Qatar Puts Military On Highest State Of Alert Over Fears Of Imminent Incursion
esterday’s news that Saudi Arabia has issued an ultimatum to Qatar, listing ten demands among which that Qatar end all ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, has prompted a dramatic response by the small Gulf nation, and according to a just released report by Arabic CNN (and confirmed locally) US officials have said they have observed increased Qatari military activity as the country placed its forces “on the highest state of alert” over fears of an imminent military incursion.
The sources add that the Qatari military has brought up 16 Leopard tanks out of storage in Doha in preparation for a potential military incursion by surrounding Gulf states. Furthermore, the Qatari Ministry of Defense reportedly also sent a letter to Saudi, UAE and Bahraini governments, saying they would fire on any naval ships from those countries that enter into its waters, a US official said. US officials have said the situation in Qatar has not affected US military operations and security in Qatar.
The escalation comes at the same time as president Donald Trump allegedly changed course on Qatar, a day after praising a move by other Gulf nations to sever diplomatic relations with Doha, which hosts a US military base crucial to the fight against ISIS. CNN reports that in a phone call with the Qatari Emir, Trump “extended an olive branch,” offering to help the parties resolve their differences by inviting them to a White House meeting if necessary.
In a description of the Wednesday call, the White House said Trump “emphasized the importance of all countries in the region working together to prevent the financing of terrorist organizations and stop the promotion of extremist ideology.”
Trump’s latest flip flop echoed that of his secretaries of Defense and State, who emphasized Tuesday the need for Gulf unity and the importance of the US partnership with Qatar, home to the Al Udeid Air Base, the main regional center for air missions against ISIS.
Separately, the WSJ validated yesterday‘s reports about a Saudi ultimatum, reporting late on Wednesday that leading Arab states are drawing up a list of demands that Qatar must meet to return to normal diplomatic and economic relations, including steps to significantly scale back the Al Jazeera media network. Oddly enough, there was no mention of “Russian hackers.”
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and their allies are also seeking guarantees that Qatar’s government will stop its alleged financing of Middle East extremist groups and sever relations with the political leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood, a global Islamist movement, according to these officials.
Senior U.S. officials said Mr. Trump told the Arab monarchs he is prepared to mediate the dispute between the Arab states, some of whom host major American military installations. But the Trump administration stressed it needed a clear list of grievances to pass on to Qatar’s leadership, and that Washington wouldn’t necessarily endorse them.
These Arab and U.S. officials said this official list of demands is being compiled and could be completed in the coming days. Qatar’s ambassador to Washington, Meshal bin Hamad Al Thani, said in an interview on Wednesday that his government still didn’t know the specifics behind these Arab states’ decision to sever ties. He stressed that Doha is open to the Trump administration trying to mediate a diplomatic resolution.
“Until now, there have been no clear requests,” said Mr. Al Thani, a member of Qatar’s ruling family. “We are working toward de-escalation.” Saudi and Emirati officials have publicly accused Qatar of channeling funds to al Qaeda-linked groups in Syria and Yemen and providing a diplomatic safe-haven for the Muslim Brotherhood. Ambassador Al Thani denied Qatar knowingly has provided funding to any terrorist organizations. He said Doha is willing to take additional actions.
The reports come hours after Turkey, a government friendly to Qatar, approved a bill allowing expedited troop deployment to its base in Qatar. As reported earlier, the bill’s passage would allow Turkish troops to be deployed in Qatar and approve an accord between the two countries on military training cooperation.
* * *
As we reported last night, speaking to Al Jazeera, analyst Giorgio Cafiero of Gulf State Analytics, a geopolitical risk consultancy based in Washington, DC, said: “I think the Kuwaitis as well as Omanis … fear the prospects of these tensions escalating in ways which could undermine the interest of all six members of the GCC.
“There are many analysts who believe that a potential break-up of the GCC has to be considered right now. If these countries fail to resolve their issues and such tensions reaches new heights, we have to be very open to the possibility of these six Arab countries no longer being able to unite under the banner of one council,” said Cafiero.
He added that if tension escalates, there could be a “military confrontation”.
It is this contingency that Qatar is now preparing for.

Trump maneuvered himself in a difficult situation. Soon we could have exactly the situation as with Iraq-Kuwait. Not that I expect a “coalition of the willing” to throw Saudi’s out of Qatar. After all, both are already US vassals.

