I agree with you - Turkey entering Yemen war now would be suicide, primarily because its so late...or would TUrkey come in AS A PROXY OF ANOTHER FORCE(again)??? NATO and US have been sending TUrkey on ME "missions" that TUrkey has been doing...in Iraq and SYria...must be watched.Literally everyone from Blackwater to Sudan, Egypt and others have sent their fighters to Yemen without much success. I don't see the Turkish militants performing well unless they have massive air support via Turkish drones. However I don't know if that will make a difference since the Saudi airforce pretty much has free reign over Yemeni skies already anyways.
Another thing to consider is that the militants that went to Nagorno-Karabakh basically had to be tricked into going, not knowing that it was an active warzone. Realistically $2000-$4000 a day is peanuts for a skilled mercenary. In Afghanistan American mercenaries get as much as $1000 a day. So if the Sultan Murad guys are doing it just for the money then its not worth it is it ? I mean what good is money if you're dead ?
I just have to say, when it comes to building asymmetrical Islamic forces, Iran couldnt have gotten a better gift than Houthis in Yemen. The impact of this gift will show in some years, or pretty soon, because its that huge and strategic- Based on the relatively cheap investment, Iran has gotten a strong foothold on the Arabian peninsula, right next to KSA...HEzbollah is still in a geographically small region over there in Lebanon, but the area that Houthis control in easier-to-defend-yourself mountainous Yemen is very large plus the strategic location of Yemen being right next to the Bab al mandeb and Persian Gulf region..this could be the makings of a Shiite-ruled state on the Arabian peninsula, i see it as having huge ramifications for the region.
