taking that together with the Senate FRC approving iran sanctions like a week ago it's definitely looking like the current coalition goal is to isolate and destroy Iran for no reason we also just sold the saudis billions of dollars in arms to invade Qatar themselves and they will probably gently caress this up and get engaged in a foreverwar that spreads unrest, refugees, and terrorism even further in the region lmao

Let's hope that Iran started rebuilding the bomb when Trump was sworn it.

This coming soon after Trump's meeting with ~the orb~, means the house of Saud managed to successfully smooth out Donald's baby brain, with enough pomp and flattery or some poo poo. I'm guessing that Obama had been trying to rein in the Sunni-Shia poo poo for the last 8 years, and Salman was waiting for the green light from Trump personally before he did this. Also there is no way Qatar is being invaded, they're too small and vulnerable to do anything but fold to Saudi pressure and then beg forgiveness. It'll be interesting to see what happens to Al Jazeera when that happens.

The fun thing is going to be when all the foreign workers try to leave Qatar per their nation's directions only to discover the Kafala system means 'soz ur a stateless slave now'

Al Jazeera Arabic has been lusting for Shia death since always, and there's no reason for AJE to change even under Saudi pressure.

Al-Jazeera is a well-studied instance of Qatar's foreign policy strategy on soft power. It's a very, very vulnerable place. RIP Qatar if Saudi Arabia is willing another foreign adventure, as in Yemen.

Do you think Iran immediately saying 'have as much food as you need forever' will slow KSA down at all?

It is different now though because Trump is one of the most easily manipulable world leaders in history, and he'll believe whatever (most of) the GCC tells him.

Even if Kelly-Anne forced his head under the next time he asks her to share his dirty bathwater, I don't think Mike Pence or even the messiah Bernie would sort out that particular hornet's nest any time soon.

Even in the alternate dimension where Bernie won there would probably still be a disgusting amount of weapons sales to Saudi, but it's doubtful that any other administration would be dumb enough to ok the total diplomatic isolation of Qatar from the rest of the gulf. Trump has also surrounded himself with Reagan era dinosaurs and military leaders who all have major chips on their shoulders about Iran, and they're all going to agree that Saudi interests are American interests when it comes to the perfidious ayatollahs.

They're not wrong. e: https://twitter.com/faisaledroos/status/872251817110806528 1. Immediately break diplomatic relations with Iran. 2. Expel all Hamas members. 3. Freeze bank accounts of Hamas members and stop dealing with them. 4. Expel all Muslim Brotherhood members from Qatar. 5. Expel anti-GCC elements. 6. End support of 'terrorist organisations.' 7. Stop interfering in Egyptian affairs. 8. Cease broadcasting the Al Jazeera news channel. 9. Apologise to all Gulf governments for 'abuses' by Al Jazeera. 10. Qatar must pledge that will not carry out any actions that contradict the policies of the GCC and adhere to its charter. https://twitter.com/faisaledroos/status/872268257302003712 Pener Kropoopkin has issued a correction as of 17:50 on Jun 7, 2017 |

All 3 participants have extra-military support for insurgent groups, all 3 have used terror operations/groups for their own interests. So expect more things like car bombs and the like, a lot of them, even if no direct military conflict occurs.

they talked to the president of the USA like two weeks ago while clutching an occult orb and he was totally on board with them murdering whoever they wanted, so they picked Qatar i dunno about the al jazeera poo poo but i'm guessing since it's mildly critical of the saudi government, ever, that's just too much to handle and it must burn

Niger has announced that they're recalling their ambassador to Doha "in solidarity with Saudi Arabia." So apparently the Saudis are throwing their weight around in the whole of the Sunni world and aren't just content with the GCC. Eritrea has rejected the notion of cutting ties to Doha. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/06/donald-trump-seeks-increased-anti-terror-efforts-170609182255279.html quote:The US administration has sent mixed signals to Arab Gulf countries amid one of the biggest diplomatic crises gripping the region.

The sheikh must have just said to Trump "Look, Iran are the terrorists, we've got to stop them, give us the free reign to sort it out" and then Trump just said "yeah okay, that sounds good, I have no reason to suspect you're lying at all".
