    The houthis are extremists, violent, and anti-democratic. Its a deep shame the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel give Houthis reason to court Iran, and their failed war against Iran did not help.

    However, checking the news i see the majority of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia hit infrastructure while Saudi Arabia regularly hits populated centres.

    This is not a strategy that will help Saudi Arabia in the long term.

      They’ve been at it for 12 years so one would expect them to finally get the point. Maybe they think starving a hundred thousand more Yemeni children will cause the Houthis to give up. That aside while you’re basically right about the Houthis they do get some (but not much) wiggle room since it’s really hard to run a peaceful moderate and democratic country when you have one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world on a permanent basis.
