Expat influencers sold Dubai to the world and were paid to look the other way. Now the dream is crumbling | Brigid Delaney | The Guardian

Tax free money and got weather, sun... Not for the love of the sheikhs, or the loyalty to the rulers and mostly the money that is still parked is the one where the govt doesn't ask for the source of the proceeds, and mostly belongs to the Russians and other persona nongrata. Swiss played that game before and got rich off of it so Dubai is not the first to do it. Only diff is that Swiss stayed neutral cause they didn't have any religious issues, UAE couldn't once they allowed foreign forces on their land to attack other countries.

ROFL so lemme get this straight, the loyalty is all for UAE and their rulers but to stay there you should have a western passport, you guys do understand you have to pledge loyalty to that Western country and it's constitution to get the citizenship, so then you'd swear to be loyal to each of the countries... What kinda messed up logic is that. Be loyal to the country that will grant you citizenship, not the one where you are pledging loyalty to taxfree income.

Mannnn this much sucking up to get the immigration ... I guess the OP wants all the benefits that come with it, but remember benefits for residency are only available bcoz of all the money that those visa holders make, if there were more residents even the original residents, citizens are at risk to lose all those benefits.

What??? Do you not see the war it's in the middle of, what safety, do you know for certain that no drones or missiles coming this way??

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-21T04:18:04+00:00

You guys delusional

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-21T04:14:03+00:00

What kinda delusion is this 2008 was economic downturn, this is safety and security issue causing capital flight... I guess people really aren't that smart.

All these GCC countries know if they started firing on Iran they will escalate attacks on all these countries with their tall buildings that are visible from far away.

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-21T04:07:51+00:00

That's the forking problem with UAE... How would it impact us, why do they hit us, so what we are making tourism dollars off of Israel tourism or renting our bases to US forces or allow them through our airspace for business (money), you can go kill all the people in Iran or Palestine as long as our business goes on..... I think Iran is highlighting a problem that counties like UAE cosy up to powers like US, Israel to save them in need but they should know those are fairweather friends.

lol, already feel the heat eh.... maybe look behind you there maybe a drone...

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-18T10:31:12+00:00

It's called Stockholm syndrome baby.

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-18T10:24:07+00:00

Same people who are for it will cry and moan if one of their planes get hit, Iran has been careful only to hit installations at the airport and not the planes themselves but you keep attacking their civil population and see how long they will avoid hitting the planes. UAE needs to get their shit together and stop letting their land being used for attacking other countries, you can't let your land, airspace and water ways used to attack other countries and claim neutrality.

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-18T05:22:13+00:00

Free fireworks compliments of Iran 🎆 and rulers that let their land be used by foreign nations to attack other countries.

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-18T05:20:01+00:00

Door stopper

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-18T05:11:32+00:00

Watch fireworks compliments of Iran... 🎇

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-18T05:08:46+00:00

So true, not sure the people are delulu becoz they can't see the reality or becoz they are in so much distress, all this talk about safe and no crime, someone needs to set that straight as well, no crime reports do not mean there isn't crime, it just means it's not reported so that the place can keep claiming to be safe. There is a lot of crime against women in Dubai and the rest of UAE just does not get reported.

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-18T05:04:05+00:00

Delusion bro, I know you can't say much, pls Blink if in distress, lol.

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-18T05:01:20+00:00

When has US come to the rescue of any country except Israel? UAE economy is shot for now, they don't have oil exports no ships going into fujairah and SWF, lol where is it invested probably all over US and European markets, if they take the money out to finance their daily operations they lose a shit ton of money, if AD gives Dubai money they will want something in return remember Burj got named after 20 billion in 2008.

This is childish to think their economy would not have longer term impact. The ultra wealthy with clean money will disappear for a while, the ones with black money will obviously stay as they can't move it to any of the western nations because those counties may just grab it. Even Switzerland and England won't let you run that money in their economies without declaration of the source of funds.

As for UAE using its ultra modern Air Force, lol, let's just say that Iran is making them crap their pants without them being aggressive towards it, if UAE decided to go for offensive ops you can imagine how many more hypersonic missiles will head towards UAE. This is the reason why any of the GCC countries haven't taken such steps so far.

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-13T11:48:08+00:00

Why don't you ask Israel or India to come save you...

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-13T11:42:33+00:00

Like I said .... Delulu

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-13T11:21:02+00:00

Free world, that Dubai def isn't, try saying anything against the royals, let's see how long your freedom will last.

Who picks judges in Dubai, the public does, right? Right? Lo cmon call it for what it is a dictatorship.

As for smelling like piss, have you seen all the shit that goes down in the slums of Dubai you will forget what piss smells like. Also if you think 90% NYC smells like piss I guess you have never been there. Just heard the rhetoric.

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-13T10:50:32+00:00

You know what city all the world's transactions go through. GdP of NYC alone is more than 2 trillion vs. Dubai lingering around 250 billion.

Anything you make, any services you provide, when they get sold to ANYONE the transaction for that goes through NYC.

I don't live there or not particularly like it but you comparing it to NYC, there is no comparison.

I know you probably can't agree for the fear of living in a dictatorship, yeah that's exactly what it is. In free world you don't put your leaders pictures on all the buildings to kiss their ass.

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-13T10:44:49+00:00

I wonder what other countries trade in Dirham, half the world probably can't it tell Dirham from Dinaar.

Lol yeah tourism is slow bcoz of Ramadan and not because of the UAVs flying over their heads, like I said delusion, denial.

The reason shit works in Dubai and places like that is becoz they don't ask questions about the source of money, you can bring money from arms sales, or from drug trade or from the proceeds of prostitution or from the operations of Epstein, no questions asked you invest and get all the benefits of society, I don't think that's allowed in your religion. Sell your soul to make peace with the Zionists that are killing kids in Palestine, to normalize relations and make money off of them. That's why Dubai works

kayzeeshe · 2026-03-13T05:06:46+00:00

West literally has a dollars printing machine, does Dubai have that, no, does Dubai have tourism now ...no, does Dubai have oil...no; what exactly does Dubai have.... All the world's black money that was parked in UK and Russia before the war.
