I lived in yemen war myself my father was a Christian he became a Muslim in America and decided to seek knowledge and he chose to go to yemen I was then born in Sanaa we lived very peacefully there our money situation wasn't that good but then the war broke out and the war reached us in Sanaa I remember a white house above the mountain I loved that house for some reason but it got bombarder and I remember seeing just bright light behind the mountain I believe it to be ammunition burning and I remember the loudest sound I ever heard in my life was some ammunition that was somewhere near like underground that belongs to the government it was some horrific situations but I swear allah protected us and I don't remember starving a day in yemen and here I am in America.

Preston continues to prove that subscribing was a great decision. since Russia launched it's full invasion, I have been watching all the usual channels like mcbeth and cappy... but Preston stands head and shoulders above the rest. Please keep it up, man. your channel is my first stop any time I see something develop in these conflicts.
One of my first online friends when I started playing video games was from Yemen, I remember constantly him telling me he got to play because his school was attacked because rebels use it as a place to hide. He would randomly type in chat while we were playing that he could hear bombs in the distance almost constantly, and said him and his family were waiting to legally migrate to the U.S. but it was difficult because his father had a business in Yemen. No clue what happened to him, and if he made it to the U.S... but there are so many innocent people caught up in these conflicts, it's sad.
@@Chaardvark Even more frustrating is that even with all the resources available like the internet, most people choose to stay ignorant, deaf and blind to things that actually matter. Instead they choose to sit at home in nice heated or airconditioned rooms and complain that their bread got 30 cents more expensive in the last 2 years on Tiktok while sipping from their latest trendy Stanley cups.

Thanks for including the humanitarian side of the conflict. I feel the impact of ongoing conflicts like Yemen, Myanmar and Sudan is getting overlooked today.
It's funny because you people are just blatantly using conflicts that you didn't care about before (especially yemen) as a smokescreen for being pro Israel and against palestinians 😂
international community infiltrated by Islamic state cover up international human rights violations by falsely accessing the only democracy in the Middle East.
@AverageReplyer Western nations don't give cramp human rights. If they did, they wouldn't be sending weapons country like Israel uae, funding genocide in Sudan, supporting rapid support forces, running arms sales in the UAE, bombing Yemen, or letting Israel supply weapons to the military junta of Myanmar. Western country having higher values is an oxymoron . west simply pretends has better values hide behind things doing now and in past.
The quality of your videos is escalating faster than Putin in panic mode. You're very quickly becoming the best war coverage on the platform, and that's with a lot of great competition.
"escalating faster than Putin in panic mode" I wonder what you mean, he only makes empty threats, the nuclear card at least. Unless Russia crumbles in Ukraine (seems VERY distant and unlikely), which would lead to the end of Russia anyway, there's no way he would use nukes.
I am proud to be Yemeni but I am also thankful to be born and raised in the US. Our country was one of the most beautiful countries in the world before these terrorist monsters came in and ruined it.

