So the war drums are beating, and it appears we may have a war on our hands this fall. Anyone concerned that a US-Iran war will spill over to the UAE, Saudi, or Bahrain and therefore are formulating contingency plans?

I think my landlord is... he is trying to sell.

Just concerned that I go there with the family and then have to pack the bags shortly after. Or worse yet, get stuck over there unable to leave.

Concerned about going to Iran?

Why?

Safe as houses.

Here's a tip ....Don't go

The plan is to work in the UAE servicing military aircraft. Don't know if the US-Iran war would spill over there, or if my work site would become a target for simply having US military hardware.

You are right I can imagine the Iranians will drop the first nuclear bomb on UAE and the second on Israel. Its good to have a back up plan

Millhouse

at least you will be busy!

Almusaafir

Not very good prospects ahead then. Go work in a soon-to-be-war zone, and returning home shortly as a result to find work in an economy in shambles. Makes things interesting indeed.

warming up in Lebanon...where I have to go next month for a few days

Almusaafir

Can't imagine it is as bad as Iraq or Afghanistan. But yeah Lebanon is no Dubai. Be safe!

You can add Saudi to the list. They have so many targets to choose from.

Safest place to be in Riyadh is Kingdom tower. Any missiles programmed to destroy it will just sail harmlessly through the hole.

grow up kids. I'm in the Lebanon now and it's ok... Drive from the airport was peaceful... no one in sight at all thanks to the curfew
