Reflecting on the sad attacks in the UAE and the Middle East, the growing global uncertainty since COVID, and the hope that tensions do not escalate further.
The recent attacks in the UAE and across parts of the Middle East, as a response by Iran, are deeply sad and unsettling.
It feels like the world has been far more chaotic and uncertain since COVID. Many tensions build quietly for years, and then suddenly tip over. When they do, the effects rarely stay local — they spread in waves and touch economies, societies, and ordinary lives far beyond the immediate conflict zone.
That is what makes moments like this so worrying: even when the trigger is regional, the ripple effects are global.
I hope this does not escalate further, and that wiser decisions prevail before more people suffer.
