Saudi threatens to lay seige to Qatar
Saudi Arabia has threatened to blockade its neighbouring Gulf State Qatar by land and sea unless it cuts ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, closes Al Jazeera, and expels local branches of two prestigious U.S. think tanks, the Brookings Doha Center and the Rand Qatar Policy Institute. Sounds rather heated. |

That said I find the idea of gcc armies engaging each other utterly hilarious. You can just imagine what it'd be like |
Re: Saudi threatens to lay seige to Qatar
I somehow get the feeling that the recent sabre-rattling has something to do with the way the Russia-Ukraine situation has taken place; where the US gave the appearance of not willing to take any strong steps in favor of Ukraine...

Al Arabiya's editor-in-chief says Qatar has a " small state syndrome" .
Well we know why Al Arabiya would say that;) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/faisal...usaolp00000592 Senior sources in Riyadh also say that following the toppling of Qaddafi in 2011, Saudi Arabia obtained audio recordings containing a conversation among top Qatari leaders discussing supporting an attempt to overthrow the Saudi monarchy. Unconfirmed reports hint that this audio recording was of Qatar's former Emir Sheikh Hamad and former Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim. |

Bella Cockpit indeed :rofl: http://vid.alarabiya.net/images/2014...c01b0cb86c.jpg |

I am usually a rather dour bastard, but the PAE and the follow up reports taken at face value have had me laughing all afternoon.
Bloody brilliant!:lol: |

I do wish PAE would not disclose soo openly their satirical nature, it ruins the fun from what would otherwise surely be far more posters showing genuine umbrage.
