Yemen branded 'empire's new graveyard' as US weapons fail

Original: YEMEN: EMPIRE’S NEW GRAVEYARD: Why $1 Trillion in US Weapons Failed Against a Mountain Militia

Commentary from analyst Andreas Krieg argues that roughly a trillion dollars' worth of American military hardware has failed to subdue the Houthi movement in Yemen, calling the country 'empire's new graveyard'. The piece frames the mountainous, battle-hardened militia as proof that air power and expensive munitions cannot defeat an insurgency with local support, drawing comparisons with earlier foreign interventions in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

Why now: Ongoing US strikes against the Houthis in the Red Sea conflict have renewed debate over the effectiveness of American military power in Yemen.
