Qatar and Iran have been rivals for many years, especially over the PARS Liquid natural gas field. So if the Israeli attack on Qatar draws Iran and Qatar closer together in response, that could be useful to the axis of resistance. Saudi and the UAE have made “strong statements” about the attack on Qatar by Israel. But still just hollow words. Talk is cheap — when only the benjamins truly matter.
It should be evident to Iran by now, that it cannot go this alone versus what is truly the Little Satan. But can Realists rely on Iran to do the right thing? Iran must take the offensive, develop its nuclear program, and attack Israel as soon as practicable. After all, in this Old Testament Hebrew tanakh world of pre-emption – why not?
On that subject, it’s absurd to allege that the ongoing holocaust of Palestinians in Gaza and the Occupied Territories by the US and Israel has no geopolitical consequence. Israel – like the US – is a murderous terror state. Israel threatens the world. And with its “Samson Option” Israel threatens the world with nuclear destruction. So long as Israel “exists” there will never be peace in this world.
Qatar has few options. Qatar could shutdown the “secret” CIA prison in Zekreet; and expel the CIA from its “secret” DOHA station [1] present in Qatar. The very large US air base in Qatar could be indirectly targeted via Qatari ‘plausible deniability’ assistance. Qatar could also supply Yemen vs Israel especially with funding. Qatar also has connections to Hamas and others in Gaza which could be useful to fund. Will any of the foregoing occur? Shekels still talk… and the rest walks.
The lesson for Qatar should be that its alliance with the USA (and defacto Israel) has been a massive mistake. Qatar could do without US backing even if that endangers their LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) industry – but that industry would only be impacted for now. There are plenty of other customers for Qatar; like supplying Europe using say Russian LNG assistance instead of the US. But shekels talk and the rest walks — at least for now. Realistically it will take many years to right the wrongs of the past — i.e., Qatari collusion with the US — and turn the ship of corruption elsewhere.
The lesson to the rest of the world of course, is that so long as Israel and the USA rule by their bloody hand no one in the world is safe – even within their own perverse regimes. (i.e., US-Israeli insiders) This is a situation that cannot be remedied or improved until the assassination state of Israel and its US lackey are together brought to their perverse knees.
[1] Most internet references to the “secret” CIA station in Doha, Qatar, have been scrubbed from search results on internet search engines. Likewise, the CIA ‘secret prison’ in Zekreet does not appear in search results, even if factually still in existence.

That’s insane. As if anyone needs further proof of just how crazy the Israelis are and how cowardly the Qataris, and the rest of the gulf Arabs, are as well. Pathetic.
