Suspected Drone Attack In Abu Dhabi Causes Fire, Kills Three!

[TekNiKo]

I meant that I read somewhere that the UAE is trying to slowly pull out of the chaos that is Yemen but this Houthi drone strike in Abu Dhabi might make them reconsider that option. They might intensify their actions in Yemen because of this.

They still fund mercenaries that attack them, thats all bs cause Joe Biden made them leave overtly.

Well, it makes some sense if the Houthis did this cos when they threatened attacks on the UAE in 2020 the UAE did start to withdraw and then, when more threats were made, fully withdrew. They've also spent a lot of money on buying air defense systems (like from Israel) and developing their own.

So they're genuinely scared of Houthi attacks and attacking them or threatening to has proven a good detterent. It may even serve to make them fully give up on their machinations in the Gulf of Aden like supporting the Southern Transitional Council and maintaining bases in places like Yemen, Socotra, the Bab al-Mandeb and Berbera.

The UAE lives on tourism and trade nowadays (not oil) and thus their lifeblood is the security they promise ajanabis staying and trading here. The second that security begins to breakdown and the UAE sounds like just another Middle-Eastern bombing site it could mean curtains for these saaxiibs' economy.

Alright, it all makes sense now. I guess it remains to be seen just how the UAE responds to this.

So they've already left Yemen?

Troops wise, I think so. But they still meddle in the region big time and fight via mercenaries. They have bases in Socotra and just off the coast on some island along the Bab al-Mandeb strait as well. Think they even have a base in Aden? They also bankroll the people who run that city and the STC down there. It's basically their city at this point, from what I grasp.

Brother @AMusee made a very illuminating thread here:
