$95BN For Israel, Houthis Gear Up & Who Did This?

$95 Billion that congress doesn't want you to know about, the return of the Houthis and a bit of a head scratcher over some drones... Right, so Donald Trump is being handed a bill being talked about at roughly ninety-five billion dollars as the expected cost for backing Israel through a war with Iran, and the US Senate has just blocked an effort to curb his war powers, which is the neat procedural way of saying: the people who could have slowed this down have decided they won’t. At the same time, Yemen is signalling it’s back on the board – perhaps you’ve been wondering where the Houthis have been thusfar in all of this, with reports saying that Sanaa is now in a declared state of war and the timing of their first actions therefore is the question left hanging in the air right now, and when that switch flips, it won’t’ necessarily just hit one city, it will hit shipping lanes and energy flows, their warning having gone out not to Israel or the US, but to other Gulf states saying if they attack Iran, the Houthis will be coming after their oil and gas. And then you’ve got a third thread, staying with the oil and gas theme, but away from the Houthis.
