Jimmy speaks with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson about the recent failed counteroffensive by Yemen’s Saudi-backed government forces against the Houthis, with Johnson arguing that the operation quickly collapsed because it lacked effective artillery and close-air support coordination. He claims the Houthis have strengthened their control over strategically important areas, including territory around the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, while surrounding government forces near Taiz and potentially threatening Aden. The discussion then shifts to the Houthis’ ability to disrupt Saudi oil infrastructure and shipping, with Johnson arguing that Saudi Arabia lacks the military capacity to defeat them and could face serious internal instability if the conflict continues. The segment concludes that Saudi Arabia may ultimately need to seek peace with the Houthis, while also discussing the long historical roots of the Yemen conflict and the limitations of relying on airstrikes against forces operating from mountainous terrain.
