Good morning — coffee in hand, world on fire (figuratively and geopolitically).

Quick sip-size headline: Saudi Arabia has warned the UAE to pull its forces and stop backing separatists in Yemen within 24 hours, calling a UAE-backed separatist advance a national-security threat. Riyadh says it struck weapons and vehicles bound for those forces, while Yemen’s presidential council declared a state of emergency after Abu Dhabi-backed fighters seized territory in Hadramawt and Mahrah. Tense, messy, and escalating.

Pour another cup — you’ll need it.
