[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=5) Don't ever do anything in Yemen. You'll be done for before you can take on anyone.

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=11) Read history carefully so you know how the world works.

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=15) How? Where do you stand next to Abraha or the Ottomans?

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=19) Or the Portuguese or the English? Stay away from it.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=23) It's a country with unique terrain, and its people have their own customs and traditions.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=29) That's it. No matter how much they differ, they unite against any outsider, whether that outsider is a neighbor or not.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=36) Stay away from Yemen. Stay away from them. Whoever comes near it gets burned.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=41) Then the Americans came out safely because of its terrain, its people, and its nature. Stay away.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=45) Read history. Don't cross anyone until you've read their history.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=49) What its own people can't handle. Don't get involved.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=54) We wanted to help Yemen when there was a revolution there. We paid a heavy price.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=59) Dearly. Since '61, Yemen was among the causes of the '67 defeat. Stay away from Yemen.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=66) Stay away from Yemen and sing its praises.

[1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=69) That's it. Mind your own business. I hope the message gets through and we understand.

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4mttr7VuQgt6/en/a-warning-against-intervention-in-yemen-and-lessons-from-its-history?t=74) Before disaster strikes someone already down. Crying won't help, nor will anything afterward.
