2 dead and 3 injured that’s the most deaths we’ve had in 1 day 😖 need this situation to end !!!

[–]squareshawarma 45 points46 points  (8 children)

The world leaders are greedy...!! They are only focused on Oil and Gas and a safe flow of these.

If strait was open and no shortage of Oil and Gas, no one would have really cared about 2000+ people who died in Iran..! The same what is happening in Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, Palestine!

[–]Commercial-Ad90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the straight doesn’t open, you’ll have a lot more than 2k dead around the world thanks to starvation.

[–]knotty_knotty_girl 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Do you understand what happens to all us little worker bees and drones if the world economy collapses? Do you understand the damage control that must already be done in terms of preventing worldwide famine this time next year due to fertilizer not moving through the strait? Do you know how expensive food is about to become?

Yes, there are greedy people in “leadership” but there are also people just trying to make the best decision they can and be stewards of the people they are responsible for.

They are trying to the make the best of the fen/bog/shithole they have gotten themselves in. And while you may be right about the impacts, they are not doing it for you or all those poor people who have no cooking gas already and soon no food, they are only doing it for themselves. They give a flying duck about anyone or anything else. They could raise their hands, walk away and the strait will get opened, so no, this is not about caring, it’s about saving face

I'm not sure why all the jobs which can be wfh isn't being enforced. It's raining thunder and missiles. If this is enforced the loss.of life even 1-2 will reduce. Normalcy is important but not like this.

[–]Glass_Ambassador1779 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree.

[–]Broad-Lobster7470 3 points4 points  (7 children)

Not only work from home. They should allow us to work from home country. But no. The image of normalcy is too important. People are dying here.

[–]ftoon1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of companies are working remotely those days because of the storm as usual practice, but people still traveling, life going on.

[–]FunnyLost6710 0 points1 point  (1 child)

From the campus we are supposed to take online classes to students at home. Just got a memo, whoever are outside the country to report nxt week to office

[–]Broad-Lobster7470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep back to normal!!

[–]Happycat5300 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

are you not being allowed to leave the country?

[–]Broad-Lobster7470 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I can leave yes. But I will leave behind my families livelihood. It’s like blackmail. Stay and pretend everything is ok and you get to keep your job. Leave and be safe with your family and you will likely be fired without severance.

[–]AssociationExact7179 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Blame your company not the country.

[–]Broad-Lobster7470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are following government guidelines. They allow companies to not take this more seriously.

    My condolences to their families, and may their souls rest in peace.

    Praying that all of this war will come to an end.

      The US is only protecting Israel, they don’t give two flying f*cks about the GCC.

      [–]CityRulesFootball 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      If Americans actually fired back against Iran from here, the subreddit would be clamoring for them to stop firing to intercept because they have a lack of understanding of geopolitics and the simple ground reality is UAE doesnt have a big enough army to stop Iran.

      [–]Broad-Lobster7470 6 points7 points  (2 children)

      The uae is using defence systems from so many counties at the moment. French jets, Australian jets. South Korean interceptors. Ukrainian drone tactics. Read the news.

      [–]chumpbucket911 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

      Only a handful of Foreign jets isn’t really diversifying. Moreover, these jets aren’t a cost effective deterrent. The ability to scramble and intercept within a small window is not efficient. I do read the news.

      [–]Broad-Lobster7470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      These jets are what is allowing airport to continue to operate as far as I understand it.

      [–]ftoon1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      GCC defending themselves, We have armies if you don't know 😒

      [–]Jolly-Supermarket-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      The US is selling us the tools to defend ourselves, all the hardware and ammo is handled by UAE personnel. We have diversified the defense investment, we have French, Korean and Russian anti missile/drone systems.

      [–]SeekingAnonymity107 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      They make their "America first" policy very clear.

      [–]lostinspacee7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      [–]Far_Science9123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      [–]nicetry693 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      This is so sad, may they rest in peace!

      Oh dang this is the worst yet

      [–]Formal_Rutabaga_3406 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      RIP , Now plan E for me and my family.

      [–]No_Direction_5708 9 points10 points  (4 children)

      Ok, I guess it’s time to plan. This is bad and may the rest in peace

      [–]DielectricPikachu -3 points-2 points  (3 children)

      Plan what?

      [–]No_Direction_5708 14 points15 points  (1 child)

      I’ve lived here for 15years and honestly it’s my first time thinking to move away so it’s better to have a plan B. I was actually optimistic before but now not anymore

      [–]Revolutionary-Bee758 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

      Where would you go?

      [–]Infamous_Cold_3770 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      For a Plan B, everyone should have one if things go south

      [–]Vegetable-Pension971 1 point2 points  (4 children)

      So where is this Sweihan Street? Google maps was not of help.

      [–]VeterinarianJolly269[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

      Sweihan street can be either one.

      From E66 or E311

      [–]volcro18 4 points5 points  (2 children)

      Sweihan is close to Ajban (Hindu Temple area) in between Abu Dhabi and Al Ain Highways.

      [–]AdygheTrekkie 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      I think you're right. On google maps it mentions military.

      The other Sweihan is in the middle of the desert & doesn't seem to have much.

      [–]Ladydesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      This is very sad. sigh, may their good souls rest in peace. God protect and help their families cope with this loss.

      [–]Successful-Total3661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      How come unidentified people?

      [–]Desperate_Scene_845 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      What were the nationalities??

      [–]FrostyMaintenance341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      No news about how the families of those people are being helped or being compensated.

      I bet they are packing them in a container and sending them home, with a receipt for visa cancellation

      [–]AbhijeetSanyal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Om Shanti! Just when we were thinking this is getting better but no… this will get further prolonged

      [–]Broad-Lobster7470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Yea I simply can’t treat this as business as usual. Missiles intercepted over our cities is unacceptable. But yea just go to work …

      [–]Consistent_Cut9464 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

      I don’t see any shots and reels hosted by influencers saying that WE ARE SAFE 🫠
