And so the Trump administration designated his entire organization on its way out the door in January 2021. And the Biden administration came in. It's one of the first things it did was delist the entities, which absolutely made no sense.

Part of it, I think, was a finger in the eye to the Trump administration as well. It did like that the Trump administration listed them on its way out the door. One of the Trump administration's first things it did when it took office two months ago was, or actually did it last month, was to relist the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization, as it should have been.

Yeah, they've bounded the status of terrorist organization. It controls the apparatuses of the state. It has a military. Its military has to have over 100,000 fighters. We could call them soldiers in the organization. I much view it like You know, like the Taliban, we don't want to recognize the Taliban as being the government of Afghanistan, but they're the de facto government of Afghanistan.

It possesses a military hardware. It's running ministries. It's provided limited but services. It's providing the services. It's really the Houthis are a terrorist state, just as the Taliban is a terrorist state.

That's absolutely correct. And I do believe that that was another reason the Biden administration delisted the Houthis, because of animosity with the Saudis over the Saudis, how it was fighting the Houthis. That was a major mistake by the U.S. It caused serious rifts. And look, I have my issues with the Saudi government.

So over the last week, the US military has launched airstrikes against the Houthis. They're targeting... So the Biden administration did this, but in a limited capacity. It was primarily fighting a defensive war against the Houthis, used up a lot of air defense. But what they were doing was targeting... which you have to target things, military hardware.
