Obviously the Emiri Guard could not be trusted which the job.
Yepp, but Iranian revolutionary guards in the backyard of 10 K US troops? Can't imagine that this is possible.

Historically EK and QR had a "gentleman's agreement" in which pilots could not leave one company for the other. In my view that new situation may be beneficial for EK Boeing guys tired of the lack of leave and very heavy rosters.

Well I'm sure I'm not the only one praying to every God there possibly could be that this is fake news. The region would not survive this. It also seems to be moving waayyy too quickly over something that really requires nothing more than a stern telling off and a promise not to do that again.

I certainly hope that this are fake news. But it seems that the whole mess escalates very quickly.

Yeah but numerous stern telling offs haven't worked in the past. And now the Saudis are all pumped up since they started a military confrontation with Yemen. They are in fighting mode and want to take care of all their problems at once.

If the Saudis believe that Qatar's help or at least their less than complete hostile attitude toward Iran is in some way helping the Houthis in Yemen then as part of their plan in Yemen they might well want the Qatari's to quit their independent foreign policy immediately​. Therefore, attacking Qatar could well be part of the overall Yemen policy.

If Trump has green lighted this the Americans aren't going to do anything, they'll just sit and watch from their air base.

Not so cocksure now, eh Iron Butt

Your Mr Trump has done an incredible job with the Middle East

This has nothing to do with Trump etc...This has been simmering for years. If you have lived in the ME for more than 4 or 5 years you would know this.

Ironbutt57 is spot on.

Blocking the QR website in the UAE but still importing a lot of gas from Qatar. That's pragmatism
