Robert Barnes: Yemen Strikes Saudi Airport and Air Base After Sana'a Bombing

This interview breaks down the escalating Middle East conflict, from Houthi retaliation against Saudi Arabia to broader US-Iran tensions. We analyze the severe economic risks of prolonged warfare, including disrupted oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, surging global energy prices, and critical helium shortages threatening the US tech sector. The discussion highlights the dangers of current US foreign policy, warning that continued escalation jeopardizes the global economy while failing to break Iran’s resilience. We also examine shifting geopolitical alliances, with Gulf states increasingly pivoting toward Russia and China, and the declining influence of pro-war lobbies in Washington. A must-watch for understanding the true stakes of Middle East instability.
