Are we really entering ww3? First Ukraine? 2022. 4 years ongoing. No signs of truce any time soon. Now large regional conflict in the gulf, Iran. Step by step, major war operations spread globally. While I am still trying to comfort myself of things will end with negotiations and at the...

Agreed.

Sorry, but what is S/D?

In my case, i work there. So middle east airports are essential to return home (and then go to safari) If they block airports like they did during pandemics, i am stuck there. My african trip cannot be planned now. If they hit the rig things will get more complicated.

Money not spent on hunting, is money wasted!