I agree with some of the comments about the zooming, once I noticed it did kind of take me out of it a bit. That being said though, I thought the overall pacing was great! It felt very tight and informative without being too snappy. Your delivery definitely helped, but it felt less like just a chat with Preston and more like a concerted info dump. I liked it a lot! Also, as always, excellent video Preston.
Thanks Preston. I appreciate the different editing techniques and tricks you've been adding. It's great to see you experimenting trying to find your own style and voice. Keep it up my man.
@@woopwoop-pc5dkI believe I have read there were up to 900,000 in all of the Middle East. Now they talk about so called ethnic cleaning or genocide in Gaza- not even close to what happened in all the Muslim countries. Heck how many Syrians were ‘cleansed’ and killed and how many millions did Europe and USA take in? How many gazans or West Bank Arabs have Muslim countries taken? Not many at all.
@Creaserunner and what's your point dibshxt?, YOU chose to take in those refugees and they chose not too. Simple as that you wanna complain about something look at your fxcking foreign policy decisions for the past 50 years.
@@woopwoop-pc5dk Since googling stuff seems to be something out of your range of knowledge, here’s an interesting information for you: There were about 50 000 Jews in Yemen by the early twentieth century.
When I was in Yemen in 2003 it had just become illegal to carry your AK47 downtown in the capital city of Sanaa. That’s changed from what I understand. The only country that rivals America. 22 million people 60 million fire arms.
Nice change in editing Preston 👍 feels a bit too much like a video game but overall a nice shake up to the norm. Appreciate the effort you put into your videos and the non biased approach to the information
Thank you for reporting this @PrestonStewert. You do amazing, reliable work. I have been worried about this for a while. Have seen very few talking about it. You bring a lot of good info to normal people. Stay safe and keep reporting ✌
Terrorists seem to have a hard time with the concept of maneuverable hypersonic VS ballistic hypersonic. To them it's simply what looks the best on the side of a big aluminum pipe.
Weren’t you the a$$holes screaming for years that the west had nothing to fear from « hypersonics » because « akchually all ballistic missiles are hypersonic » and « the kinzhal is just an Iskander, those are basically the same thing» ?
I like this video format. The visuals are good and seem to correspond with what you're talking about. I'm not a fan of the sound effects, or the continuous slow zoom on you. Great video and a nice change
I understand you don't know who is watching so I understand that you've done an explanation video, explaining a subject you cover but let's keep with the extremely good videos on current geopolitical events from a down the middle view. Very well presented video though so well done 👏
This is the third of three editors that I tested out this month, they each did one video. Sort of weighing the next move and if it's the right fit at this point
@@PrestonStewart The constant zoom-in/out when you're on cam becomes way too disrupting. Either due to the amount of focus or pace at which it's done. The 10:50 - 11:10 is especially bad. Makes me think the channel wanting to be more akin to a clickbaity news outlet rather than the depths you've previously showed. Also the camera shutter sound gets used a bit more than plenty at times.
@@ordolupus I usually associate the slow zoom-in-zoom out with content that is less content and more fluff and thus used as a way to distract from how empty those other videos are. You do see that technique used a lot to get more screen time out of still images, particularly old photographs.
Thank you for another great video! I'd love to see more videos where you go back and show what led to current events. Some I've thought about are the Chinese "island building"/South China Sea campaign, the Sudan crisis, and Ukraine giving up its Nukes for security (and where that got them). Keep up the great work!
Thank you for information, and listening to the feedback people gave about the music. I guess I'm being nitpicky here, but I miss the old dialogue, where is more conversation-like, "extemporaneous", as my comm professor would say.
Is there a sort of media blackout on ships getting damaged or sunk by the houthis? We hear all this talk about how often they’re attacking ships but rarely see any of the aftermath.
I don't think so , I think they sunk 2 ships and it was well covered , and since they started attacking ships most ships avoided the red sea all together.
@@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310 not all ships goes around Africa if you want to put a number on it it's about 50% , last I heard of their attack for example was an Turkish ship few days ago it's not 1st page news but certainly covered by news sites .
Which is fucking insane Hasan did that. I knew he is a dumb ass himbo but the Houthis just recently attacked an all girls school beating them to get out, killing some teachers and some girls. I'm sure kidnapped some aswell but that wasn't reported even tho it's know that they do it just like the rest. Slavery is completely legal in Yemen aswell. They see no problem with raping children either. I swear these streamers and pro palestine people are all just virtue signalers that hide how terrible of people they are by "showing" people the opposite.
The biggest enemies of the west are westerners themselves. ive Only seen white people support their enemies while cursing their own country and history.
Excellent content as always Preston. The new zoom effects while you are on camera are a little over the top in my opinion, any way to slow the zoom down a bit? It started to make my brain think I was on a rollercoaster and made your content a bit harder to watch. I understand you need the retention beat and making it move helps with that, maybe just not quite as fast of movement please.
If 4 of the big Yemeni's ports are hit and destroyed, we are looking at a devastating scale of food shortage in their country. Some people really have a death wish.

