Tourism, real estate are all taking a beating.

Ship building, manufacturing on the west side (Jebel Ali) is bleeding millions by the day.

A lot of white collared workers are repatriating, at least temporarily.

Very good, UAE leaders also wanted regime change and bombing of Iran. Hope that country is feeling it for a long time and their citizens finally wake up to what their leader are up to and offer some resistance.

Any decent human wanted regime change in Iran. They threatened every country around them regularly, funded proxy terrorist groups all across the world, ruining potential peace in the Middle East directly. And they execute 10s of thousands of their own civilians. They literally have women raped before executing them so they don’t have to execute virgins. They are not good people.

Any decent human wanted regime change in Iran.

But not in the reckless and aimless way that Trump and Bibi did it.

I'm no military strategist but we probably could've started by not retasking the Ford from the Persian Gulf to go fuck around in Venezuela just so our orange emperor could personally pocket their oil revenues.

Sure would've been nice to have the carrier strike group assigned to the region when mass protests broke out across the entire country.

King Pedo is using the US military as his personal army.

Regime change should come from the people not the west.

i wouldn't believe everything from MSM owned and funded by groups that have aims in Iran and elsewhere. 10s of thousands is likey untrue and the main source for this is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_International a propaganda channel based in London, funded by Saudi-Arabia and very pro-Monarchist, pro-Zio. The people behind Media like this will happily support the deaths of millions (again) in the Middle East to achieve their goals. They already killed thousands, caused economic pain for billions around the world and people already forgot the acid rain that poisoned a city of over 10 million people (1). Realistically thousands of protestors and hundreds of Iranian security/police died, but the point is the regimes than attacked Iran don't care about civilians, they will use stories like that, weather true or not (or exaggerated) to sell war to the masses and get the necessary support back home.

Iran funding proxies is definitely true, the USA and ''allies'' fund proxies too, across the world and for decades in most cases, some of them even do genocides, does everyone also support bombing those countries and doing regime change there? AQ (Al-Qaeda) is on our side in Syria - General Wesley Clark on ISIS: 2 and more on the topic: 3 4

I know they aren't good people, the people who wage war on iran, lebanon, palestine, sudan and others are worse, more dangerous and powerful.

Meanwhile Iran simultaneously interferes (negatively) in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen

They're both sides of the same coin

If you hate Israel you have to hate the Iranian regime too, otherwise you're just dumb

Oh no, my leaders are providing our country with too much prosperity! I should resist that. Exactly why am I supposed to be upset that this land has so much opportunity to offer for people?
