So Fishbone quoted the PM and pointed out that it is unlikely that he has changed his position significantly. How is that being a echo-chamber, seems more like speaking out about a justified concern.
If the US got called into quelling the various African wars, the A-10 and other CAS aircraft would be busy and at most face a Manpad threat from the ground. COIN is not currently on the menu, but could easily be back on with the change in political needs.
I think now would be a good time to put some civilian experts onto the issue of how long does it last in exposed conditions and what might be the best way to retrieve it. Apparently the price of fiberoptic cable is skyrocketing...
Tomorrow may be to late to protect those field for potentiel future agricultural use. I am thinking aerial drones with grapples to recover/collect the fibre optic to a safe point, where it can be reeled in onto a collection drum. As the battlefield shifts, clearing teams will be needed.
A whole crapload of research and trials to figure out how to recover most of that fibreoptic cable in a area full of mine/UEO and what is the effect on the environment and how fast will it break down.
That's the rub, if you are asking for protection money, you kind of need to deliver.
The US also needs to quietly bang KSA and UAE heads together and say: "Sort out your squabble in Yemen and form a united front to squeeze the Houthis.
It is really in the interest of the world to fix Yemen and squeeze the Houthi back into their little enclave in the mountains. It does not help that KSA and UAE started a proxy war against each other there, just before the Iranian conflict kicked off. KSA and UAE need to be told to sort out...
