So basically the Russians ran an operation seeking to knock out the us base in Qatar and trump completely fell to it

Hell he took credit for it.

Only because he wants to strike a far better deal when he personally renegotiates a base deal with the Qataris; they'll probably have to end up paying for a wall surrounding southern Iran too.  :cool:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Amateur hour all around.

The EU should create the Order of the Golden Bauble, give him a big shiny medal and scepter, and see if that distracts him enough to get the US back to a reasonable position.

You are laughing but I seriously think something like that would work. Which is sad.

I really don't know if I should laugh or cry.

You remember how you read about bad emperors and kings messing up their empire for decades if not downright collapsing them? This is how the modern version of this looks like, folks.

If it's done through official channels they would still do something tasteful. Unless you get Berlusconi's people on it.

Qataris may no longer use the airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi at all, which means they have now more limitations than even Israelis which can stay in the airport for transfers.

Turkey just announced that they're fast-tracking a bill to deploy troops in a base they have in Qatar.

UAE threatens potential sympathizers with Qatar with up to 15 years in jail if they express such sympathy in any way, including social media.

Valmy

Wait so Turkey is protecting Qatar?

I guess right now I just need to wait to hear what the US military is going to do since our clown President will just tweet whatever he thinks makes him look good.