@ I am aware. But that isn’t enough for their population. They have been having famine like conditions since 2016. UNICEF estimates about 80% of their population are in need of aid. We had a charity drive for them a while back before the Ukraine war.
@@niweshlekhak9646 It isn't widely discussed (or I have not seen it discussed), but many 3rd World countries along the equatorial belt in Africa, the Middle East, South/central America, and south Asia have much bigger populations than they can possibly feed. Reasons for this are many, but it is only (barely) possible because there is global free trade and considerable aide sent from Western countries. Ironically, this is the exact same thing the Houthis are striking at with their missile interdiction. When things interrupt the foreign food/support chain (i.e. the grain blockades early in the Ukraine War from Russia & Ukraine), things get very rocky out there, very quickly. Sri Lanka had a government fall due to shortages, for example.It's also why there are such huge refugee waves heading to Western countries, or even places like China; the excess population is trying to find a place to live.
Yeah its worth remembering too US and Is- ra he have civilian embassies and bases within Houtis missal range, in countries with literally no air defense systems, so you dont just say with your two brain cells that you will just get up and attack someones civilian target. lol Typical pa.j__pops
You're videos have always been amazing, both because of the commentary and the information you distribute in a informative and easy to digest way but a must say I really like the new visuals and audio in this new video
I don't know if economically it makes sense to employ this new editor and I don't know if in terms of the UA-cam algorithm it adds anything but I really like the editing
Thanks for also highlighting the humanitarian cost and showing the people there. If everybody had to see their faces or know their names every single day maybe people would want to try harder to help them Out of sight, out of mind for a lot of Americans
Love the content! Note to your editor: the slow zoom in and out on the "Preston" sections is too much. Every time he was on screen, the camera was zooming in and out, and fairly quickly. Very distracting and almost a little nauseating!
Countries are scrambling to find new trade efficient routes around the Bab al Mandab Strait. Any alternative will create additional costs for consumers.
This editor was much better than the other ones you used recently. He is loosing some of your persona in the editing. I felt you were more a formal news reporter in CNN than the genuine person I grew to appriciate. It's not necessarily bad if that's what you're aiming for.
I love your channel and really appreciate the quality content and information, I just can’t stand that zoom feature whenever the camera goes to yourself. It reminds me of “Donut Operator” and the cringe editing they use to keep your attention with constant cuts and zooms, it’s just all too much and distracting. Otherwise thank you for what you’re doing and keep the info coming!
Well done. Succinct expression of a serious, and too often, ignored problem. And yes, the people who just want to live their lives are true victims of something they cannot control.
DUDE! You're in a WOW hardcore death vid by Xaryu! the video is "Bank Alt Accidentally Kills Himself in Hardcore WOW..." its at 10:55 in the vid is so hilarious.
You know over a century ago Britain and France were able to ensure safe passage for all naval vessels - no matter where they were from - with a fraction of the budget, manpower and technology available to Uncle Sam now. However did they manage it, I wonder!
It amazes me that the media put a little attention to Taiz city siege and water access prevention that they caused and portrayed them as a super power and defender of the injustice
I don't think media doesn't even pro Palestine media like araba news, al Aljazeera middle east bring up human right abuse. although are people social media and streamer that do support them very extent .
lol the graphic says Yemen is split between Houthis and Al-Qaeda, then when the government flees the capital they are shown fleeing to the Al-Qaeda side. Very true, but probably an oversight in this video!
The sooner countries can become energy, goods, and service independent, the less threat these countries become. USA continues to drill oil, EU has to rely more on nuclear energy.
@@niweshlekhak9646no it was all out war since 2014 , yes now it died down duo to Saudi and Iranian " agreement" ...... Back then it was daily non stop airtrikes for 3 years not only from Saudi air force but from UAE and Egyptian air force and the ground troops were mainly Sudanese troops under command of Saudi officers , the civilian casualties from Yemen is extremely high more than Ukraine and even Gaza .
I don't see how the Houthis can be destroyed, or even forced to share power with other factions, unless they're evicted from Tihamah. Without access to seaports they would be very weakened.
@ineedapharmists too loud and pull away from his speech. The irony is that they'd be less distracting if he had background music, which he dropped after people complained it was too distracting when he tried it out.
I wasn’t as much of a fan of this video. More distracting audio effects and video editing combined with more of a “you should feel a certain way” tone instead of the usual “make your own informed conclusions”. Still enjoy the content but this one didn’t do it for me.
@@Akli12they are just taking their turn, again, along with all the other cults; um, I mean religions. Take religion out of history and we would have had colonies out in the solar system
As a Yemeni, I don't like Western countries in general, but I agree with you, it is not about religion though, it is more about culture, don't forget that we Arabs in general are so tribal people, even before we were countries we were mostly tribes ruling cities, for example take Yemen, there were 10 tribes ruling the area today called Yemen, so there are a lot of differences in religion, cultures, tribes, language and history, the things houthis are trying to do in Yemen is to unite it under their rule, and how would they do that? Well... try to defend Palestine, and sadly most Yemeni's nowadays support them, all of us don't like israel here, and houthis knew how to use this point sadly, the only way to solve this from my point of view is to be an absoloute monarchy instead of democracy in Yemen right now, because absoloute monarchy proved to be the best options for Arabs, and democracy is a failure for us, because absoloute monarchy increase the nationalisim in Arab countries, leading in more stability and more trust to the government, thats why countries ruled by that system are always good, espicially in Arab world.
The map is wrong the Houthis don't operate in Aden or the Bab al Mandeb directly but they exist ~100 km to the north of the straight. They don't have ocean connections to the Indian ocean

I lived in yemen war myself my father was a Christian he became a Muslim in America and decided to seek knowledge and he chose to go to yemen I was then born in Sanaa we lived very peacefully there our money situation wasn't that good but then the war broke out and the war reached us in Sanaa I remember a white house above the mountain I loved that house for some reason but it got bombarder and I remember seeing just bright light behind the mountain I believe it to be ammunition burning and I remember the loudest sound I ever heard in my life was some ammunition that was somewhere near like underground that belongs to the government it was some horrific situations but I swear allah protected us and I don't remember starving a day in yemen and here I am in America.

Crazy how Yemen crisis is still going on. Back in high school I did my final on the Yemen crisis and that’s been 10 years ago
Yemeni from the capital Sana'a, here. This is a war by the US, NATO and their Wahhabi GCC puppets using Wahhabi terrorists against Yemen and is currently raging on despite a "truce" that meant lesser scale of clashes with an ongoing sea, air and land blockade starving a child to death every 10 minutes.
ISIS and al-Qaeda, according to BBC, CNN, AP and other media outlets, are used by the US and it's allies against Yemenis just like the case in Syria where they are armed and called moderate rebels and against the Soviets in Afghanistan before.

