If that's true, it's insane that it worked. It should be obvious to not take orders from twitter. There's a chain of command for a reason and random people on social media are no part of it. Sounds like the opposition forces would have to be so stupid that any number of Looney Tunes style tricks would have worked. Maybe next they can send out a rabbit in a dress to make opposition fall in love with it.

Yep, the Commander In Chief only issues orders on Truth Social.

This belies a fundamental misunderstanding of Yemeni society. Arab political structure is based on tribal loyalty. Leaders of tribes pledge allegiance to other tribes or coalitions of tribes. They're not part of the same command structure because such a thing does not exist. Usually instead of being defeated tribal loyalties change with the political winds and tribe leaders neogtioate with other leaders. Twitter is also ubiquitous in Arabia and the natural place for political announcements.

The US President routinely announces policy decisions on social media…

You’d lose a lot of money always waiting for news through officials channels.

Who knows how slow Yemini military channels are.

You’d bet your life on it?

Twitter is huge in KSA. Much more significant a share than other countries. Something like 60% to 70% of the population are active users.

Donald duck lies every other minute, especially on Fridays it seems. Fog is a tactic of war and a way to make money I guess.
