We might just need to be like /k/ and put everything into a Middle East General if Iran gets involved like some have suggested

And a regional war between Iran and Saudi Arabia has the chance to escalate into a yet wider conflict if the world powers get involved

/ww3g/ when?

>>128539703
Well, it IS's Trump's responsibility this happened but it's GOOD news.

>Fake News starting a war?

"Fake news", decried by everyone from Donald Trump to Theresa May to Vladimir Putin, has now shown up in the broadcasts of Sky News Arabia and Al Arabiya news channels.

Following the hacking of Qatar News Agency's website on Tuesday, when comments falsely attributed to Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, were broadcast, both UAE-based broadcasters went big with the news, inviting guests to dissect and condemn the reported speech.

Qatar's government categorically denied that comments in which the country's leader expressed support for Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Israel - while suggesting that US President Donald Trump may not last in power - were ever made.

"There are international laws governing such crimes, especially the cyberattack. [The hackers] will be prosecuted according to the law," Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar's foreign minister, said in Doha on Wednesday.

Despite Qatari denials, Sky News Arabia and Al Arabiya kept running the discredited story, prompting complaints of questionable journalism at the channels.

Al Jazeera approached Sky News Arabia's joint owner, Sky PLC in the UK, to ask what media standards their Gulf affiliate adheres to, but they have yet to comment.

>The Qatar Emiri Land Force is the largest branch of the Qatar Armed Forces. Qatar maintains a modest military force of approximately 11,800 men; the army is made of 8,500 men. The lack of sufficient indigenous manpower to staff the army is a continuing problem, Qatari citizens constitute only 30 percent of the army, in which more than twenty nationalities are represented.

That doesn't sound like a very good combat force.

And they'd be relying on

>30 AMX-30 MBTs
>14 Mirage 2000 fighters

As the backbone of their air/land forces.

I think it would be pretty hard for Saudi Arabia to fuck this up.

They do have quite a few anti aircraft weapons, but I don't think that would make much of a difference.

But I suppose you never know. Saudia Arabia has demonstrated they're pretty much incompetent when it comes to waging war.

I read his book ‘Mein Kampf’ and was impressed by his strength, his faith, and his perseverance.'”

>The writer continued: “I told her: ‘But Hitler was a dictator who heeded nothing but his inner voice, and was a racist who recognized only the German Aryan race.’ She responded: ‘So what? It was enough that he was strong!’

Some said they admired him for killing the Jews, but most were enchanted by his strength, determination, and steadfastness. This begs the question: What is behind these young peoples’ love of strength? Are they fans of the violence engulfing the region? Or does the sense of helplessness and weakness [cause them] to adore of a figure who challenged the world with his strength and led an entire people to fight the world?”

There are countries that have concerns about the Muslim Brotherhood, with some of them going as far to consider them a terrorist organization. Four of the countries that just cut ties happen to be on that list, and it wouldn't surprise me if more nations get added to that list soon.

The underlying agenda here is to demonize Iran, as if they were the cause of all the world's turmoils. And obviously they aren't... the "deep state" is. And how to demonize Iran while not appearing that that's what they're doing? Cut off ties with Qatar "because they're supporting Iran". The bankers and MIC want a war with Iran so bad they can taste it. But before they can justify that war they have to paint Iran as if they were the cause of all the world's troubles. That's really what this is all about.

>>128544497
Yemen is Vietnam on steroids. They have the highest gun ownership in the world (even higher rate than burgers do) and their whole history and society (unironically read Yemeni military history, they have been at a constant state of war since like 3500 BC) is based on warfare, and tribes numbering in hundreds of thousands have blood vows to die together.

Please dont tell me you just implied that tiny Qatar and their 10k-man army are more capable of putting up a fight than the millions of gunmen in the huge mountainous and treacherous terrain of Yemen are

Reddit needs to go back

Has Russia responded yet?

Quick rundown. Add if you have any other details.
>Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic ties with Qatar
>also cancelled air and sea traffic
>Qatari diplomats have 48 hours to gtfo of those countries
>Qatari citizens have 14 days to gtfo

>Qatari government still hasn't issued a statement
>Qatari state news site is down (http://www.qna.org.qa/)

I always thought that cutting diplomatic ties was what happened when war is imminent. Japan cut diplomatic ties with the U.S. as planes were en route to Pearl Harbor. But so far there has been no mention of armed conflict.

Anyway the biggest question I have is if the president discussed this with the leaders on his trip to the middle east. If this happened without any prior discussion and comes as a surprise it could get a lot more confusing.

Does anyone know if Iran has made a response yet?

In the 1980s the USSR was a genuine threat but still had to starve it's people in order to even come close to America's military

Now? Some of the most stalwart USSR allies are de facto American puppets. Even Ukraine, a government that has essentially been a Russian proxy just 6 years ago is on it's knees begging to join the American hegemony.

If we are in a 2nd Cold War, Russia is a fucking horrible placement. Most of it's old socialist allies besides Venezuela want to get closer to America. Fuck, even fucking Cuba wants better ties with the USA!

