‘This is the beginning of the end for Saudi Arabia; if they continue, their end will come from Yemen’ – Yemeni journalist Hussain Al-Bukhaiti.
On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick and his guest attempt to answer the million dollar question: How did a war-torn nation manage to upend the calculus of global superpowers and multi-billion-dollar defense networks? Al-Bukhaiti addresses the motivations driving the current escalation, dispelling Western narratives of blind aggression. He outlines a strategic, law-bound approach to self-defense, warning that recent violations of the truce have pushed Yemen past the point of no return. With a population where “everyone has their own gun and knows exactly how to use it,” he details the potential mobilization of millions ready to take the battle directly into Saudi territory. He warns: “If your house is made of glass, stop throwing rocks at your neighbors.” Al-Bukhaiti says now that the Houthis have the upper hand, the demands are different for the Saudis. To learn what they are and how the rules of war have been rewritten, watch the latest episode of Sanchez Effect.