All this to reinstall an ousted puppet regime in a war that has killed more than 400,000 Yemenis directly and many more due to malnutrition/famine, epidemics, blocking Sana'a Int'l Airport that was the lifeline for medical treatment abroad and according to the Norwegian Refugee Council more than 86,000 patients in dire need of medical treatment die a year. This caused the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII, according to the UN, as 22 million Yemenis are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance due to the incessant bombing and sea, air and land blockade and the epidemics that the bombings and blockade caused.

The Saudi-funded spread of Wahhabism began as a result of Western countries asking Riyadh to help counter the Soviet Union during the Cold War, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told the Washington Post.
Speaking to the paper, bin Salman said that Saudi Arabia's Western allies urged the country to invest in mosques and madrassas overseas during the Cold War, in an effort to prevent encroachment in Muslim countries by the Soviet Union.
He added that successive Saudi governments had lost track of that effort, saying "we have to get it all back." Bin Salman also said that funding now comes mostly from Saudi-based "foundations," rather than from the government.
The crown prince’s 75-minute interviewwith the Washington Post took place on March 22.
"Asked about the Saudi-funded spread of Wahhabism, the austere faith that is dominant in the kingdom and that some have accused of being a source of global terrorism, Mohammed said that investments in mosques and madrassas overseas were rooted in the Cold War, when allies asked Saudi Arabia to use its resources to prevent inroads in Muslim countries by the Soviet Union."
Successive Saudi governments lost track of the effort, he said, and now “we have to get it all back.” Funding now comes largely from Saudi-based “foundations,” he said, rather than from the government.

Zaidis accompanied by Shafii and Ismaili Yemenis defeated the Portuguese, British and Ottomans (we had nothing against their people we were defending our country against tyranny and invasion by elite imperialists ruling those resources-thirsty empires). Out of the grand Ottoman army of 86,000 sent to occupy Yemen's Zaidi mountainous areas who were equipped with superior gun powder weapons and cannons against Yemeni fighters armed with swords, bows arrows, spears and catapults, only 6 thousand returned and Yemenis welcomed those who wanted to stay as citizens and Muslim brothers (many families of their lineage are still in Yemen and proud of their origins) and didn't enslave them, unlike the Ottomans under Ozdimir Pasha who destroyed Sana'a, killing 10 thousand of it's unarmed male population even though they surrendered without a fight and took 10 thousand females as slaves to Istanbul where they were sold among other atrocities. Remember this was when Ottomans would conquer European Kingdoms with less than 20,000 troops.
Some Ottoman soldiers couldn't stand skinning Yemeni civilians alive or impaling them (among other Turkic/Mongolic torture methods) that they deserted the Ottoman armies and sought refuge among their Yemeni brothers. Most of the prophet's Ansar companions were Yemenis from the Aws and Khazraj tribes of Medina btw, so there's no way anyone would claim Yemenis weren't Muslims enough.
An Iraqi politician who knew İsmet İnönü was quoted in al-Jazeera documentary as saying that Nasser committed a huge mistake by invading Yemen (where he lost the majority of a Soviet-equipped and funded 70,000 force) stating that he was a commander in Yemen and that Yemeni fighters would beat Ottoman troops and use their weapons against them and that they never miss a shot as they always shoot to kill. He also stated that he fought many nations including the Serbs, Greek, Russians, English, French, Italians etc and have never fought tougher fighters than Yemenis.

Preston continues to prove that subscribing was a great decision.
since Russia launched it's full invasion, I have been watching all the usual channels like mcbeth and cappy... but Preston stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Please keep it up, man. your channel is my first stop any time I see something develop in these conflicts.
One of my first online friends when I started playing video games was from Yemen, I remember constantly him telling me he got to play because his school was attacked because rebels use it as a place to hide. He would randomly type in chat while we were playing that he could hear bombs in the distance almost constantly, and said him and his family were waiting to legally migrate to the U.S. but it was difficult because his father had a business in Yemen. No clue what happened to him, and if he made it to the U.S... but there are so many innocent people caught up in these conflicts, it's sad.

