      but why, is it over control of Yemen's oil or something, is it more due to the sunni/shiite split since the houthis are iranian backed

        yeah you are reaching the end of my knowledge too. my understanding is same as you related to the iran sunni/shiite split. which is also tied to the petrodollar and to the us-approved world and the us-shitlist world.

        SA has a subimperialist role towards Yemen. They would extract value from its ports just like imperialists did in the past by giving themselves sweetheart deals. They also got to control oil production. And of course, part of SA's deal is to be US lackeys most of the time.
