Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain severed their ties with Qatar on Monday, accusing it of supporting terrorism and opening up the worst rift in years among some of the most powerful states in the Arab world.
Iran -- long at odds with Saudi Arabia and a behind-the-scenes target of the move -- immediately blamed U.S. President Donald Trump for setting the stage during his recent trip to Riyadh.
Gulf Arab states and Egypt have already long resented Qatar's support for Islamists, especially the Muslim Brotherhood which they regard as a dangerous political enemy.

Syria's Assad was the only one preventing the completion of this strategy.
It's gotta be Trump's fault this didn't get done!
There’s a gut-wrenching thread here from 3-4yrs ago about how Qatar has bought off the entire deep state. All of it, and generously.
.. if Qatar is this bad, why does the US have a billion dollar air base and a lot of personnel there. Interesting to see what direction this goes...
“.........cutting Qatar ties, Iran blames Trump”.......
If it rains on the 4th of July parades, it will be Trump’s fault. Remember “Rules for Radicals” and the Clinton Doctrine, keep throwing BS against the wall and eventually something will stick. “Blame everything on Trump”
This is where the 5 exchange students (Bowie) were sent. We even built a huge compound for them to live during their one year surveillance.
I remember. This seems to be a BFD, and is one of the more encouraging developments I have seen recently. Interesting to know whether DT had anything to do with this.
Uh oh. Didn’t Bambi or Killary just buy a mansion in Qatar?
Qatar’s “guests” must have had plans for action vs Saudi Arabia
Or they kept someone’s money or weapons and didn’t deliver
No comfy chair for Qatar ...
And Bill Clinton’s only getting a birthday card this year
I was thinking the same thing. We have a major ops center in Qatar. It is also a favorite destination for Saudi’s that want to shed their burka and party.
I have considered the sponsors of ISIS to be Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Obama’s State Department.
It looks like, with the advent of Trump, they are down to the Turks and the Qataris.
I wonder if Trump and the Saudis are considering “regime change” in Doha.
"Fact Check" .org claims that Obama did NOT buy residential real estate in Dubai, so he probably has not paid for it yet.
There was a 24-letter Qatar Awareness Campaign in ‘14, this thread is the one that got me started on them.
Is the American media and Political Class finally Waking Up to the threat of Qatar?

If Iran and the Democrats hate Trump he must be doing a great job.
Hey, we got a naval base in Cuba.
