This is what ignoring experts looks like.
Attacking an institute of science. This administration could not have orchestrated a better representation of itself.

‘The shine has been taken off’: Dubai faces existential threat as foreigners flee conflict
Dubai was always an economy built on a bubble. As much as I hate how they treat foreign laborers and as much as I hate their current leaders, I have some respect for how far they were able to get with this model.
But ultimately, they are a country with little land, little water, terrible weather, and surviving on a vast expat population that has no path to citizenship and will always just see it as a destination to milk for as much money as possible.
I don't see how such a model could ever be seen as sustainable in the long run.

I've lived in both and while the similarities are there, it's a bit different. Singapore still has a majority non expat population while Dubai has only about a 10% local population. Singapore also invests heavily in local education with one of the highest densities of PhDs in the world.

Unfortunate we have to face local blowback for a war no one but Israel wanted in a region that has nothing to do with us.

Trump says Israel attacked Iran's South Pars gas field without US and Qatari involvement
Then why were both US and Israeli officials saying they were doing it in coordination?

"The Israeli officials said the strike was coordinated with and approved by the Trump administration. A U.S. Defense official confirmed that."

Top US counterterrorism official Joe Kent resigns over Iran war
This took courage and we should celebrate this. I can already see people pointing fingers at him; that is worth doing eventually, but this is not the time for that.
Let's recognize good behavior and make sure we encourage more people to do the same.