As far as I am concerned these motherfuckers can kill each other at will. I pity the innocent civilian populations, though. Governments are screwing the people throughout the world. The Saudis are already on the losing side in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. Do they want to go for btoke by picking a fight with Qatar and Turkey? Stupid is as stupid does! The USA can sell more weapons to both sides and profit from this. This could give the USA and the Dollar an extra couple of months. We are such a fucked up species! LOL!

“War in the middle east by these nations could cost oil to sky rocket…”
Maybe that’s the plan.
I tend to believe that this whole Qatar/Saudi warmongering is being staged and orchestrated for purposes that are not immediately apparent, and certainly not made public. Major life and death issues are at stake here, not just for SA and Qatar but for the region as a whole and by extension the rest of the world. If Trump manages to negotiate a peace then I’ll probably have no choice but to believe that the whole shit show was played out for the sole purpose of giving Trump a victory on the world stage to bolster his stature and by default putting another notch on his reputation as an ace negotiator. Maybe far-fetched, but I wouldn’t put it past them. These days it is ALL about illusion and perception management for the masses. War is brewing. Everybody is tuned in. The minds of the masses are ripe for molding.
Cloggie on Fri, 9th Jun 2017 2:04 am
Although I’m not afraid of a good conspiracy theory, I don’t think this is orchestrated. The Saudi leadership fears its own underclasses (#MuslimBrotherhood) that resents KSA being a vassal of infidel USA. And its fears Iran, because all the oil provinces of KSA are majority Shia:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-01-09/one-map-explains-dangerous-saudi-iranian-conflict
But I do agree with NWR that war is looming everywhere, apart from existing wars in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine and Libya:
– South China Sea
– Civil war in the US and Western European countries like France in response to mass migration
– Baltic republics with 1/3 Russian population

Just as we should be praising President Sanders, we should now look to the Corbyn revolution to see what happens when the left is not super-pac(ed) to one side the Qatari support for islamist so called democratic movements like the AK Party in Turkey and the Mohammad Morsi muslim brotherhood in Egypt which clearly are designed to undermine democracy but also throw out dictatorship supported by the US. The world is changing.

If we all used coal, hydro, nuclear to provide electricity to charge electric cars, the demand for oil would plummet.
Don’t need no stinkin’ oil from Sandistan.

Turkey to send troops to Qatar.
Qatar = Turkish-Erdogan AK Party = Hamas = previous Egyptian government = Muslim Brotherhood.
Now you know.
One would expect that even the Saudi’s would not be insane enough to risk a war with Turkey. After all they have a so-called strategic partnership with each other, which proves to be of little value. Furthermore Iran and Qatar are cosying-up over gas-cooperation (“enemy of my enemy is my friend”).
Apparently Turkey wouldn’t mind if KSA would be taken over by the Muslim Brotherhood. But the US (and of course US overlord Israel) prefers the Saudi fat cats as well as Sissi in Egypt. Both countries are easier to control this way.
rockman on Fri, 9th Jun 2017 8:06 am
Cloggie/NR – Maybe orchestrated, maybe not. President Trump behind it or maybe he’ll try to take the role of peacekeeper. None of it may matter. One side, both sides or all sides may have specific contingency plans. But as soon as someone makes the first serious move plans/intentions can quickly become irrelevant. At that point emotions/political posturing can evolve in rather unpredictable directions.

You don’t need to be an admiral of the Japanese imperial fleet to understand that if you attack the fleet of a country that has 6 times the GDP you have, you will experience the dire consequences.
Normally you don’t attack a country with 6 times your GDP, unless you are cornered and desperate, which was exactly the case with Japan.
One week after Japan joined the Axis, Roosevelt was notified by one of his aides, a McCollum, that an excellent opportunity for the desired war with Germany had arisen… via the Japanese back door… by imposing an oil boycott, with the message: “roll over and die”.
Roosevelt and his strategists knew in advance that the Japanese had no choice but to get their oil from the Dutch East-Indies and that they needed to protect their oil-tankers by taking out the US fleet that had been parked by the Roosevelt government in Pearl Harbor with a label “hit me” glued to it and that would have been used by the US to enforce the oil boycott.
Pearl Harbor was intentionally provoked by Washington in order to overcome the peace will of the American population, that didn’t fancy too much fighting yet another war in Europe (#Isolationism). Pearl Harbor was a pawn sacrifice. Roosevelt, but not Kimmel c.s., knew exactly where the Japanese fleet was and when they would strike. The sport was to leave the marines in the Pearl Harbor in the dark. It worked magnificently and Washington had its war (#DateWhichWillLiveInInfamy).
All the Americans had to do to get their intended world empire started…
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6139.htm
…was to destroy all the magnificent German cities, kill millions of innocent civilians in their merciless bombing campaign and afterwards let American Jews organize a show trial and invent the holo-tale to create the moral patine and justification for the war and piss on the Germans until today.
That’s Washington for ya.

