“Iranian attacks on Dubai and the closure of its airport have triggered a scramble among the wealthy to leave the emirates via alternative routes on private jets.
“The normally glitzy city – a playground for billionaires, influencers and millions of international visitors – has been on edge since drones and missiles fired in response to US and Israel strikes on Iran damaged the airport and struck several high-profile hotels and landmarks.”

Funny how quickly it’s exposed as a hollow city with no real population and culture.
Saudi Arabia, Dubai, UAE, all those who play nice with us just want money. We’re a big piggy bank to break open on occasion to them.
Fuck all of them. If you give dubai money by going there on vacation, you deserve all of this.
Fuck Dubai
Fuck the rich. Glass Dubai.
This is TERRIBLE now that RICH People are Effected!
*affected.
effectively affected
There really is an xkcd for everything 😂
Won’t some targeting system please think of the rich.
this war is so fuckin stupid, but this does bring a smile to my face.
Seriously, if Dubai gets razed to the ground, nothing not value would be lost. Dubia is a collection of luxury cars, private jets, billionaire babies and luxury items, and basically nothing more
They have basically an entire caste system of lower-class migrant workers or indentured servants of a sorts populating large swaths of the region, and they’re the only ones who can’t afford private flights out of the city, so guess who’s going to die when the missiles rain down.
It sure as shit ain’t going to be Saudi princes.
I’ve had it explained by Middle Eastern businessmen that I’ve worked with. The workers are either Indian or Filipino. One of them is significantly better, but they are also more expensive. They sign contracts, and have to work long hours and stay cooped up in tight fitting bunks, like on a ship. It’s a pretty awful existence for little money.
Those rich Dubai kids aren’t going to do those jobs.
I’ve had connections to people who did that kind of work also, they tell a lot of stories about people who have their passports or other vital documentation or cash savings confiscated on arriving and then they’re not allowed to leave and forced to work long hours or not get paid. These are often people from poor families or with little means to get out on their own.
sounds like a great opportunity to rise up and make sure those flights never land…
Shame if a few got shot down.
LadyButterfly usually posts the good news around here but glad too see others are Inspired to do so.
Hmmm, Dubai is going to get bombed to rubble, as Kushner builds Gaza into the Jewish Dubai, and takes all that money that Dubai is losing.
