Still doubt this deters if invasion was under serious consideration. It's not about the number of troops you can position there, it's the might of that country itself at home and what it can do when those troops are hurt, in this case that is not much given the distance and Gulf states having large air forces.
Qatar does not stand a single chance even against 1 middle-sized Arab tribe in KSA or Iraq for instance. Let alone the entire might of KSA, the GCC and much of the Arab world. It's a joke to even have such a discussion. Everyone saw the reaction of Trump, the US establishment, West, Russia, China, Arab world etc. No support for Qatar whatsoever other than Erdogan (who is usually good at barking) calling for solving this dispute.
I don't think that any invasion (unrealistic as of now although Qatar will eventually be swallowed up by KSA or a pan-Arabian federal state - that is a given) is imminent but Hamad and son will no longer do what they have been doing in the past 20 years. Either that or they will be toppled and replaced by another Al-Thani just like they used to topple each other. Hamad toppled his own father and Tamim toppled his father Hamad indirectly after this clip became public:
Also I don't recall if you remember what King Abdullah used to say to Al-Assad and Gaddafi and what Gaddafi (a few weeks before he died) said about Qatar his former allies. It's almost poetic looking back.
