I think this is hilarious. People who help enable such a terrible country and actively promote it don’t get any sympathy. I’ll save that for the slaves unable to leave.

My schadenfreude does not extend to this type of suffering.

Go to the regional subreddits. They're dominated by expats, and I bet you'll rediscover your sense of schadenfreude right quick.

You were right I found it back for the pets these "expat" are letting behind.

These people had no problem living in a slave city or abandoning their pets to die of thirst, as exemplified by that post.

Ho boy... I though you were defending them... My bad

You right, can you link me to the reddit where the slaves used to build and maintain Dubai are speaking about their evacuations ?

I don't understand, that was sarcasm ?

No, I'm saying they're pieces of shit who chose to live in a slave city, and have no problem abandoning their pets.

So no matter how many bombs fall, I will never feel sorry for those expats.

Same. My bad, I misunderstood you.
