Who is going to "crush the Houthis" Steve? And how? You have a misplaced confidence in the abilities and capabilities of Western militaries.
Donald Trump, if elected.
How? There is no Western capability of destroying the Yemeni Armed Forces nor of stopping them blockading Israeli and US/UK shipping in the Red sea and blockading, to an extent, Israel. Spell out how any coalition of Western militaries will defeat Ansar Allah. All those mountainous regions that they would have to subdue and occupy where Ansar Allah are well dug in and willing to defend with their lives. Well armed with missiles and weapons buried deep and impenetrable to western blind bombing rages.
The west tried for years, via the Saudis and UAE to defeat Ansar Allah and instal their puppet, Hadi. Despite hundreds of thousands of murdered civilians and a humanitarian crisis described as the largest "man made" humanitarian disaster worldwide by the UN, Ansar Allah are unmoved and the Saudis et al were forced to negotiate once the Yemenis attacked vital oil refinery infrastructure. That message made clear that Ansar Allah possessed the capability to destroy the West economically.
As pointed out previously, Steve, military conflict is not a game of Top Trumps. Where, what the aims of that conflict are and what capabilities to carry out/prevent those aims dictate the trajectory, not how many tanks, warships and planes each side possess. Horses for courses applies everywhere.
The "Collective West" have no capability to prevent the Yemeni Armed Forces blockading Israel.