So proud of you and the work you are doing ! Really appreciate it
Thanks for including the humanitarian side of the conflict. I feel the impact of ongoing conflicts like Yemen, Myanmar and Sudan is getting overlooked today.
No Jews no news.
It's funny because you people are just blatantly using conflicts that you didn't care about before (especially yemen) as a smokescreen for being pro Israel and against palestinians 😂
@IbnRushd-mv3fp what's wrong being pro western country with higher value over human rights?
international community infiltrated by Islamic state cover up international human rights violations by falsely accessing the only democracy in the Middle East.
@AverageReplyer Western nations don't give cramp human rights. If they did, they wouldn't be sending weapons country like Israel uae, funding genocide in Sudan, supporting rapid support forces, running arms sales in the UAE, bombing Yemen, or letting Israel supply weapons to the military junta of Myanmar. Western country having higher values is an oxymoron . west simply pretends has better values hide behind things doing now and in past.
Thank you for highlighting the impact on Yemen’s civilians. This is such an important part of the story and so often overlooked.
The quality of your videos is escalating faster than Putin in panic mode. You're very quickly becoming the best war coverage on the platform, and that's with a lot of great competition.

"escalating faster than Putin in panic mode" I wonder what you mean, he only makes empty threats, the nuclear card at least. Unless Russia crumbles in Ukraine (seems VERY distant and unlikely), which would lead to the end of Russia anyway, there's no way he would use nukes.

I agree with some of the comments about the zooming, once I noticed it did kind of take me out of it a bit. That being said though, I thought the overall pacing was great! It felt very tight and informative without being too snappy. Your delivery definitely helped, but it felt less like just a chat with Preston and more like a concerted info dump. I liked it a lot!
Also, as always, excellent video Preston.
Thanks Preston. I appreciate the different editing techniques and tricks you've been adding. It's great to see you experimenting trying to find your own style and voice. Keep it up my man.

thanks for the eye-opener
I like this video format. The visuals are good and seem to correspond with what you're talking about. I'm not a fan of the sound effects, or the continuous slow zoom on you.
Great video and a nice change
Agreed, definitely not a fan of the zoom when Preston is speaking
I really liked the zoom - it kept me engaged, rather than feeling as though I were merely "being lectured".

Hey the editing and this one is top-notch for real 👍👍👍
I understand you don't know who is watching so I understand that you've done an explanation video, explaining a subject you cover but let's keep with the extremely good videos on current geopolitical events from a down the middle view. Very well presented video though so well done 👏
Great video man.
Love yo vids you got new editing right?
This is the third of three editors that I tested out this month, they each did one video. Sort of weighing the next move and if it's the right fit at this point
@@PrestonStewart The constant zoom-in/out when you're on cam becomes way too disrupting. Either due to the amount of focus or pace at which it's done. The 10:50 - 11:10 is especially bad. Makes me think the channel wanting to be more akin to a clickbaity news outlet rather than the depths you've previously showed.
Also the camera shutter sound gets used a bit more than plenty at times.
Couldn’t agree more! Well said
@@ordolupus I usually associate the slow zoom-in-zoom out with content that is less content and more fluff and thus used as a way to distract from how empty those other videos are.
You do see that technique used a lot to get more screen time out of still images, particularly old photographs.
@@ordolupus completely agree.
Thank you for another great video! I'd love to see more videos where you go back and show what led to current events. Some I've thought about are the Chinese "island building"/South China Sea campaign, the Sudan crisis, and Ukraine giving up its Nukes for security (and where that got them). Keep up the great work!
The animations and diagram are top notch, really helps to understand it all, well done!
This is an amazing video (as always)
Thank you for information, and listening to the feedback people gave about the music. I guess I'm being nitpicky here, but I miss the old dialogue, where is more conversation-like, "extemporaneous", as my comm professor would say.
Is there a sort of media blackout on ships getting damaged or sunk by the houthis?
We hear all this talk about how often they’re attacking ships but rarely see any of the aftermath.
Where are you looking? they are all over YT just look at any non western mainstream media source .
I don't think so , I think they sunk 2 ships and it was well covered , and since they started attacking ships most ships avoided the red sea all together.
@so who are they attacking if the ships are all going the long way around now?
@@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310 not all ships goes around Africa if you want to put a number on it it's about 50% , last I heard of their attack for example was an Turkish ship few days ago it's not 1st page news but certainly covered by news sites .
Great video. Editing is smooth. Gives off T&P vibes, which i like since i watch him too. Keep it up, man
And today they are on twitch getting support from major US streamers.
Yeah Hasan needs to go to jail and be banned from streaming on all platforms. His little minions deserve the same.
Which is fucking insane Hasan did that. I knew he is a dumb ass himbo but the Houthis just recently attacked an all girls school beating them to get out, killing some teachers and some girls. I'm sure kidnapped some aswell but that wasn't reported even tho it's know that they do it just like the rest. Slavery is completely legal in Yemen aswell. They see no problem with raping children either. I swear these streamers and pro palestine people are all just virtue signalers that hide how terrible of people they are by "showing" people the opposite.
The biggest enemies of the west are westerners themselves. ive Only seen white people support their enemies while cursing their own country and history.
Lol it's a musical my dude 😂
@ name checks out per usual
Excellent content as always Preston. The new zoom effects while you are on camera are a little over the top in my opinion, any way to slow the zoom down a bit? It started to make my brain think I was on a rollercoaster and made your content a bit harder to watch. I understand you need the retention beat and making it move helps with that, maybe just not quite as fast of movement please.
Thanks, Preston.
Sounds like your editor might have overcooked the reverb on this video. Great info as always though! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the info, Preston.
Thanks very informative!
Amazing content as always. Maybe a bit heavy on the zooming in and out... It was distracting and slightly nauseating
agree, turned my stomach
This is America the world needs
Hey Preston are you able to do any vids of what’s happening in Sudan? I’d like to know more about that, I read some online but don’t find much
Love your work as always.
If 4 of the big Yemeni's ports are hit and destroyed, we are looking at a devastating scale of food shortage in their country. Some people really have a death wish.
Yemeni from the capital Sana'a, here. This is a war by the US, NATO and their Wahhabi GCC puppets using Wahhabi terrorists against Yemen and is currently raging on despite a "truce" that meant lesser scale of clashes with an ongoing sea, air and land blockade starving a child to death every 10 minutes.
ISIS and al-Qaeda, according to BBC, CNN, AP and other media outlets, are used by the US and it's allies against Yemenis just like the case in Syria where they are armed and called moderate rebels and against the Soviets in Afghanistan before.

