the hypersonic be launched, that, that tells you the equation has changed now. Yeah, Houthis now are in possession to challenge, because this is a major challenge on the global stage to the American military might. So there's another picture here, uh, that I want to show you. And it says there, from 'ard al-bun ila ardi zaytoun,' from the land of coffee, because Yemen is known for coffee, to the land of, uh, olives, which is known in, in Palestine. So Palestine. And this is the Palestine 2 hypersonic. So that tells me what? Personally, it tells me that the Houthis and not just bluffing or lying. That is where the key to all this. So this is why the Houthis are striking. So, and of course, the American president didn't think of the outcome because of that, that mindset of, oh, we, we have the mighty military. It's the, you know, the bullying mindset. And that one doesn't cut it. It doesn't cut it. So, and this is where you need to hear, because I need you to see, uh, uh, because it's very, very important. It, it'll make more sense to you, uh, once you listen to what, uh, Sari, uh, said in his clip. So let me just play this quickly. Oh, by the way, I'm gonna share, uh, I'm going to share a screen with you of, uh, Netanyahu leaving. Uh, stop this one. Let's share the screen here. Uh, leaving the Knesset to show you, uh, what really, what really happened. Take a look, guys. I'm gonna play it, so— but they are speaking in, uh, in Hebrew. I don't speak Hebrew. And it says right there in Arabic, the moment of the escape. Of Netanyahu from the Knesset to the bunker after the Yemeni strike. So, but that is not the one I wanted to share with you. I wanted to share with you this one here. Discover your new GMC right now at Heritage GMC Buick of Rockville. Come finance a 2025— sorry, no, it's not here, guys. Uh, Yeah, I don't know what it is. Anyway, Bill, I'll, I'll, I'll look it up later on. So, but it appears now that the, uh, the Houthis, because with their attack now, have achieved one of the objectives. Yes, they do have a massive destruction at home, uh, you know, the children, women being attacked on civilian locations, not a target. But they understand that, and they did sort of make it clear to the Yemeni people. And Yemeni people voiced their support for what the Houthis are doing. But what the Houthis now are able to achieve is that the big— on the bigger stage, on the global stage, that is, that they are able to stand up to the Americans. So because now Houthis affirm the ability Yeah, the ability to really either maneuver or surpasses the US, uh, uh, sort of capabilities, military capabilities. That is basically one of the key message. When you attack the USS Harry Truman, that tells you you must have something that is defense. I know the Houthis have shut down— before they have shut down the the MQ-4, uh, which is a drone, US drones. I don't know, but now you're moving into a different level that the Americans didn't count on. Why? Because the Houthis never disclosed. And again, it won't make any sense for the Houthis to disclose what they have. It won't make any sense for Iran to disclose what they have. I know the Russians do it slightly different by showing testing, for example, Zircon missile, which we have nothing to defend against it. The Houthis are doing it differently. That is one of where now you have, uh, the, the, uh, the, uh, the Houthis, which by the way launched over approximately, to my knowledge based on the re— the, the sources that I found, about 46 ballistic and hypersonic missiles Uh, uh, that's with the, the, the, uh, fire. But tells you, if they used 46, that must have at least a few hundred of these missiles. Where are they? Go figure. And this is why when the US said, we, we have killed this and destroyed this on a— don't buy that argument. Don't buy that argument, you know. And if you ever see in a title in YouTube, whatever, 'Oh, the US targeted that.' It's— to me, that becomes, you know, it's just sensationalism, no more, no less. So pay attention to that one, guys, because that's what you need to understand. So now, what the Houthis, uh, what the Houthis were saying is that the idea that, uh— hold on a second. Oh yeah, I, I did find the, uh I did find it. Let me, let me share it with you here because I need you to see, and I'll make a quick translation for it, uh, not in, in detail, but just briefly what, what you need to know. All right, let's get the screen here. DeepStrike, not this one here, it's Share screen right there. It is that one here. And this is, uh, it says, uh, uh, let me share it first right there because you need to understand what, what, what's happening to make sense out of it. So, uh, what it says right there, Bayan al-Kawat Musallah al-Yamaniya, uh I can see. No, Palestine too. Basically what it says is that the, uh, uh, the, the Middle Force of the Yemeni, uh, armed services carried out a qualitative military operation to targeting Ben Gurion Airport that occupied, uh, uh, Jaffa or Haifa, that is, region, with a Palestine II hypersonic missile. Let's take a listen here, guys. He's starting, he's starting with a Quranic verse. Basically what it translates to, if to, uh, if you support God, if you support God, God will support you and will, will, uh, will keep your feet steadfast. That's, that's the basic translation for it here. So, and I'm not going to do the full thing, I just want to show you. So basically what it's saying is, uh, the armed forces have, uh, conducted a qualitative, uh, military operation targeting Ben Gurion in the Jaffa, uh, uh, region. Yeah, we targeted it with a hypersonic, uh, Palestine-2 