Now, the Houthi rebels, you say? Ah, yes, the chaps in Yemen causing all the ruckus.

They're like the unruly teenagers of the geopolitical world, aren't they? They've taken over the family home and won't clean up their mess until everyone agrees to their terms.


I've been keeping an eye on them, you know, from the comfort of my armchair. It's all rather troubling, really. Watching Trump deal with them is like watching someone try to assemble a flat-pack wardrobe with a hammer and a blindfold. Lots of noise, lots of swearing, and ultimately, not a lot of progress. And the poor country of Yemen is just the Ikea manual they've tossed aside in frustration.

And the people supplying their weapons? It's like giving a toddler a chainsaw and hoping they'll just use it to trim the hedges.