...al-Qaida militants are effectively on the same side as the Saudi-led coalition - and, by extension, the United States." apnews.com/f38788a561d74ca78c77cb43612d50da/AP-investigation:-Yemen-war-binds-US,-allies,-al-Qaida
The BBC has found evidence in Yemen that troops from a Saudi-led coalition force and al-Qaeda militants are both fighting Houthi rebels in a key battle.
www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35630194
All this to reinstall an ousted puppet regime in a war that has killed more than 400,000 Yemenis directly and many more due to malnutrition/famine, epidemics, blocking Sana'a Int'l Airport that was the lifeline for medical treatment abroad and according to the Norwegian Refugee Council more than 86,000 patients in dire need of medical treatment die a year. This caused the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII, according to the UN, as 22 million Yemenis are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance due to the incessant bombing and sea, air and land blockade and the epidemics that the bombings and blockade caused.

The Saudi-funded spread of Wahhabism began as a result of Western countries asking Riyadh to help counter the Soviet Union during the Cold War, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told the Washington Post.
Speaking to the paper, bin Salman said that Saudi Arabia's Western allies urged the country to invest in mosques and madrassas overseas during the Cold War, in an effort to prevent encroachment in Muslim countries by the Soviet Union.
He added that successive Saudi governments had lost track of that effort, saying "we have to get it all back." Bin Salman also said that funding now comes mostly from Saudi-based "foundations," rather than from the government.
The crown prince’s 75-minute interviewwith the Washington Post took place on March 22.
"Asked about the Saudi-funded spread of Wahhabism, the austere faith that is dominant in the kingdom and that some have accused of being a source of global terrorism, Mohammed said that investments in mosques and madrassas overseas were rooted in the Cold War, when allies asked Saudi Arabia to use its resources to prevent inroads in Muslim countries by the Soviet Union."
Successive Saudi governments lost track of the effort, he said, and now “we have to get it all back.” Funding now comes largely from Saudi-based “foundations,” he said, rather than from the government.

