The main problem with Dubai, is since many people living there leave the fucking place when it's summer for 4-5 months to escape the heat, it'd be hard to make human connections there, as people are regularly leaving in sporadic time periods.
No scared bunny rabbits here, your audience just finds it strange that you can’t admit your own analysis was off.
You always advocate the “adjacent enemy rule”, but when rockets hit the city of your choice you say: “fuck that rule”, “you are all scared low T guys.. I am right, no people died, I look at casualties, not rockets etc.”
If I told 2020 Caleb that Dubai was receiving missiles from Iran in 2026, I’m sure you wouldn’t have picked Dubai. 🤷🏻♂️ (be honest with yourself)
You never expected rockets to land in Dubai, and you can’t admit that.
1. You speak for my entire audience? I suggest you go look at the comments over at YouTube where the majority of them agree with me. You are the one in the minority here.
2. Where have I ever said "fuck" the adjacent enemy rule? Link please.
3. Iran is also not adjacent to the UAE. I have not violated any of my rules.
4. "If I told 2020 Caleb that Dubai was receiving missiles from Iran in 2026, I’m sure you wouldn’t have picked Dubai. 🤷🏻♂️ (be honest with yourself) You never expected rockets to land in Dubai, and you can’t admit that."
Incorrect. I did a huge analysis on the UAE's anti-missile defenses back in 2020 when I was considering Dubai is my home because I was a little uncomfortable moving to the Middle East. I even discussed it in great detail with Andrew Henderson of Nomad Capitalist at the time - feel free to ask him and he'll verify this. After doing my research I figured that missiles being launched against Dubai from Iran was unlikely, but possible, but that the missiles defense the UAE had would be sufficient to protect Dubai because of the weak/old missiles Iran uses (most are more than 30 years old) and the high-tech Iron Dome-like protection the UAE had.
So, once again, your emotions have made your entire comment wrong across the board. Try relaxing your emotions and thinking rationally. I know it's hard.
I am emotionless. I live nor in the USA, nor in the UAE, so it's all far from my bed and I couldn't care less about this situation.
I am just trying to figure out how you look at this situation in hindsight with all the AM2.0 (or is it Caleb) rules in place.
Is this now 2% rule stuff that happened, is Dubai too close to hostile Iran or not (Okay, it's not connected, but there is only water in between), what were the concerns in 2020, are you bummed out or totally unbothered like you pretent to be.
Something feels off knowing your content. On the flipside it fits in being outcome independent, but I can't imagine you to be OI when rockets are falling on your city of choice. So unclear what to make out off your train of thought.
Rockets AREN'T falling on my city of choice. That's what you can't get into your brain.
If rockets were falling out of Dubai's skies and killing people and blowing up buildings, I would have already left (on Saturday) via Oman. Then I would have publicly admitted I was wrong about Dubai.
But I wasn't wrong about Dubai. It really is safe, like I thought it was. No one has died.
No one died, but the airport closed - limiting your freedom. The narrative in the city is also probably of "we're under attack" which I imagine to suck. To outsiders, this doesn't feel like the the happy and carefree lifestyle you advocate.
2. I can leave leave the UAE whenever I want, which has been true the entire time. I can drive to Oman (4 hour drive) and fly out of Muscat. No limit in freedom.
3. No one in Dubai is scared or even talking about "we're under attack". They were for about 3 days about a week ago, but not now.
So once again, you're wrong across the board, but it's clear you want to be anxious about this for some reason.
"UAE officials report an Asian driver was killed in Dubai when debris from a missile interception struck his vehicle."
Now that rockets and drones are "falling out of Dubai's skies and killing people and blowing up buildings..." (Caleb's words) did he bug out?
I don't think people in Caleb's audience need to prove him wrong, but at what point does his perspective change? Caleb probably has several contingency plans just for this scenario and I wish him the best. Everyone I know who left UAE recently can't wait to return when this all blows over, but they left for a good reason.
Personally, I think you can get just about all of the same perks of Dubai living in Panama, except of course for the proximity to Europe if that's important to you. Panama is an excellent no-tax, high freedom, low friction operational base for the Americas.
The purpose of this blog is to find better alternatives than the collapsing west and it's ok if things change over time - that is how the world works. Be flexible. Have plan b's c's d's. Be prepared and never get stuck.
Correct, after 8 full days of this conflict, ONE person in Dubai has finally died. One person. Out of 5 million people. I addressed that possibly in my first video about this. One person, or even two, three, four, or ten, dying about of 5 million still doesn't change my mind one iota about this. 2% Rule.
Now if 100 people or more start dying over and over again, then yeah, then I'm out of here, and I will have to admit I was wrong about Dubai.
But I'm not wrong, and the facts clearly show this. Averaging one death per week in Dubai, with the attacks getting smaller and smaller every day, I'm in really good shape here.
Panama is good but not my favorite. Their government is pure chaos (the diametric opposite to Dubai) and they handled the pandemic very, very poorly. But even Panama is less bad than the Collapsing USA, so sure.
They always question the facts, never question the media.
I'm going back to Dubai later this month to refresh my residency and yeah, my phone is blowing up too.

The airport is open. It's Qatar's airport that's closed.
