Next. Saudi Arabia is planning to turn Qatar into a Island. LOL!

Even better, they'll have a nuclear waste facility at the moat.

Any bets on how long it will be before waste from that facility is used in a dirty bomb somewhere in SA?

So in other words, the crown prince is going to throw members of his own military and/or intelligence service under the bus. That will probably turn out well for him in the medium to long term.

the strategy is "well, we don't want ISIS to win, but we don't want the most powerful forces opposing ISIS to win, but we can't just do nothing because someone we don't like is going to win, so gently caress it, we're just gonna randomly hand out guns"

it's basically the same poo poo that happened in Syria. we had plenty of groups that we wanted to be defeated, but there wasn't any serious contender that we were really willing to tolerate winning, so we just kind of flailed around uselessly because our country is run by interventionists who just couldn't bear to not be involved somehow

like, that article is a bunch of military officers complaining about how the US didn't support Haftar, a pro-US warlord with CIA ties who loathes ISIS, hard enough. but the reason we're not supporting him very hard is because he wants to overthrow the elected government and be a military dictator, and has therefore been working for years to destabilize the country and extend his own influence at the cost of the national government's

that's what i'm saying though. the us is perfectly happy to back dictators (actual and aspiring) while loudly exclaiming in public that dictatorships are bad and unacceptable. offer only valid if the dictator in question does exactly what he's told by the us

the bipartisan consensus is that 19/20 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and we all decided it was about as significant as if they were all Scorpios.

it was also probably funded/coordinated with help from ISI:

I doubt Iranian subs can sink a US carrier. The Navy took the USS America out to sea and tried to sink her with underwater attacks for four weeks in 2005 until they just scuttled her.

Pretty wild that one can ask, "Can President Trump stop the Trump Administration from waging war on Iran?" and not sound that crazy.
