It’s all theatrics ... Nothing more.
Besides Saudi Arabia is guilty for terrorism too.
What are they talking about as if they are innocent?
Theatrics Freepers theatrics....
Divide and conquer, baby!
Trump is cutting off the head of the snake, the gulf Islamists. They are the donors. Rest of Islamists are just inbred retarded mongoloids being used as cannonfodders.
They have cut diplomatic relations and expelled all diplomats. They are going to war.
Right. President Trump just visited the leader of Qatar on his Middle East trip last month.
No offense to anyone who wears sandals, but if you have an official meeting with the President of the United States you look like a caveman if you show up in sandals and your name isn't Mahatma Gandhi.
While I’m not going to give you a hard time, I do think this is progress. I’d rather have those nations over there going after each other than focusing on us.
Knocking Al Jazera? Works for me. Some of those other demands aren’t bad either.
Stop working with Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, and quit giving Egypt a hard time. Sop working with Iran and expel bad players.
Hey, we didn’t have to demand these things.
What’s not to like about this?
The one effect I’ve noticed from video feed from within the country is that truck deliveries from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, etc....are cut off to Qatar now. Food going fast out of grocery operations. Maybe some supply in local warehouses for three or four weeks, but there’s some local anxiety building up over how this emergency was created and how it will end.
Food could flow in via ships or aircraft, but that either increases the cost factor or adds two weeks onto planning/execution. My guess is that Iran would flow some food in via ships and help keep them covered. Long-term, if this went on for 100 days, it’s a mess.
Add to this...Qatar Airways is shutting down. You can’t fly out and cross over Saudi territory, and that really screwed up their tourism angle. Saw a video of the airport from last night....it’s shut down for the most part. If flying into Europe, you’d add an hour onto the normal flights....going via Iraq and Turkey. This also brings up the topic if European tourists would feel safe there.
Maybe theatrics, but if SA and Egypt carried this on for a hundred days...Qatar would be hurting and forced to cling to Iran.
Correct. It’s all about shifting blame to Iran. And apparently Trump is falling for it.
