Weird to think we're in a siege. I used to wonder what it was like to be besieged in one of those old cities of yore. Guess I'm going to find out ;) But it does make one realise how crippling it would be to Qatar's economy. They can't let this last more than a few days. It'll probably all be resolved by Sunday. Just long enough to ruin the weekend. It might well be more than just a storm in a teacup but hard to figure it will become a total shitfest. |

Re: Four countries cut links with Qatar over 'terrorism' support
Everything said on here has confirmed Qatar can't withstand this isolation long. A few weeks at the most.

Re: Four countries cut links with Qatar over 'terrorism' support
as per the press release this is all due to (apparently) Qatar supporting 'extremism' within the region...what a load of BS....Its a happily anti iranian move. Iran is surrounded by its enemies along the persian gulf with some support from Qatar. Weakening Qatar gives a lot more mobility in the Persian Gulf. More than weaken mobility, its about weakening mutual obligations of security from the neighboring UAE and KSA

More to the point, will Bein Sports not be available here?
Interesting to note too, that a State can ORDER it's citizens to leave another Country, I wonder what would happen if the Qatari sponsors said no, we're not processing any requests. The Egyptians (in this case), would be held to ransom. |

Re: Four countries cut links with Qatar over 'terrorism' support
Yemen and Libya also joined the siege?
This is worse than the 2014 rift. Seems like things have been simmering since then |

...the shame arose mostly from the fact that it appears we had a common thought! |

Why do you think they waited until after the Champion's League final?
And I think they have exclusive rights to Wimbledon this year? |

Its just a lovers' tiff, albeit with multiple lovers/wives. They'll soon kiss & make up.
Bless 'em :heart: |
