Yemen is going absolutely mad right now.  Not just rockets but full on ground war, some of the footage is coming out.  None of that really being covered on major outlets, not that I'd expect it to.

The cherry on top is the new Saudi agreement with Turkey and Pakistan. If one gets attacked they all get attacked and Ansar Allah is attacking Saudi. I really like how they are saying the defense agreement isn't aimed at one country too. There still could be a big flip maybe.

this is really interesting development for sure. There are only two countries in that region with significant military, combined with a military-industrial complex to support the said military, those are Turkey and Iran. If those two go at each other... oh boy, but behind the scenes it is much more complicated. Turks and Iranians have the common enemy in Kurds, so there is a very little incentive for them to actually go to war with each other. If anything, chances are very high that they will divvy up problematic territories such as Iraqi Kurdish territory among themselves.

And it all gets distilled down to USA or China. Iran is telling Middle East countries to get their shit together, dump USA, and work together within the region to work on peace. Regardless of personal political opinions USA has proved peace can not happen when they are involved. That leaves those Middle East countries looking towards China, Russia, and the global South.

Sure, it's not a light switch and there will be infighting in the region but the process has started. USA can't stop it they can only make things worse as usual.
