    The Great Dichotomy:

    Cozying up to the Chinese who are allies with the Russians who are butt buddies with the Iranians who are sugar daddies of the Houthies.

    Summary of the Israeli strike according to what is known so far:

    - Approximately 25 F-15 and F-35 aircraft, accompanied by refueling planes, flew about 2000 kilometers toward the city of Hodeidah in Yemen.

    - The strike was carried out in 8 waves.

    - The attack destroyed fuel depots, inflicted damage on the port, and destroyed a power station north of the port.

    - The fire is still burning and is expected to continue for several more days.

    - There is a power outage across the entire region.

    - The message of the strike is clear: this is not a strike on military targets (which has been done by the coalition over the past 9 months) but an attack on the already struggling Yemeni economy, causing significant economic damage.

    - The attack on the port is a direct response to the damage Yemenis have caused to the port of Eilat.

    - The message to the rest of the Middle East is also clear: the Bandar Abbas port and the Kharg Island, from where most of Iran's oil is exported, are in Israel's sights, as well as the port of Beirut.

    - Israel has decided to take off the gloves; this is not a minor strike like those in Iran.

    - The Houthis are threatening to retaliate, but it is unclear what the threat entails, as they have already attacked Israel 200 times.
