Eltoasto posted:Sure but if the boss of our troops says to do nothing and watch KSA occupy the place, won't they follow the humiliating orders? Invading risks killing Americans or blowing up our stuff by mistake in the cross-fire, which is a very bad idea even when the President isn't a literal child who might lose his temper and lash out at the perceived slight.

Ok, nevermind then. If none of you think it will actually come up anywhere serious, I'm satisfied.

Also, you know, the invaders would be the Saudi army. They have a long and storied history of extreme competence and professionalism right.

botany posted:I have a hard time believing that Republicans will try to skewer Clinton over something that their base most likely sees no problem with, unless in a "liberals are hypocrites" sort of way. Also who gives a poo poo if they do, Clinton should stay out of politics anyway. Some goatee at the National Review will probably chortle about it, and maybe a few Pepes will make some related memes. The only real angle for them is "look at those radical leftists tarring Communist Clinton for not virtue signaling enough," or some poo poo.

Dapper_Swindler posted:Qatar basically has 24 hours to make 10 insane damands happen or else and turkey is moving in troops to defend Qatar. War could happen in the next 24 hours. Which would be dumb, because Saudi Arabia doesn't need to attack Qatar to make them have a really, really bad time. If they feel particularly ballsy they could try to blockade Doha entirely though, which does have a chance of escalation.

Considering how idiotic the demands are and how they essentially spell out "Do whatever we want in the future or else", essentially turning them into a vassal, there is no way anyone would agree to those demands.

Are you secretly Donald trump? Are you going to go tweet that polls don't matter, and it's all fake news anyway and instead of focusing on how unpopular you are they need to focus on how powerful you are?

Maybe it's just my depression creeping but it honestly feels like, and I say this with complete sincerely, nothing matters. Why are we still bothering to get up in the morning and go to work?

Symbolic gesture, it seems. Turkey supports Qatar, but no one has declared war on Qatar or is trying to invade, so it's just hot air. e: Also, is anyone expecting anything from the closed hearings later?