Islamic Power Struggle.
Islam in Qatar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salafi version of Sunni Islam is the state sponsored brand of Islam in the country, making Qatar one of the two Salafi states in the Muslim world, along with Saudi Arabia.[1]
The local population, made up of Qataris, are all Muslims although there are high numbers of foreign workers in Qatar which varies the Muslim population. According to the CIA World Factbook, 77.5% of the population is Muslim, while 8.5% is Christian.[2] Foreign workers are well noted in the country, mainly from South Asia and Americans which constitute most of the population of Qatar. At the end of 2013, there were a total of 1,848 mosques recorded in the country

Nope, this is about the future of the Muslim world in the Middle-East. The two choices are:
1. remaining a US-Western (read: Israeli) vassal (that’s what the regimes in KSA, Egypt, Gulf states want)
2. becoming an independent Islamic pole in a multi-polar world (that’s what Turkey, Qatar, Iran, new Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Muslim Brotherhood want)

@clogtard. Japan had territorial ambition and inferior complex just like you and the moment they defeated the Russian fleet, they tried to get a bigger bite.
Of course territorial ambitions must be checked much like we do to Put Put now.
And of course the toxic masculinity culture of Japan back then put them on a path of conquest and face saving, and ultimately Kamikaze attacks.
joe on Fri, 9th Jun 2017 10:03 am
No its oil v gas. Oil is waning, Russia, Iran, Qatar control the worlds gas supply. Saudi, Kuwait, US has the oil. The oil is linked to the dollar, the gas is sold much more openly. Why else would a Sunni nation defy the Saudis? You make it sound as if the Muslim Brotherhood are democrats, they are not, they just want to do by the ballot what ISIS wants to do with suicide vests and burning people. Iran is a theocracy, no better than Saudi. The best any non muslims can hope for is to nuke Mecca and Media and Jerusalem and let’s all pray to the North Pole…..

Do you deny that the Roosevelt government had imposed a 100% oil boycott against Japan and that the Japanese were about to run out of oil?
The Japanese had indeed territorial ambitions in Manchuria, that originally were encouraged by the Americans who wanted to put a check on expanding Russian power.
The Americans also had territorial ambitions, namely Europe and its empires.

Can one expect Our Dear Leader to moderate a potential war brewing for hundreds of years?
DJT has no sense of history. None. History is everything in the Middle East.
Once again, KSA has bitten off far more than they can chew w/o choking.
If the Saudi can’t subdue barefoot Yemeni fighters,
how the hell will they deal with modern missiles?
At the end of the day, it’s always about oil.
Don’t forget. It was KSA that abrogated it’s ‘swing’

ruthless bombing campaign.
While Saudis failed to kill all Yemenis, famine and cholera are doing a superb job. More later.)

He likes sneaky undeclared wars so he felt a sort of comadare with the Japanese.
It is exactly the other way around: the Germans declared war on America, because the Americans had long been waging an undeclared war against Germany in the Atlantic with the purpose to create an incident (like in WW1 with the Lusitania).
By the time the war was almost over, Russian doctrines and tactics and material superiority was at least 4x that of Germans at the height of their superiority.
The Germans got a war imposed on them by almost the entire world: Poland, Noway, Britain, France, America, USSR, Canada, Australia, Yugoslavia, Greece, Netherlands, Belgium, to name a few.
WW2 was the systematic rape of Germany as planned by American Jews as of 1933.
But now the game of Washington is over and they will soon have to face their own citizens (Trump voters), as well as China, Russia and the European Right.

