Fair point. One of the reasons I chose the Spanish Civil War model was to do with it being a prelude to the global war that followed it. The action in FY seems to have precluded a follow on large fight. (Alternate view: just delayed it, awaiting Vlad and his latest efforts to restore his version of the good old days).
This thing in Yemen may be like the Spanish example in setting up something larger as a follow on if this proxy fight within Yemen gets certain sides going after each other in places further afield.
Hopefully, it won't.
