If Houthis convince themselves that the Saudi army is under such flawed leadership that it cannot mount an effective defence and that no external power will do enough to bail out that inept Saudi elite, then what stops the Houthis from expanding the ground war into Saudi Arabia?

Without Iran's help the Houthis would never have expanded with such success since 2008. But like Hamas, Houthis have their own distinct ideological origins and geopolitical, even irredentist, agendas. Is everyone sure Tehran can rein Houthis in if IRGC cuts a deal with Riyadh?

I still can't get over the fact that someone fat-fingered a doomsday message from the alert system in Hawaii, including the line "this is not a drill". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Ha...
A large-scale test of the warning system took place in Germany this morning, with sirens sounding across the country and warnings of a threat issued.

As a brown migrant living in the UK legally, this is precisely why there can be *no* compromise on the fundamental right of seeking asylum. Pretty quickly it’s anyone who ‘looks’ like an asylum seeker - ie brown or black - who is targeted. No one is safe from this.
If a lEgiTiMaTe dEbATe aBOut iMMigRaTioN leads to people turning up with pitchforks to demand credentials from every group of young non-white men arriving in town, you’d think even Labour MPs would start asking themselves if it’s really a legitimate debate

Indeed. Anyone who claims that Israel is the United States' 'closest ally' is basically instantly discrediting themselves. Our actual closest allies, at least before 2025, were very obviously the Five Eyes (FVEY) countries - the UK, Australia, New Zealand and, of course, obviously, Canada.
I don't know why I bother to keep saying this, but Israel is literally not even a treaty ally of the United States.

"If we find that civilized nations don’t put their captives to death, don’t destroy city and countryside, it is so because the intellect is more mixed into their practice of war and has taught them more potent means of applying violence than these raw expressions of instinct."
In light of the war with Iran escalating to targeting desalination plants, I've chosen to look at what Clausewitz wrote on the distinction (or lack thereof) between wars of civilized peoples and those of the "uncivilized." www.deadcarl.com/p/barbarity-...

I've been writing a series of short stories projecting what could happen in the near future if current technology simply continued in the dystopian direction they point to, and it's the third time reality catches up before I have published anything. I think I need to write faster…

Spain is always going to hamper playmaking for they opponent. When they combine that with efficiency (which is their perennial weakness) they are unbeatable. (One could argue that giving them an imaginary penalty helps on the efficiency part, but they still managed to score one out of 3 occasions)
Kind of annoying that the commentary team think all the French players suddenly lost form rather than Spain coming up with a system that neutralised them.
