Saudi Pilot Shuts Down Houthi Dispute
Published 5 months ago
This footage, provided by a Saudi Arabian drone operator, shows a group of Houthi rebels fighting among themselves before an airstrike sorts them all out. Although the date of this incident isn’t known, an inset map reveals the location.
There’s a deeply philosophical lesson at work here. Whatever these guys were arguing about, it probably seemed of small issue around the time the missile hit the truck. I get the feeling this squad may not have fought one another, had they known that in just a few minutes they’d all fit in the same ashtray. I don’t suppose there’s anything quite like the prospect of shuffling off this mortal coil, violently and quickly at any given time, to make one reconsider how much time one should spend bickering.
On the other hand- they’re Houthis. If not each other, they were probably bound to make someone else’s day a pain. Problem solved.
