The more I think about Dubai, the more I realise that it represents one of two possible futures for much of the world.

The first possible future is basically Detroit – a bombed-out Dirt World husk of a once-great civilisation.

The second is the logical conclusion of the globohomo ideology – of a super-privileged ultra-rich elite playing in the clouds and living among gleaming skyscrapers and sanitised streets and extraordinarily expensive artificial gardens, supported by a vast underclass of slaves.

That's what Dubai is nowadays.

Its growth has been absolutely explosive. But it is an extremely vulnerable city that is hugely expensive to maintain and fighting against nature every step of the way. Sooner or later, Nature wins.

I expect the city to fall as quickly as it was built.
