It just can&#x27;t catch a break. MBS would sooner see it burn to the ground before admitting he screwed up his decision to invade. He&#x27;s set on devaluing the currency to the point of economic starvation. For the Houthis it&#x27;s existential - they&#x27;ll never accept going back to how it was before.<p>And the youth get sick and go hungry.

This was a retaliatory strike in response to an attack by Houthis on UAE.<p>Recent info about what&#x27;s going on:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.longwarjournal.org&#x2F;archives&#x2F;2022&#x2F;01&#x2F;houthis-launch-aerial-attack-against-uae-capital-abu-dhabi.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.longwarjournal.org&#x2F;archives&#x2F;2022&#x2F;01&#x2F;houthis-laun...</a>

I would say that the importance and need for reliable two-way satellite IP data as a backup for essential comms (wheter geostationary based, iridium, inmarsat, and soon starlink) is directly proportional to how bad the political situation is in a country.<p>Somewhere with an active civil war such as Yemen or Ethiopia, would rank towards the highest end of the scale.

&gt; The incident comes amid reports of an airstrike on a telecom hub<p>It seems deliberate. Easier to wage war without atrocity videos leaking out.
