Dubai is Trump's sugar daddy. They gave him the $400m 747, and they're largely bankrolling his and his sons' crypto scams, and probably have a big chunk of Javanka's notes in their pockets. Hurt them enough and they may just pull their money out of the Trump family.
This time bomb keeps ticking.

Constitutions were written to protect us from tyranny. The greatest modern tyrant is ecological collapse. By giving nature legal rights—rivers to flow, forests to regenerate—we are actually securing the rights of our children to inherit a livable planet. #FutureGenerations
Please be the first amongst the thousands to like, comment and repost this message if you believe that our remaining forest in the Amazon and in the Congo basin must be protected for climate action and environmental sustainability. No to deforestation and ecocide.
Arrogance is believing we can endlessly take without giving back. Arrogance is thinking technological cleverness will always save us from ecological collapse. Arrogance is assuming nature is a foe to be battled,rather than the very system that gives us life.

Annihilating them at a frenetic rate will destroy their capacity to continue doing so. The inevitable result should be obvious.
