If you stand with the UAE- REPOST now. Share the picture.Stand against the Islamic regime in Iran. Stand with humanity. Stand with civilization against darkness, against backwardness. Choose your side. Silence is not neutral.

[Jesús Enrique Rosas @Knesix]

Imagine, if you will, the Middle East as a neighborhood.

On one side of the street, you’ve got the United Arab Emirates. The UAE is that guy who used to live in a tent but won the literal geological lottery and decided, instead of buying a fleet of gold-plated jet skis and retiring, he was going to build a cyberpunk forest in the middle of a literal furnace.

The UAE is what happens when a country looks at a desolate, 120-degree sand dune and says, “You know what this needs? A climate-controlled indoor ski resort and a branch of the Louvre.”

They’ve basically speed-run three hundred years of Western development in about forty. They’ve got high-speed rail, Mars probes, and a vibe that says, "We’ve decided that having a functioning economy is more fun than shouting at clouds."

Then, you’ve got Iran.

Iran is the neighbor who lives in a house where the plumbing hasn’t worked since 1979, but they refuse to call a plumber because they’re convinced the plumber is a CIA plant sent to steal their spiritual purity.

Iran is governed by a group of guys whose primary policy platform is "Being Extremely Grumpy About Everything." They’ve spent forty years trying to convince the world that the pinnacle of human achievement is a very specific type of frown and a centrifuge that occasionally makes scary noises.

Iran isn't hitting the UAE because they’re neighbors. They’re hitting them because the UAE is a walking, talking existential crisis for the Ayatollah.

See, the Islamic Republic’s entire brand is built on a single, desperate lie: “You can either be a good Muslim, or you can have nice things. You can’t have both because the nice things are poisoned by the Great Satan.”

Then the UAE shows up, sipping an iced latte, signing the Abraham Accords with Israel, and partnering with Washington. They’re proof that you can keep the faith, keep the culture, and still participate in the "Western Civilizational Package" without the universe exploding.

To Tehran, the UAE is a giant, neon-lit middle finger. Every time a new tech startup opens in Dubai, an Angel gets its wings and a Mullah loses his mind.

Iran looks at the UAE and sees a glitch in the Matrix. It’s an extension of the Western order, that place where "openness" isn't a dirty word, and "integration" isn't a conspiracy.

Because if an Arab Muslim state can be successful, modern, and friendly with the West, then the last forty years of Iranian "revolutionary" suffering have been a pointless, self-inflicted wound.

And nothing stings more than watching your neighbor throw a block party with the people you’ve spent your whole life telling everyone are "monsters."

Iran isn't just fighting a war over borders or oil. They’re fighting a war against the terrifying possibility that people actually like air conditioning and international trade more than they like miserable, state-mandated martyrdom.

The UAE is the living, breathing proof that Iran’s founding ideology is just a very expensive, very depressing hobby.

So yeah, Tehran strikes. Because when you’ve built your entire identity on being the "Alternative to the West," nothing is more dangerous than the guy next door who just figured out how to be the best version of it.

Is anyone else tired of the know-it-all Carragher selling out the club that made a nothing player into who he is, just for @SkySports clout?

Yeah, Jamie, LFC aren’t in a good moment, but they won the league last year. You can spend a few more years trusting the leadership like Keane did with Man United before playing the angry critic card.

Emirates resumes operations

Emirates will resume operations. Passengers who have confirmed bookings for this afternoon’s flights may proceed to the airport. This includes customers transiting in Dubai, if their connecting flight is also operating.

Customers can check the flight schedule for upcoming flights, as well as book seats to travel via https://t.co/K4Fcp37GYR.

Emirates continues to monitor the situation, and we will develop our operational schedule accordingly.

We would like to thank our customers for their understanding and patience. The safety of our passengers and crew is our highest priority and will not be compromised.

@ForbesCrypto Why does a centralised private payment service need a blockchain?
