How the Kremlin Turned Yemen into a Ukrainian Guest List
Picture this: the Kremlin is holding a soldier buffet and topping it off with a generous portion of “high salaries” pulled straight from the coffers of Iran‑backed Yemenites. Yep, that’s how the latest scoop read – hundreds of Yemeni mercenaries are being drafted into Russia’s ranks to fight inside Ukraine.
The Promise That Don’t Bet On
- Lucrative jobs lined up for the Yemenites—so much so that they’re guaranteed a slice of Russian citizenship alongside the paycheck.
- The deal? “You’ll get the cash, your name on paperwork, and a spot on the battlefield.”
From Yemen to the Frontlines… in a Sneaky Shuffle
A Houthi‑linked company supposedly slipped them across borders in a “shadowy trafficking operation.” Think of it as a clandestine party where the RSVP is “hire” instead of “attend.” From there, the recruits were force‑fully inducted into the Russian army and shipped straight to the front in Ukraine.
The Backstage Pass to Red Sea Mayhem
Tim Lenderking, the US special envoy for Yemen, spilled the tea: Moscow is actively courting the Houthis, discussing weapons that could let them aim for ships in the Red Sea—and maybe even further on the globe. The kind of firepower on the table is very alarming.
In short: Moscow’s got the Yemenis, they’ve got the paycheck, the military’s got the frontlines, and the Houthis… well, they’re probably planning their next big move in the region.
