P389
Turkey will join Saudi Arabia in a multinational coalition against the Houthis in Yemen, since Saudi Arabia cannot defend itself against them alone.

What Jiang said

“I think like in a short term uh this alliance means a multicultural sorry a multinational coalition against the Houthis... they're trying to bring in uh Turkey.”

Analysis
