Positive consequences. The entire concept of using public resources and burdonsome private sector regulations to whitelist transactions has always been shaky logic. The theatre has simply bought time on - or against - considering attempting other forms of compliance (war). But its always been bullshit and its always been an option to not play along with that, and do your own thing. UAE is doing their own thing. Its business as usual, lots of financial conferences, crypto parties, meeting and trade spot for people of all nationalities. Thats kind of one of my favorite things about travel, going somewhere where its not taboo to run into someone from a third country. I know a lot of people that have hung out in dubai over the last 2 months promoting whatever product or service, as if nothing else was going on in the world. Russian, America, EU citizen, Swiss, Ukrainian, Ukranian-American, Russian-America, people from other countries less involved in this conflict. Just business as usual. The weather is also pretty nice. Sometimes its useful to just shift your mental nexus. There is a version of the world where Dubai is (or remains) its own bubble while the rest of the world is shambling along with their unrelated conflicts. Like a future bubble city like in an Aldous Huxley novel or the Jetsons.
