Even figures close to the Abu Dhabi regime, like Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, are now forced to publicly admit the truth:
the grand defense pacts praised by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and their allies are nothing more than empty slogans.
Facing the steadfast posture of Ansarullah and the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab, these multi-nation coalitions have proven entirely paralyzed and confused.
The reality of the Persian Gulf monarchies is clear: despite spending hundreds of billions on foreign arms, these regimes remain fundamentally weak. They are incapable of projecting military force or defending their strategic interests without direct backing, command, and operational support from Washington and Tel Aviv. When forced to act independently, their political and security structures unravel.
While the coalition relies on foreign superpowers for protection, Ansarullah has demonstrated true sovereign decision-making, resilience, and military competence on the ground and at sea. The crisis in the Red Sea has permanently exposed that regional alliances built on dependency cannot stand against genuine domestic resolve.
