But why are they still intercepting Houthi missiles and drones heading to Israel? It isn't Saudi doing the interception actually. It's US stationed forces there controlling the American supplied ADs. That can change at any moment though, especially if Saudi makes good their intent to buy Chinese tech. |

LordAdam16: There's a really delicate dynamism playing out here.
The Saudis and Emiratis (alongside the chihuahuas of Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman) are tied to their adventures in Yemen and Sudan (and partly in Libya). Adventures that required and still require huge assistance from the US and Israel. They are not enthusiastic about flushing all their efforts costing billions of dollars down the drain for Qatar. Because no one else, literally no one else on the planet, wants anything to do with their repulsive hegemonic wars.
Everyone else, bar Morocco, has demanded very harsh consequences. From Algeria to Malaysia. As this is a joint Arab League - Organization of Islamic States summit. But there is a creeping realization that if the Gulf is not interested in solidarity between themselves because of inanities, then it's a waiting game until they are wrecked badly again.
The biggest unintended consequence of this attack on Qatar is that the Gulf had been planning to repeat Lebanon in Yemen. Where they'd use the Houthi-Israel conflict as an opportunity to pursue their own goals. They've been planning an offensive, rearming their lemmings in Yemen, and all of that is now in question. I am sure the Houthis were high-fiving each other when they saw the smoke in Doha.
-Lord I have said it. The Doha attack is a blessing and a curse in disguise. First, it puts Israel directly on the crosshairs of hatred from across the western civilization. That is growing by the day. Secondly, it serves as a recalibrator on the geopolitical psychic of the Arab states. Now they'd be forced to reevaluate their priorities, reassess their commitment and redrawn objectives. Why? Because they value their fat and luxury life and comfort and knew they could be the next target for the mad man in Tel Aviv. Like photo, their eyes don they open small small. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Appleyard(m): 9:25am On Sep 17, 2025 |
LordAdam16: The Qataris and the Gulf all knew the US would have foreknowledge because the US and Israel had floated it multiple times in the past and were rebuffed.
But they all have to keep up appearances.
The issue now is why the Israelis are raising dust again after all 3 parties had agreed on a narrative. Israel unilaterally launched the attack. The Americans learned about it when it was too late. The Qataris were informed after the missiles had been fired.
It appears the US denials have created a political snowstorm where everyone wants to dogpile on Israel. Even those who are pissed at the US are transferring their aggression that should be directed at the US to Israel. Case in point, of all the measures that have been proposed as a response to the attack, no one has said anything about the US presence, inadequacy, and responsibility. In all their statements condemning Israel, only Iran I think, barely mentioned the US. Essentially, the framing is that Israel is a rabid pest that can no longer be restrained by the US, so the Ummah should go all out to batter Israel diplomatically and economically. Qatar is pushing this and everyone is enthusiastically keying into it, because it'd allow those who still want to preserve their US partnership to do so. Even the Europeans and Anglosaxons favor this.
The Israelis are uncomfortable with this turn of events and are now signaling that they have no intention of catching all the flak when the US is the premier co-conspirator. In fact, in all of this, the US has not made a public statement or made public overtures to try to soften the blowback on Israel. They don't want to draw attention to their culpability. Rubio was in Israel today and said nothing that'd diplomatically help Israel wrt to the Qatar attack.
-Lord It's very obvious. The Yahooboy's camp is becoming very uncomfortable. While it is still unclear what this will lead to in the short term, one thing is now certain: In a potential Israel/Iran 2.0, the Tel Aviv gangster will no longer get the most support it was getting from the Arab collaborators. And that's bad news for the IDF. Killing Haniyeh in Iran was not seen as a terrorist act by much of the western world because of the beef with Tehran. But attempting the same act in Doha is a different ball game. Not only does it jeopardize US relations with its allies,l in the ME, it also legitimize the claim that Israel is hell bent on genocide and endless wars. This is why the Americans are now distancing themselves from this current chaos. To make things worst, they've succeeded in setting a bad precedent. Israeli civic officials are now a legitimate target for both state and no state actors in a any theatre of hostilities. I repeat. If the US don't do away with Netanyahoo, they should be ready for more loss of influence and strategic partnership in the ME. There is no way these blatant acts of aggression and madness can continue any further without serious blowbacks on Israel and the US. The anger all over the world, even from the western hemisphere is tilting gradually into overt reaction. |

LordAdam16: Venezuela offered Russia La Orchilla to serve as an air base for strategic bombers in 2009.
Russia in particular, because China power projection as a concept is a recent affair, somewhat bungled the geopolitical game in the Western Hemisphere. Russia should have used power projection in Latin America as a tit for tat response to NATO moves it disagreed with. But usually what would happen is that they'll temporarily deploy some trainers or contractors, send a few ships to patrol the region, announce new military contracts, and call it a day. Otherwise, with the long list of NATO/US provocations in Europe and the Middle East, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba should be little Kaliningrads. Just slowly escalate as NATO expand, deploy forces, conduct exercises, and become more belligerent.
-Lord I think the reason Russia did not prioritize the tit-for-tat approach with NATO is the fact that when shit hits the fan, the whole of NATO, including the US mainland is assured complete annihilation. Russia possesses missile systems with the capability to strike the US mainland in under 10-15 minutes, specifically submarine-launched ballistic missiles. While Russia has developed advanced hypersonic systems like the Avangard and Kinzhal, their primary means of rapid attack against the US relies on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), which can reach targets within the United States in the specified timeframe. |

I wonder why they feel the need to yap like a canary and destroy 47's credibility (whatever is left of it).
-Lord There was no way the US couldn't have been aware of the strikes before it happened. This fact is what is really irritating the Qatarists. Just that they're not saying it openly other than venting anger on Israel. Trump can kiss his Noble Peace prize dream goodbye. His impotency over Israel is so glaring. The Israelis ate singing now because they didn't envisage the reaction they're seeing now. From European countries now openly calling for a sport ban on Israel to all Arab nations holding an emergency meeting in Doha, the Yahooboy is becoming apprehensive and is trying to deflate by pointing fingers to his supposed lord in Washington that no one can question. This pattern was similar to the event that led to the 12D with Iran. |