>>128545568

Qatar was backchanneling with Iran because they're treacherous fucks and I want to see them pay the price because I despise them for having started the war in Syria. They bring war to Syria's doorstep? Fuck them. War should come to their doorstep. I'm sad that Qataris will die. But they how many hundreds of thousands of Syrians have died because of them?

And what are we going to do with Qatar after it's been pacified? Give it to whom? Iran? A Shi'a country controlling both sides of the Hormuz, vastly more oil and NG under ridiculous (((sanctions)))? The Saudis can likely hold it and pacify it.

Saudi army is likely to be incompetent because of mistrust of loyalty by the govt, so only the most loyal (not most competent) are put in power. However, the Saudi royal guard are made up of loyal tribes so Saudi govt doesn't choose ranks based on leadership but merit. The royal guard is competent but they may not be used.

Either way, even an incompetent army can take Qatar. I'd say the competence of Saudi army is akin to Syrian regime's army but with better equipment. It shouldn't be too hard to be Qatar. And they can take out air defenses. It's not like America won't tell where the air defenses are if Saudi doesn't know about them already.

France
Russian Federation
the United Kingdom
the United States

We all have reason to hate Qatar. None of them will veto a no-fly zone, then the United States can use our airbase over Qatar to enforce a no-fly zone. Qatar is fucked.

>Saudi govt doesn't choose ranks based of leadership just based on loyalty but merit, since they don't have to worry about former

Fixed.

Not if R2-D2 repairs their shield generators.

>>128546866
That's fine by me. To borrow from my country's idiotic politicians, al-Thani has lost ALL legitimacy.

Long live Assad! al-Mawt al-Yud! al-Mawt (((al-Amrika)))!

lmaoing at the people actually thinking a nation with a pampered population that has never been in real danger would be stronger at war than Russia

If a war to overthrow Qatar begins, it will be fast, and decisive.

But it will never happen, because the literal Command Center for USCENTCOM is based there

>>128539107
I'm hoping for an invasion and a full destruction of Qatar so that they'll move the 2022 world cup.

>>128546296
When they entered Yemen, they thought they would win within a week. Yes, seriously.
Not only did the Saudi invasion turn into a standstill but they also lost some of their own territory. This is the equivalent of the US declaring war on Mexico and then losing parts of Texas.
So no, they probably aren't ready. But if Qatar is just as incompetent as Saudis than Saudi Arabia can easily win.

Damn nigga, that's bretty cool, but wut is it?

We'll just proceed to the next step

Whats the next step of your master plan?

>>128547077
Assad may survive the Syrian war for now. But he'll be left with a divided country he won't be able to unify, full of rubble that would take 100 to 300 billions of dollars to repair. And Russia already said no to paying for anything. Neither China will. The US won't either and neither would the Gulf states.

That only leaves the EU. And considering how cucked they are, they might actually fund the whole thing. But it isn't likely.

This, CENTCOM is at MacDill

>>128546879
We have military bases and defensive pacts with Qatar. We sell them 10s of billions of dollars of weapons.

They will have a pissing contest, there might be a saudi jet that gets shot down, but they are not going to war.

>>128547303
My mistake. They really should move it to the Middle East already

In any case, if Trump pulls soldiers from Qatar then we'll know it's happening

>>128547176
>But it will never happen, because the literal Command Center for USCENTCOM is based there
We just sold the Saudis the arms to fight this war. I'm sure our boys in blue are going to be sitting pretty at al-Udeid, their only job to keep Qatari airborne assets from taking to the skies.

>>128539107
It would be extreamly funny if Saudi Arabia will become more secular and more adequate in a few days, and only tiny Qatar will get all the shit and will answer for everything.

>>128546557
Don't believe in every conspiracy even if it suits your views man. Just because those countries are driving their interests in syria doesn't mean they started the war

>>128545607

But all of those countries have incestuous relationships like that.

They took Israel's lead of playing both sides.

That can't be the real reason.

>>128547493
>We have military bases and defensive pacts with Qatar. We sell them 10s of billions of dollars of weapons.
Yeah but those pussies betrayed our coalition of the willing and our illegal proxy invasion of Syria. It's one thing to be a dirty lying snake, but a dirty lying snake who betrays the other dirty lying snakes? Get fucked. I normally am against war, but as I said earlier, this war is already ongoing and Qatar is already involved. To see them knocked out of it as a player only makes me happy.

>>128547493
Evicting Qatari citizens and halting sea and air traffic is basically a state of war without deploying troops.

How much food does Qatar grow domestically? How much money does Qatar earn from operations besides export of natural gas?

>>128545607
Yeah, this looks more accurate than most

>>128547636
Saudi's can't fight at all, and even a airstrike is not going to happen as Qatar has air defenses out the wazoo.

Also, not going to happen due to the military bases.

>>128545607
Are these the groups for the 2022 World Cup?

>>128547229
That's the US Air Force unmanned shuttle X-37. Flies on long (2 years) secret LEO missions doing fuck knows what.