Zaidis accompanied by Shafii and Ismaili Yemenis defeated the Portuguese, British and Ottomans (we had nothing against their people we were defending our country against tyranny and invasion by elite imperialists ruling those resources-thirsty empires). Out of the grand Ottoman army of 86,000 sent to occupy Yemen's Zaidi mountainous areas who were equipped with superior gun powder weapons and cannons against Yemeni fighters armed with swords, bows arrows, spears and catapults, only 6 thousand returned and Yemenis welcomed those who wanted to stay as citizens and Muslim brothers (many families of their lineage are still in Yemen and proud of their origins) and didn't enslave them, unlike the Ottomans under Ozdimir Pasha who destroyed Sana'a, killing 10 thousand of it's unarmed male population even though they surrendered without a fight and took 10 thousand females as slaves to Istanbul where they were sold among other atrocities. Remember this was when Ottomans would conquer European Kingdoms with less than 20,000 troops.
Some Ottoman soldiers couldn't stand skinning Yemeni civilians alive or impaling them (among other Turkic/Mongolic torture methods) that they deserted the Ottoman armies and sought refuge among their Yemeni brothers. Most of the prophet's Ansar companions were Yemenis from the Aws and Khazraj tribes of Medina btw, so there's no way anyone would claim Yemenis weren't Muslims enough.
An Iraqi politician who knew İsmet İnönü was quoted in al-Jazeera documentary as saying that Nasser committed a huge mistake by invading Yemen (where he lost the majority of a Soviet-equipped and funded 70,000 force) stating that he was a commander in Yemen and that Yemeni fighters would beat Ottoman troops and use their weapons against them and that they never miss a shot as they always shoot to kill. He also stated that he fought many nations including the Serbs, Greek, Russians, English, French, Italians etc and have never fought tougher fighters than Yemenis.
This is the vid: ua-cam.com/video/BnWRsLXM3y8/v-deo.html
They grow their own food Yemen is mountainous with shores.
@ I am aware. But that isn’t enough for their population. They have been having famine like conditions since 2016. UNICEF estimates about 80% of their population are in need of aid. We had a charity drive for them a while back before the Ukraine war.
@@niweshlekhak9646 It isn't widely discussed (or I have not seen it discussed), but many 3rd World countries along the equatorial belt in Africa, the Middle East, South/central America, and south Asia have much bigger populations than they can possibly feed. Reasons for this are many, but it is only (barely) possible because there is global free trade and considerable aide sent from Western countries. Ironically, this is the exact same thing the Houthis are striking at with their missile interdiction. When things interrupt the foreign food/support chain (i.e. the grain blockades early in the Ukraine War from Russia & Ukraine), things get very rocky out there, very quickly. Sri Lanka had a government fall due to shortages, for example.It's also why there are such huge refugee waves heading to Western countries, or even places like China; the excess population is trying to find a place to live.
Yeah its worth remembering too US and Is- ra he have civilian embassies and bases within Houtis missal range, in countries with literally no air defense systems, so you dont just say with your two brain cells that you will just get up and attack someones civilian target. lol Typical pa.j__pops
You're videos have always been amazing, both because of the commentary and the information you distribute in a informative and easy to digest way but a must say I really like the new visuals and audio in this new video
I don't know if economically it makes sense to employ this new editor and I don't know if in terms of the UA-cam algorithm it adds anything but I really like the editing
God I hope you don’t spread misinformation, you’re the only foreign conflict source I watch lol
Great vid as always 👍
Ah, Yemen the last place on earth where the legal age for marriage is 5 years old.
Yep, and libtards wonder why genpop don't give a fuck for these people
Thanks for also highlighting the humanitarian cost and showing the people there. If everybody had to see their faces or know their names every single day maybe people would want to try harder to help them
Out of sight, out of mind for a lot of Americans
Please stop with the camera shutter sound and the zooming… the graphics are nice, but please tone it down a touch
No
around @6:31 mark 'in recent months' was said but you have a picture of trump instead of biden. was this an error?
The situation in Yemen is truly heartbreaking
Love the jump in production value with the animated graphics but good god we gotta chill on the zooming in and out every frame you're talking in lol
There are many problems going on, but more importantly, children in war-torn areas cannot escape poverty.
awesome content! it is better without background music. Now there are sound effects and camera slowly zooming in!😮
Production quality on this videonis top notch
Frame is a bit awkward. I'd suggest including in your hands for gesture communication
Did you get a new video editor? The constant zoom ins/outs are super distracting.
great, I see stories in the news but you've highlighted the civlian aspect
Love the content!
Note to your editor: the slow zoom in and out on the "Preston" sections is too much. Every time he was on screen, the camera was zooming in and out, and fairly quickly. Very distracting and almost a little nauseating!
I'm loving the higher production quality here.
Countries are scrambling to find new trade efficient routes around the Bab al Mandab Strait. Any alternative will create additional costs for consumers.
This editor was much better than the other ones you used recently.
He is loosing some of your persona in the editing. I felt you were more a formal news reporter in CNN than the genuine person I grew to appriciate.
It's not necessarily bad if that's what you're aiming for.
Here is another paradox; the Hamas base is Sunny but the Palestinians in Gaza are Shia & they overwhelmingly voted Hamas in, in the 2006 elections.
The middle East has been unstable since before my great grandmother, in Nigeria, was born and it will remain unstable after I pass away 😒
I love your channel and really appreciate the quality content and information, I just can’t stand that zoom feature whenever the camera goes to yourself. It reminds me of “Donut Operator” and the cringe editing they use to keep your attention with constant cuts and zooms, it’s just all too much and distracting.
Otherwise thank you for what you’re doing and keep the info coming!