missile, and the mission, the targeting was successful. That is what he's saying. And basically also what he's saying, and for the fifth day, our armed forces, with the help of, of God, Allah, continue to effectively and responsibly confront the American aggression against Yemen. That is what he's saying in today's What I'm saying is that the Americans, uh, uh, uh, targeted, uh, sort of civilian objectives and facilities in the city or the capital, Sana'a, and some other, governorates over the past few hours. And as a result, or in response to that, the armed forces have escalated their targeting of, uh, uh, enemy warships in the Red Sea, including, yeah, including USS Harry Truman and affiliated warships. Uh, what he's saying in this one is that the operation was conducted or carried out by the missile force. Apparently they have a missile force that deals just with this them. A missile force, the naval forces, and the Air Force using a number of ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones. And, and once again, guys, he confirmed that the, uh, up— the, uh, operation successfully, successfully achieved its objectives. And this leads me to go back to the earlier when, remember, but Arobio was saying, oh, we shut them down 100 miles away, you know. And that's why that correspondent asked the, the, uh, the the broadcaster asked the correspondents in Washington whether it was confirmed in Washington through the reporting of media or papers, whatever, that the USS Harry Truman has been attacked, and he said none. So here is what the spokesperson for the Houthis, Yemeni military, saying, and, and, and you heard what the American side is saying. What he's saying there is the Yemeni Armed Forces, uh, affirm that the American enemy will fail to prevent Yemen from targeting the Israeli enemy in response to the— to its massacre against our people in Gaza. And again, it's just, uh, what he's saying is that they, they also affirm, uh, that the, uh, uh, intensification of the airstrikes and the launching of the more raids will not— he's referring to the American one— will not sort of deter Yemen and the Yemenis from fulfilling their religious and moral duty towards— moral duty towards the oppressed Palestinian people. The, uh, Yemeni forces affirmed, uh, that the American enemy will fail to prevent Yemen, uh, yeah, prevent Yemen, but also the armed forces will continue, okay, they will continue relying on God to prevent, or Allah, or to prevent Israeli navigation and support our people in Gaza. And it's coming to an end. Yeah, and that's basically to support the people in Gaza and to stop the aggression and the siege of the Palestinian, uh, people. So I'm, I'm gonna stop it right here, guys. It's just for you to get the idea. You You know, and here it is, are they gonna be lying? Why would they have the reason to lie for? And I don't think so. Knowing what I know about the Houthis, they're not gonna lie. They only say what they do or they stand firm by what they're saying. So, and suffice it to understand that these dynamics now moving forward, there is another key aspect out of all this that just showed up. And you know what it is? This one has to do with Britain. Yeah, Britain. Britain, UK now, is determined to support Trump in what he's doing in Yemen. Yeah, the UK. I mean, are you gonna trust the, the British anyway? But the UK is saying, well, Starmer is saying we're gonna aid Donald Trump in bombing Yemen. And remember, if you look at the history, go back just about, uh, a few months ago when this incompetent, uh, Sunak used to be in charge. Do you know that the US— the UK launched about 9 UK bombings on Yemen at that time? So, so it shows you, that's my point that I need to get you into all this. It shows you that now the US made a mistake by miscalculating, thinking we're just gonna intimidate the Houthis and do whatever, and turns out to be different. Because now the US will have to solicit the support of so-called NATO members. So if Mr. Trump does that, then where is that idea of you wanted to withdraw American forces from conflicts? So you're doing the same what the previous administration did. And the one before it and the one before it. Because what you need to understand, that is not the president of the United States that controls the policy, is the special interest behind closed doors that they control these aspects of it. And that is why I wanted to do the update for you, to put things in perspective, to understand there is more going to be. This is— there is no end to this. And I am concerned, I'm already concerned for the destruction of civilians and Yeah, Yemen, Yemen is one of the poorest in the Arab and Muslim world countries here. And like I said again, wonderful human beings, but for them to be receiving this massive destruction and so forth, but they're gonna be standing on their feet. Shame on Arab countries. Shame on Arab and Muslim leaders, you know, especially they're alone in Ramadan. So the point is, and I'm gonna summarize this, guys, and, and sign off here. The point is the idea of, uh, uh, the US, the mistake, the miscalculation, thinking that if we show our might, we're gonna intimidate them and they might back down. Turns out to be the reverse. Houthis now are escalating the— as the— and they did say this at the beginning, you all remember, they said we will escalate if the Americans escalate. The only difference the Houthis are doing is They are not only targeting the Americans but also the Israelis, which means now the missiles towards— we're going back to the beginning of the Gaza. This is basically what it