Something definitely broken in Fetterman's brain https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2026748211914813850

I assume either Netanyahu or Miriam Adelson.

It turns out "idiocracy" is actually a documentary.

I've lived in both and while the similarities are there, it's a bit different. Singapore still has a majority non expat population while Dubai has only about a 10% local population. Singapore also invests heavily in local education with one of the highest densities of PhDs in the world.

For those of you not old enough to remember, this ("finish the job") was famously the same mantra used for the Gulf War when George Bush Sr didn't go after Saddam Hussain.

Well, his son took it to heart and went after Saddam a decade later in what is now universally seen as one of the stupidest wars the US every carried out.

It's like these people learn nothing from history.

No they are in the room with him and his rich friends. The ones who profited off his crypto scams and insider trading.

Except a lot less fun. That one at least had cool lights, cool buildings, and flying cars. We got rotting infrastructure and Teslas.

Dubai was always an economy built on a bubble. As much as I hate how they treat foreign laborers and as much as I hate their current leaders, I have some respect for how far they were able to get with this model.

But ultimately, they are a country with little land, little water, terrible weather, and surviving on a vast expat population that has no path to citizenship and will always just see it as a destination to milk for as much money as possible.

I don't see how such a model could ever be seen as sustainable in the long run.

Nice, so Pete gonna put a bag on his head or what?

"may" doing some heavy lifting here.

I don't know, I personally think he did it to please Israel (either by carrot or stick).
