Atrocious Joe posted:Obama gave the Qataris carte blanche to hijack the Arab Spring and try to form a regional axis with the Turks to counter the Saudis and that only resulted in a lot of dead people and refugees at the end of the day. lol no Obama literally said “I don’t care about the folks in Tahrir” and openly supported the Saudi-Israel-UAE axis of fascism to put down the only shot Arabs had at some form of transition away from totalitarian dictatorships. it’s not Qatar or turkeys fault people voted for Islamists in the few elections that happened. Arabs clamoring and dying for democracy is not an American conspiracy.

Biden vows to 'free Iran' in West Coast campaign speech.quote:OCEANSIDE, Calif. (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday vowed to "free" Iran, and said that demonstrators working against the country's government would soon succeed in freeing themselves. Ominous. Although I am fairly sure it's merely grandstanding.

Qatar was on the leading edge of the effort to overthrow Gaddafi.quote:Thu 14 Apr 2011 20.36 EDT It was also on the leading edge of the effort to overthrow Assad. quote:Roula Khalaf and Abigail Fielding-Smith MAY 17 2013 The Qataris aligned with the Democrats, at least until their recent reconciliation with the Saudi leadership. Qatari money flowed to the Democrats' grifts and the Democrats gave them leeway to operate somewhat independently in the Middle East. Sort of a similar relationship the Bushes and the Trumps have with the Saudi royal family. quote:Clinton's charity confirms Qatar's $1 million gift while she was at State Dept Obama preferred them to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, but they were all still US client states. Even with Trump and the "pro-Saudi faction" in office, his administration tried to contain and end the big rift that happened between Qatar and the rest of the GCC rather than let them crush Qatar. After Obama failed to fully commit the US military to Syria, the relationship did get weird with Qatar and it's ally Turkey. AKP's Turkey was seen as a potential model for other mideast states by DC think tanks in the first Obama term, but by 2016 the administration was willing to let the military coup play out. I don't think Biden has really focused on rebuilding a special relationship with Qatar, but frankly his administration doesn't seem to have the ability to follow any consistent policy outside of Europe and East Asia.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak refused to answer questions about the fate of British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah after delivering a speech at the UN’s climate conference, COP27, in Egypt. As Sunak left the stage after delivering a speech at the summit in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh, VICE World News repeatedly asked the Prime Minister if he would be demanding el-Fattah’s release during his visit to Egypt, including in meetings with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the UK’s ally. However, Sunak was rushed away by colleagues without making a comment. This week world leaders began arriving in Sharm El-Sheikh for the launch of COP27. More than 300 miles away outside the capital Cairo, el-Fattah escalated months of a hunger strike by completely giving up food and water to protest 9 years in detention. Supporters of the jailed writer have been eager to get an update on his health, and on Monday morning his mother, Laila Soueif, travelled from her home in Cairo to the prison where she’s allowed to receive a weekly letter from her son. After waiting 10 hours outside the prison and pleading with staff, she received no letter from el-Fattah. In a comment to VICE World News, el-Fattah’s family said: “The weekly letter is the one proof of life we were counting on. And now it hasn’t happened. We don’t know what this means but it’s cause for serious concern. Is he still inside? Is he conscious? We have no idea now and are very very worried.” In addition to being an Egyptian citizen, el-Fattah is also British. And on the 18th of October, in the lead up to COP27, his sister, Sanaa Seif, began a sit-in outside the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London, hoping to pressure the British government to pressure el-Sisi to release her brother from prison. Sunak, who took office last month, released a letter before travelling to Sharm el-Sheikh in support of el-Fattah saying that the UK government was “deeply committed to doing everything we can to resolve Alaa’s case as soon as possible.” But since arriving in Egypt to attend COP27, Sunak has publicly been tight-lipped and avoided talking to reporters. His office released a statement saying that he had raised el-Fattah’s case during a meeting with the Egyptian President on Monday and that Sunak “hoped to see this resolved as soon as possible.”

everyone I spoke to thinks it’s an op marking the kick-off of election season (like the bombings Erdogan used as a threat in 2015). now, people in Turkey think everything’s an op, but it usually is.