Agree. This is a tactic often used to conceal the fact that a channel is light on information. It really brings down the value of the channel to me.
Well done. Succinct expression of a serious, and too often, ignored problem. And yes, the people who just want to live their lives are true victims of something they cannot control.
Love your videos Preston. But Too much random zooming in and out in this video though
DUDE! You're in a WOW hardcore death vid by Xaryu! the video is "Bank Alt Accidentally Kills Himself in Hardcore WOW..." its at 10:55 in the vid is so hilarious.
Everyone is always asking, who are the Houthis, but nobody thinks to ask how are the Houthis.
You know over a century ago Britain and France were able to ensure safe passage for all naval vessels - no matter where they were from - with a fraction of the budget, manpower and technology available to Uncle Sam now. However did they manage it, I wonder!
It amazes me that the media put a little attention to Taiz city siege and water access prevention that they caused and portrayed them as a super power and defender of the injustice
I don't think media doesn't even pro Palestine media like araba news, al Aljazeera middle east bring up human right abuse. although are people social media and streamer that do support them very extent .
Any lasting solution has to come from the people of the region. History shows you what happens otherwise, and to not hold your breath.
Very professional presentation! Balanced reporting. I like to watch your podcasts
Is it possible to construct an oil pipeline to Port Said near Cairo?
Never mess with the honey Badgers💪💪
As long as they subscribe to that primitive mindset, war will never end in the mid-east.
As a Yemeni Muslim, I agree, none of us like israel, but we don't need to make Yemen another Gaza
Are these animations taken from somewhere else? Or is it the same sources providing you both? It's so familiar.
The maps remind me of CaspianReport.
lol the graphic says Yemen is split between Houthis and Al-Qaeda, then when the government flees the capital they are shown fleeing to the Al-Qaeda side. Very true, but probably an oversight in this video!
What you describe about the humanitarian side is beyond tragic yet msm does not talk about it much.
Commenting for the algorithm
Love the cash pyramid at 3:26
Great work as always, however I’m really not a fan of all of the new zoom shots
These aren't religions. That's just the window. Its about power of politics and the citizens have no say .
Iran and the Houthis adhere to a false doctrine. This false doctrine does in fact play a role in their actions.
The sooner countries can become energy, goods, and service independent, the less threat these countries become. USA continues to drill oil, EU has to rely more on nuclear energy.
What a first 5 seconds🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
America and Saudi Arabia were fighting the houthis for 10 years and failed.
There was no intent from both sides. They carried out occasional bombings and raids whenever Houthi annoyed them.
@@niweshlekhak9646no it was all out war since 2014 , yes now it died down duo to Saudi and Iranian " agreement" ...... Back then it was daily non stop airtrikes for 3 years not only from Saudi air force but from UAE and Egyptian air force and the ground troops were mainly Sudanese troops under command of Saudi officers , the civilian casualties from Yemen is extremely high more than Ukraine and even Gaza .
Heh, remember when Twitch's Hasan (Cenk's nephew) had a Houthi "freedom fighter" on and basically was gushing over him? Weird times we're living in.
Hey preston can you cover what turkey is doing to the kurds
The frame with trump and bibi during the phrase "in recent months" clearly incorrect. Why didnt you put biden in that picture?
I love my ridge wallet,wife got it for me last Christmas
I don't see how the Houthis can be destroyed, or even forced to share power with other factions, unless they're evicted from Tihamah. Without access to seaports they would be very weakened.
Yes whoever fighting in Yemen won't be defeated easily or never will, Yemen is the Afghanistan of the middle east geographically
The transitions are fine, but the camera sounds and slide sounds are a bit unnecessary and distracting.
How TF is the slide sounds distracting
@ineedapharmists too loud and pull away from his speech. The irony is that they'd be less distracting if he had background music, which he dropped after people complained it was too distracting when he tried it out.
I wasn’t as much of a fan of this video. More distracting audio effects and video editing combined with more of a “you should feel a certain way” tone instead of the usual “make your own informed conclusions”.
Still enjoy the content but this one didn’t do it for me.
Islamic group without turning extremist challenge : IMPOSSIBLE 😂😂😂😂
Their book is already extreme
@@Akli12they are just taking their turn, again, along with all the other cults; um, I mean religions. Take religion out of history and we would have had colonies out in the solar system
Every military group based on religion is basically Extrimist
*White people trying not to shill for Israel challenge IMPOSSIBLE
As a Yemeni, I don't like Western countries in general, but I agree with you, it is not about religion though, it is more about culture, don't forget that we Arabs in general are so tribal people, even before we were countries we were mostly tribes ruling cities, for example take Yemen, there were 10 tribes ruling the area today called Yemen, so there are a lot of differences in religion, cultures, tribes, language and history, the things houthis are trying to do in Yemen is to unite it under their rule, and how would they do that? Well... try to defend Palestine, and sadly most Yemeni's nowadays support them, all of us don't like israel here, and houthis knew how to use this point sadly, the only way to solve this from my point of view is to be an absoloute monarchy instead of democracy in Yemen right now, because absoloute monarchy proved to be the best options for Arabs, and democracy is a failure for us, because absoloute monarchy increase the nationalisim in Arab countries, leading in more stability and more trust to the government, thats why countries ruled by that system are always good, espicially in Arab world.
The map is wrong the Houthis don't operate in Aden or the Bab al Mandeb directly but they exist ~100 km to the north of the straight. They don't have ocean connections to the Indian ocean
Two different groups with totally conflicting views and ideas only get along, not because they like each other, they share a common enemy
I like the upgrade in editing
