🇶🇦 Qatar

#1

Interesting old situation in Qatar. As our man in the Middle East, @dubai_phil has reported, a number of nations have turned their back on Qatar, citing financing of terrorism as the reason for their blockade. All flights from those nations were cancelled. There’s a sort of blockade going on. The Iranians are actually doing a modern day Berlin airlift to keep the nation afloat.

Before we guffaw at the notion of Saudi Arabia being affronted that _other _nations finance terrorism, I reckon there are some wider questions to consider.

What exactly has Qatar done to earn this censure?

Is this a result of Russian intrigue? (almost everything is these days)

What are the implications for Turkey’s relationship with the West? Erdogan has called the blockade inhumane.

Whose side has May’s “Government” decided we’re on?

Given the arms deals that could be at stake for backing the wrong side I’d suggest Saudi Arabia.

Guys.

I will not comment nor post on this thread after this

When I have verified stories and background I will post links on the fighting terror thread.

Suffice to say that Gulf News has in depth stories context. More specifically research The Muslim Brotherhood via previously released UK official secrets act going back to the 1950’s to last releases in late 80’s. They have been quoted here.

The decision on Qatar was taken by a number of Nations. I concur with it.

Probably safe to assume they’re watching him. Not sure why DP* would be behaving in such a clandestine fashion otherwise.

* just me?

It has buggered up the daughters R&R time as they cannot now meet.

One is working in Abu Dhabi and the other is living in Doha working for Qatar Airways. Flights only affected to the blockading countries so she says.

Dubai Phil won’t be replying to anything on this thread which is a shame as I heard from a reliable source that he has a micro cock.

D_P seems to be employed by his local propaganda & agitation dept. The golf is a front._ … _

Al Jazeera, then?

Remember that documentary “The Lobby” they did a while ago? That can’t have been helpful to objectives in the region.

Aapollogies posting a fail link but the “Scoop” is behind a paywall on the Times.

So it is alleged that Al Jazeera (BeIn Sports) bunged FIFA $1 billion at key points in the World Cup process.

And FIFA are investigating Man City for FFP.

Irony at it’s best

Now I’m not taking any sides in this, and BeIn Sports ARE a huge payer of International TV Rights money into many sports.

Equally TV rights for a WC are a lot more than $1billion. So, is this fake news or were FIFA taking a bung?
