Kristina Rus — The Yemeni puzzle in the Russian-American stand-off


More about geopolitics and geostrategy in MENA rather than Yemen. This is a very complicated region with a long history and tentacles extending beyond the region, e.g., involving Russia, the rest of Eurasia, and even China. Throw the US into the mix and thing get even more complex and uncertain owing to emergence of unforeseen challenges due to entangled interests that are sometimes even contradictory for some of the players. Juggling with knives.

And, of course, with oil in the background.

    What do you think of Paul Craig Roberts suggestion that Yemen is bait for Iran?

    Wouldn't America/Israel be happy if the locals fought each other down to the last man?
