Timeline of Strategic Genius:

Wednesday: Trump against helping Saudis fight Houthis

Thursday: Gets a call from Crown Prince Salman, decides to join the fight

Mid-day Sunday: Trump calls off airstrikes right as they were about to begin, declines to help Saudis (again)

Trump Gets Caught in a Dilemma Over a Saudi Plea for Military Help

The president vacillated but decided on Sunday not to join Saudi Arabia, for now, in joint strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. But he also needs the kingdom’s cooperation in his war against Iran.

Trump ordered US to bomb Houthis on Sunday and then changed his mind. US is short on ammunition or is he worried of Houthis retaliation on Saudi oil facilities or he is keeping his powder dry for a bigger bombing campaign to come against Iran?