…and threatened to wage a bloodbath against the rest. In 1945 the Poles completely ethnically cleansed East-Prussia, killing millions. The dirty secret is: they already intended to do that in 1939, secretly encouraged by the Americans, in their effort to get the war started in Europe, by telling the Poles that the Americans, British and French would come to their aid, which was a lie, the Americans needed the Poles to get the war started and were after the war handed over to the loving care of Stalin.

Up till quite recently, America has never had actual fascists take power.
So new is this phenom, most of us couldn’t define the political stance.
Look for the following criteria;
Definition of fascism
1
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2
: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
Websters
Inget’s
A fascist will often put his (or her) name forward as
supreme authority on every subject with no proof.
Put his name on as many buildings possible in all caps.
Puts his race (or religion) forward as supreme.
Demonizes the press (or current media).
Now, most dictators promote a “cult of the personality”. (Hitler, Stalin, Mao, favorite, al Baghdadi, to name a few)
So far right and left they join a circle.
In the West we have avowed Fascists (Marine La Pen) or Oswald Mosley, for instance.
Our own DJT can’t spell Fascism, so, he’s exempt.
My favorite; the BIG—-BIG lie. Bigger the better.

Clog, is that untitled picture in Holland? Is that the Nazi’s doing the heavy lifting because the Dutch, by then, were already too pussyfied to do anything other than whine like little girls? So again you take pride in things others have done. Not me, I wasn’t there, although I am grateful that Europe was turned into rubble and Canada only suffered a paper cut while helping create the rubble. Sure made for a opportunistic and privileged life for me. After the war while you was all clearing up rubble they had a building boom in N America. In Canada even small towns of 1000 humans were getting indoor hockey rinks and eating steak every night. Better me and mine than you and yours. You still don’t get that most N Americans don’t give a shit about Europe except as a vacation destination. Oh they love to take part in the manufactured productions of “Je suis Charlie” and such after the terror attacks and tsk tsk omg at your refugee crisis, but they do not care. Never forget that the last two times the descendants of the uncouth ‘colonials’ went over to Europe was to kick some ass – 2 for 2.
Hey, clog tard did you know Canada will be officially 150 years old on July 1st – Canada Day? From zero to one of the richest, safest countries on the planet with one of the highest standards of living in only 150 years. All that and only 20% of the cruelty and subjugation the VOC showed towards their “savages” they plundered so y’all could be rich.
Thank the Chinese and rest of the “East” whose inventions flowed to western Europe for the majority of civilization. Thank fuck the Chinese did not think to use that gun powder in the same way or else they never would have had that 200 year hiccup of being knocked off as the economic and cultural super power they were and whitey would never have had their few centuries run. War sure has brought the goodies. I’m hoping Canada doesn’t get invaded and subjugated before I die, because I don’t want to know what it feels like to be a two time loser like the Germans. I was going to say like you, but since y’all sat at the kids table while the adults duked it out, you don’t count. That’s even worse than fighting and losing in my book. C’mon, y’all were cowards and still got shit kicked. Why should anyone listen to all your never ending and totally certain proclamations and prescriptions for how the world “should” be when you come from a country that refused to fight in the two world wars that decided the direction the world would go? This is why you are a fucking clown that I and most do not take seriously. Don’t matter who started what and all that, if you were unwilling to fight when the time came then you don’t get a say. Why would anyone believe in the convictions of people who were not willing to fight for them? Perhaps the Dutch overlords were being pragmatic (twice in a row) by choosing not to fight, but so what? Made their choice and have to live with it. Most humans, including the so called peace loving ones, will not have much respect for those who did not fight. It’s in the humans nature to be like that.

11:30 – Erdogan says Turkey won’t leave Qatar isolated
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed his backing for Qatar in its dispute with other Gulf nations, saying Turkey would never leave the country isolated.
Delivering a speech at a Ramadan fast-breaking dinner in Istanbul, Erdogan said on Friday that Turkey would provide food and medicine to help Qatar ease its isolation despite the other nations “displeasure”.
He called on Saudi Arabia and other countries of the region to end their sanctions, rejecting accusations by these countries that Qatar supports ‘terror groups’.
Referring to a statement by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson calling on the Arab nations to immediately ease their blockade of Qatar, Erdogan said: “I say let’s lift it entirely”.
On Wednesday, Turkey’s parliament passed legislation permitting the deployment of troops to a Turkish military base in Qatar.
