[dani958]

I will not surprised if its escalate to a war. Cutting of diplomatic ties is no laughing matter. It is the prelude to open scale conflict.

Qatar does not have to get food through saudis, it can import itself or other friendly countries can help them get it.

In fact, if Qatar plays its card right and get its act together, this will turn out to be cardinal mistake saudis have done.

And why is that..Qatar has 200 000 population..and most of them are pro-Saudis, even the ruling family has sent excuses to KSA today.. so the problem is with the ruling prince and its government not with the Qatari people..

Qatar is the super power of LNG. Every other things are just for fun, eg. Al-Jazeera.
I am with Qatar. This is the only modern country in GCC

They are not the only modern country in the region. I can attest that U.A.E is very very modern as well.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with modernity. It's just about Interests.
Plus you seem to underestimate the huge cross border trade that goes on between gulf countries . The GCC is not only the wealthiest region in the muslim world but also the most integrated business wise. So this action will have a serious impact on Qatar and even the other GCC countries as well. Qatar's Royal family should be very careful. Having been there , I can say it's a very wealthy and developed country with ultra high living standards for its citizens and very liberal/open for business. So they should focus on this, instead of supporting radical sunni terrorists groups which offers little benefit to the country. It's not like they are a big country like KSA or Iran either. So I'm still trying to figure out why they are over playing their hand in this middle eastern quagmire.

It probably will happen that the Saudians cancel the navalship's deal with Turkey due to:
Turkey has a base in Qatar.
Turkey and Qatar have been strategic partners.



How can the middle east countries , which are divided little pieces, dare fight each other?

 

[mdcp]

Dubai is sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan and it can be called as mini israel. Also proofs shown dubai was involved in failed coup attempt in Turkey. Saudis are doing wrong first they interfere in elected govt of Mursi and supported a traitor.

We need to support Qatar for supporting innocent muslims and raising voice for them against brutal discrimination

 

[Shotgunner51]

No, that won't happen. The U S,U.K, France, and even Asian coublike Japan have huge investments in these countries and for the former military bases. So any war here is out of the question.
I believe neutral countries like Kuwait shiuld meditate between both sides . We can also intervene to calm things down and prevent them from getting out of hand. There will certainly never be a war in this area, not anytime soon. Even if it means a change in regime in Qatar, then regional and western powers will make that happen than allowing the country to turn into another Syria. We have too much at stake there . So talk of any war is wishful thinking.

This is a big news, because Qatar is deeply connected to many nations! They sell half of their LNG to China, and invest gigantic amount of surplus monies mostly in Europe.

They are pivotal shareholder of many Europe-based assets like Volkswagen AG, Barclays Plc and Credit Suisse Group AG, Glencore, J Sainsbury Plc, British Airways. Chinese (CIC, a sovereign fund) also partner with them on big ticket assets like London Heathrow airport, UK National Grid Plc and some trophy assets in London. See their behemoth $335 billion Qatari Investment Authority (QIA, their sovereign fund):

Steady LNG supply is important to China, Qatari capital is instrumental to Europe, even Chinese sovereign fund has huge vested interests, so I'm afraid both will be affected if tension in ME escalates. Being a heavy shareholder in UK economy, perhaps Qatar can mobilize political resources in London to help de-escalate the situation.

If Qatar and Turkey are really strategic partners as you say, then why Turkey didn't announce any statement regarding the issue. I remember when the failed military coup happened in Turkey, Qatar was one of the first countries to oppose it. Where is Erdogan right now?
