The Houthis Are Winning & AI Is Making Them More Dangerous | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS

from The Team House · host dee takos

We break down the Houthis’ advances toward the Bab al-Mandab, the growing pressure on Saudi oil exports, and new reporting that Houthi forces used Claude to help develop and test ballistic missiles. We also discuss the Haaretz report alleging Netanyahu was warned before October 7, the proposed Trump development in Tbilisi and its Russia ties, and signs that Ukraine may be regaining the initiative around Lyman.Support the show on Patreon:⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseJack's news outlet:⬇️https://thehighside.substack.com/Find Jon Hackett here:⬇️Jon's Twitter:https://x.com/jonathanhackettJon's LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejonathanhackettJon's books:https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0C5L659N5?ccs_id=e11a2062-f8d3-498e-bfd7-7d2f3869caf6Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejonathanhackettTwitter: https://x.com/jonathanhackettCheck out Mick's new podcast here:⬇️Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/pub-and-porch-applied-stoicism/id1836955475Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1k3QPmkAMwnGJxMLDwUSSd?si=n6piIu8XRcag1Z0K43A3bQYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@UCd0Hq6QFk8CoTu5j-VU0Ong Find Mick Mulroy here: Fogbow ⬇️https://fogbow.com/Lobo Institute ⬇️https://www.loboinstitute.org/Twitter ⬇️https://x.com/mickmulroy?s=21&t=-Ze3F_Ix2vlJ18KFvORTCALinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-patrick-mulroy-31198b52/Whitefish security summit ⬇️https://whitefishsecuritysummit.comFind Marc P here:https://x.com/MpolymerFind Andy Milburn here: Twitter ⬇️https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fandymilburn8LinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmilburn2023Substack ⬇️https://amilburn.substack.com/Andy’s book ⬇️https://www.amazon.com/When-Tempest-Gathers-Mogadishu-Operations00:00 – Start05:34 – Houthis Advance Toward the Bab al-Mandab07:02 – Why the U.S. Isn’t Backing Saudi Arabia the Same Way09:02 – Hormuz, Oil Exports & Saudi Arabia’s Growing Problems10:15 – How the Anti-Houthi Coalition Fell Apart12:30 – Why the Houthis See an Opening Right Now14:29 – The Houthis Are More Capable Than People Think17:09 – From 30,000 Fighters to 300,000+18:23 – What Control of the Bab al-Mandab Gives the Houthis19:41 – Who Could Actually Reopen the Strait?22:35 – Saudi Arabia’s Oil Bypasses Are Being Squeezed24:16 – Is This a Coordinated Iranian Campaign?27:11 – Why Airstrikes Alone Won’t Solve the Houthi Problem30:25 – Are Gulf States Turning Toward Iran Instead of Washington?31:55 – MBS Asks Trump for U.S. Strikes on the Houthis35:16 – Is Yemen Heading Toward Permanent Partition?36:00 – Houthis Used Claude to Develop Ballistic Missiles38:26 – China’s Role in Arming the Houthis40:09 – AI Inside the Houthi Missile Development Loop42:35 – Can AI Make Weapons Proliferation Impossible to Stop?45:54 – Using AI to Evade Export Controls & Sanctions46:50 – Haaretz Bombshell: Was Netanyahu Warned Before Oct. 7?49:02 – Israeli Intelligence Failures Before the Hamas Attack52:06 – Why This Story Is Exploding Before Israel’s Election54:51 – Trump Tower Tbilisi & Georgia’s Russia Problem56:46 – Is There Any Economic Case for the Project?59:08 – Why Trump’s Georgia Deal Is Politically Explosive1:00:13 – Ukraine Regains the Initiative Around Lyman1:02:05 – Closing Thoughts1:02:35 – Andy’s New Book & Hannibal Directive Chapter1:03:56 – Best War Movies Next?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
