A few questions.

Why should an Alpha Male 2.0 who’s number one value is “control over all aspects of his life” put all their faith in American anti missile defenses? If those fail, Dubai will experience direct hits.

Do you still think this war will be over in day/weeks/maybe one month?

Once the war is over, do you believe Dubai will return to the pre war status quo? Iran has made capital flight from the GCC a key war goal.

Do you still recommend Dubai as a top flag based on what has transpired over the last month?

Assuming you are just trying to ride this out until it’s Paraguay time come April/May, do you plan to return to Dubai no matter what during October/November?

What are the main factors that will drive this decision?

I don't think Iran is directly targeting Dubai, if anything, just american military bases, which shouldn't even exist

I love ya, but literally every sentence in your comment is factually incorrect. And as I've been saying, you spending just 2-3 minutes with AI could have quickly corrected all of your inaccuracies, but since you didn't bother to do this, I'm operating under the assumption that you WANT to be scared about all this.

Regarding where you're wrong:

1. Alpha Male 2.0 number one value is not "control over all aspects of his life." That's what Alpha Male 1.0s want and I have no idea where you got that when it's the opposite of what I teach.

Alpha Male 2.0's number one value is happiness through freedom and redundancy.

2. The anti-missile defenses in the UAE are not American. They are UAE anti-missile defenses.

3. Every single day the number of drones/missiles launched at Dubai decreases and it's been almost a month. In the last 24 hours, not one missile was launched at Dubai specifically (the UAE, yes, and Abu Dhabi, yes, but not Dubai). A grand total of 9 drones were sent against the entire country (UAE) and maybe 2-3 of them were aimed at Dubai. Very easy to stop. Not worth even thinking about at this point.

The only issue here is that some Amazon shipments are taking a long time because of what's happening in the Straight of Hormuz. Not missiles.

4. I have never recommended Dubai as a top flag for most people and have said that most people shouldn't use Dubai as a flag.

In terms of me recommedning Dubai as a flag in the future, yes, I still recommend it to high-income men who leave the country during hot months. Dubai has proven its safe.

5. Of course I intend on returning to Dubai in October. Nothing is happening here and it's safe based on all the data that, once again, you could have asked AI within 2-3 minutes.

6. I expect this conflict to be over in a few weeks but that is not a prediction and I could be wrong. Trump is in big trouble with his popularity, which is his most important thing in life, so he's going to do as much as he can to end this quickly... most likely... but Trump is also stupid and irrational, so it's possible this war could last a long time.

That doesn't matter, because nothing is happening in Dubai right now and the war continuing means nothing continues to happen.

Ask yourself why you chose to not fact-check any of your false assumptions. That's the problem, not Dubai.

Can confirm, laying out on an open row of seats made those flights a breeze.

Once there though it was like no change. Restaurants and stores still packed. Traffic was a little lighter fortunately.

Regardless, UAE is arresting people for posting videos of damage even if it's not fake.

I say no thanks to police states.

Also what air defense does UAE produce domestically lol? They are a vassal state of the west and dependent upon said weapon systems.

I'm also willing to bet Caleb thought Iran would collapse in the first week of this conflict given his comments in the past about Iran

1. The USA and the UK are far worse police states than Dubai.

2. What air defense does UAE produce domestically?

HALCON SkyKnight

AL HARRIS X radar

Calidus AlDeraa

Calidus Damita

EDGE Interceptor UAVs and counter-drone systems

And many others.

3. I never said and never believed Iran would collapse in a week. I've always said Iran is a strong, smart country.

So once again, wrong across the board on everything you said.

Perplexity is pretty good as a check. 4 buildings damaged and the Fairmont Palm Hotel set on fire but open now. 3 killed and 100 injured in all of UAE! Is it a good time to buy property now?
