Saudi Arabia Gives Qatar 24 Hour Ultimatum As Analysts Warn Of "Military Confrontation"

a reply to: Willtell

The world is slowly, and I mean slowly…REAL SLOWLY, maybe, becoming aware of this Gulf State /Western fraud of terrorism.

Qatar is apparently the scapegoat.

I don't know what is going on. I don't think the empire gives two S#'s what we know or don't know. They only care that their soldiers remain submissive and patriotic.

Maybe Qatar changed its geopolitical objectives (thrown a wrench in imperialist plans) and is now being thrown under the bus. Maybe they said F# it to supplying EU and ISRAEL natural gas. Maybe this is why Israel is backing S.A against Qatar.

Maybe China and Russia offered a better alternative...

Turkish parliament approves troop deployment in Qatar

Mmm sorry old chap. It's true

Qatar is aligned with Iran. That's all it takes.

Trump offers help to resolve Gulf crisis

In a phone call with Qatar's emir, Trump offers a meeting in the White House if necessary.

Here we go! This is the old switcheroo! "Hey now Qatar, why don't you come to the White-house and I'll tell you how you're going to shut up and do whatever I tell you to do to get those big bad brothers off your back"

Approving moving the troops is quite a bit different than actually moving the troops is it not? While I'm not saying it's impossible that they've moved troops into Qatar in the last 24 hours, I am saying I cannot find evidence of it.

Did you even read what you posted?

Like the mob guy showing up at your business to let you know how it's going to be taken care of.

While I agree those tweets weren't wise, you're not under the impression it somehow jeopardized our base in Qatar are you?

No. It just demonstrated how stupid Trump is. How does America maintain for years a military base that host 10 000 U.S troops in Qatar and then the POTUS goes and makes those tweets...?

There are reasons why Senate Foreign Relations Chair Bob Corker remained in stunned silence for about 8 seconds when told of the tweets.

The stupidity of Trump demonstrates how unsophisticated American politics can be at times. This is a world leader who lacks diplomacy and intelligence.

You gonna give me a link confirming the troop movements or not?

a reply to: Involutionist

I can't really take issue with much of that, except the idea that Trump represents the sophistication level of American politics.

Deary Deary me, Someone is grumpy today huh?

Have you had a snickers yet?

OK, whilst it does not state boots on the ground and I have no satellite imagery showing troop movements, I would say it's a given.

Who cares what you say, I was looking for evidence. There's 150 turks at their base right now, and that number has not changed. You guys make the claim that the Turkish army is heading over there, more fake news. Until it happens I don't believe it.

No. But someone else already did....

Check your comment reply in-box.

Btw, is there any reason why you are so concerned about this particular aspect going on? What are your thoughts concerning this issue...?

a reply to: D8Tee

Ok, you've made that claim previously in the above posts.

No need to get your knickers in a twist.

Let's watch this space and see how this plays out. I'm sure there will be an update soon. The sure is Intent on behalf of Turkey to move more troops it seems.

So the Pakistani Ministry of Defence is lying...?

I've not seen the reports of actual troop movements yet, have you?

a reply to: CaptainBeno

If this is true:

Turkey's parliament on Wednesday approved deploying troops to a Turkish base in Qatar under a previously agreed plan, in a move seen as a sign of support for Doha.

Then it looks like this will become a showdown between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Trump's call to Qatari ruler Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, a key US ally, came as a senior Emirati official told AFP that Gulf Arab states were not seeking regime change in Doha.

Take with a grain of salt:

Or we see an alignment with Qatar and Iran?

I found this map amusing.

A top Iranian agricultural official responded by announcing Monday that Iran could send food shipments to Qatar by ship. He said the shipments would take 12 hours to reach Qatar. It is not known if any shipments have yet arrived. ...
An Iranian transportation official said Tuesday that Qatari flights bound to North Africa and Europe that used to cross Saudi, Egyptian or Kuwaiti airspace can now travel over Iran, Iraq and Jordan. Flights to Northern Europe can cross Iran.

Interesting Article

If Turkey sends in 10,000 troops, how will the Saudi's respond?

How the f# would I know? I'm just here killing time waiting for my ride to go watch the game. LOL.

Thank you for the link to the article and the graphic/map—much appreciated. I will read it and weigh it against global think-tanks information such as the Brookings Institution — which often blurs the lines between truth and propaganda.