is, and it's not going to bode well for the Israelis. Like I said, you got now people starting to leave Israel because it's unsafe. You don't know where those missiles are going to be coming from, and Israel will not be in a position to fend off two fronts or three fronts. The Americans couldn't even lift the blockade in the Red Sea. What makes us think that we're gonna be able to defeat, uh, the Houthis regarding the Red Sea or the Bab el-Mandeb and so forth? Yeah, that's, that's sort of, uh, hubris or arrogance on our part to think we can do this. No, we can't, because we found out, no, even if you go back to 2024 And I remember when the deployment of the B-2— I mean, you deploying a B-2, you know how much it cost for one flight? Serious amount of money, taxpayers. And yet you couldn't defeat the Houthis. So I do believe, and again, I do believe that the Houthis might have in their possession something very advanced. I don't know what it is. I, I, I can't speculate. All I know is the way they showing their strength, their force, they tells me they, they have something special, specific, if I may use the term, in their possession. Something we're not going to be able to get to unless you do ground forces. And if you do ground forces, you all know what it's going to become. It's going to be a militia, it's going to be a, warfare, uh, guerrilla warfare. In other words, street fighting. This is why we end up not getting anything done in Iraq and same in Afghanistan. So are you gonna rely on drones and all that? Yes, you may deploy some advanced drones and so forth, which we do have the capabilities, but on the other hand, don't discount, uh, or, or don't rule out what the Russians might provide the Houthis with, or Iran might provide, especially the Russians regarding the satellite imagery. Even though you will think that the US and Russia now are in talking regarding the peace in Ukraine, but don't be mistaken. I had an interview yesterday, uh, uh, with, uh, Peter Laval from, uh, RT, and regarding, uh, uh, this, and I said Basically, I said, you know, uh, the Russians, they're not going to trust what Trump is saying, you know, and the Russians are not going to back down from their key security concerns, and Russia is not going to turn back, uh, or, or turn over the territories that they acquired. The same thing. So I won't be surprised the Russians will provide some satellite images or some intelligence information Iran can do the same. So, so this is where it's very, very important to understand these dynamics. The one thing that you need to keep in mind is that, uh, with the upcoming meeting next week right here in Israel— between— in Washington, between Israel and the US, talking about strategic, you know, there's no strategic about it. The concern is now they are realizing they are back down in a conflict with the Houthis, and Houthi is not going to back down. So, so I'm going to keep an eye on this developments, guys. I will provide you— once again, my apologies for— I'm going to take care of this issue this afternoon, uh, because I, I don't know what happened, uh, with between the phone and the— yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna, I'm gonna deal with this later on. But anyway, I have to thank Elizabeth because I had to reach out to her and to help me out with this. But thank you for not giving up on me. You guys waited here, and I appreciate you for that. So, so I'm gonna keep up with some updates, and I'll get back to you on this next week. But also, I have other topics I'm gonna be preparing for you because that's what I do in this channel. Uh, that's what this channel is all about. I will greatly appreciate if you hit the like button, and please, please make sure to share the channel with others, and I'm gonna put the link for you here if this is your first time here. I'll be very grateful to you. Of course, it goes without saying how much I thank all you for supporting the upcoming Asia trip. Uh, that's, uh, I'm gonna be doing that in the end of the summer. So if you feel like supporting my upcoming Asia trip, I would greatly appreciate it because again, I do what's coming on the horizon, or over the horizon rather, regarding Southeast Asia or South China Sea or Asia at large. So, so thank you so much all for being here, and I wish you a good weekend, safe weekend. Be safe. And I will, uh, let me, let me say thank you first of all to winner Jasmine. Thank you so much for supporting, uh, the channel. I'm very, very grateful to you. Do. Appreciate you for that. So Army with Harmony, once again, I can't thank you enough, man, for, uh, supporting the channel. You wrote, how might Russia respond after Iran is attacked? You know, uh, Iran will not be attacked. I don't see that happening. And if it does, it will be on a limited basis. But again, if Iran doesn't respond, then that's it, it's going to open itself for more aggression from the Americans and the Israelis. So, but the Israelis, the, I'm sorry, the Russians could provide some other support, some form of, I don't know what it will consist of, because if we are saying to the Americans, don't provide advanced weapons to Ukraine, and the Russians will be doing the same, that's going to be sort of, it's very, very tactical. How they're going to do about this. So, but I don't foresee, uh, the full strikes on, on Yemen. It's not going to be good. So anyway, guys, I hope you enjoyed, uh, this, uh, session here. Hope you learned something, and I look forward to seeing you next time. As always, remember, geopolitics impacts your daily life in more ways than one. Till next time, bye-bye.
