What is Geopolitical Report Two Minute Drill With Corey Stutte?
In the Geopolitical Report Two Minute Drill, Corey Stutte shares his insights on some of the day's most important geopolitical issues.
Hi, Corey Stutte here for today's Two
Minute Drill where I'll be discussing
a couple of today's questions that
were submitted by our subscribers.
The first question on today's
agenda is how significant were
Israeli airstrikes overnight in
degrading Houthi forces in Yemen.
Well, if you didn't see the news Israel
conducted airstrikes against Houthi ports.
As well as power stations.
And Houthi control areas of Yemen?
These were significant because
this is only the third time that
Israel has conducted strikes against
the Houthi rebels in the country.
This comes after Houthi
forces launched missiles at.
Israel.
And this was Israel's response.
Now Iran a is saying that this
is a violation of international
law, which probably shouldn't
be a surprise to anyone.
But this probably didn't significantly
impact Houthi readiness or
anything like that within the
Red Sea or the Gulf of Aden area.
That being said Houthi rebels did say
that there were nine casualties in
the strikes and they really pointed
to those being civilian casualties.
Which of course Israel says were not.
Moving onto the second question.
Are we seeing more Turkish
movement the Kobani area during
the ceasefire in Northern Syria.
As you might know, there's been a lot of
discussion over the past few days about
Turkish forces and Turkish backed forces,
moving closer to the border of Syria.
We have seen more drone strikes
in those areas while there has
been an ongoing ceasefire there.
Us forces had diplomatically tried to
establish a ceasefire there but have
really been unsuccessful in doing so.
And we continue to see Turkish
forces launching strikes
into these SDF held areas.
Which will probably continue
on for the near future.
In other parts of Syria, we're
continuing to see protests.
We saw some protests against
Turkish forces in the north,
up in the Qamishli area.
And we also saw protests in
Damascus for women's rights.
And so that's important to
note, as we start to see this
transition of government.
In Syria, it's important to pay
attention to all these little
things going on throughout Syria.
To better understand what might actually
transpire and how things might unfold.
So that's all that I have
today for the Two Minute Drill.
