Who is behind in Qatar Crisis? The new Saudi Crown prince and Donald Trump’s hidden agenda

Moments after the Saudi Arabia led Blockade was in action President of America Donald Trump tweeted this

So good to see the Saudi Arabia visit with the King and 50 countries already paying off. They said they would take a hard line on funding… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 6, 2017

…extremism, and all reference was pointing to Qatar. Perhaps this will be the beginning of the end to the horror of terrorism! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 6, 2017

This goes to say that he had a lot to do with the current crisis in the middle-east that is focused on Qatar.

It all began when President Trump visited the Riyadh Convention with other Gulf countries to “bring an end to terrorism”.

But we can rewind it back a few months back to when the now, crown prince rekindled diplomatic relations with America when he met Trump.

But as seen in the history of America, it is not a sense of righteousness that drives their interest in war but rather money.

When George w bush tried to justify his reasons for the invasion of Iraq people which can best be summed up as “Saddam Hussein has chemical and biological weapons and even nuclear weapons that he plans to give to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda who will then smuggle them into the United States and kill tens of thousands of people.” Opponents of the invasion suspected Bush was actually motivated by a desire to control Iraq’s large oil reserves.

It’s an open secret that the Iraq invasion that killed 100, 000 people and destroyed the economy of Iraq had no virtuous motivation.

It also no secret that Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world, a feat that surpasses its tiny geography due to its gas rich land and sea. Qatar supplies the world 15% share of natural gas. Also Qatar is in good relations with the US as well as other powerful countries but due to its affiliation to Shiite Middle East countries that the Saudi sees as a threat.

Nevertheless, the combination of a bloodthirsty Saudi crown prince and a business president known for being a better business man is not a good combination for the Middle East. The President is playing the oldest trick in the book “divide and rule” and the blockade against Qatar is just the beginning for the dismantling of the tight relationship the Middle East countries are known to have.

Here are reasons why the new appointed crown Prince Mohammad Salman and President Donald trump’s rekindled diplomatic relations coupled with the Qatar blockade is due to a different interest than one that wants to stop terrorism.

Prince Mohamad Salman, ever since his appointment as defense minister, has seen through the proxy war in Yemen that has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and also resulted in severe famine and disease breakout in the area. His lack of stability can further worsen crisis on both sides of the break if he decides to take military action. Saudi Arabia sees Qatar as a state lesser than itself due to its size and considerably later start in the energy business but Qatar sudden rise in status, economy and power is something that became indigestible for Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is threatened by Qatar’s involvement in rebuilding Syria, which might add territory to oil and liquid gas and Al Jazeera; something which the Saudis would never accept. In the last two years, Mohammed bin Salman, as the new crown prince is often called, was put in charge of Saudi Arabia’s two most important portfolios — defense and the oil industry. He made the diplomatic rounds last month, visiting President Donald Trump in Washington and President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. In 2015, when Mohammed bin Salman initiated the Saudi attack on the Houthi rebels in Yemen — whom Saudi Arabia regards as Iranian proxies. The Yemen operation hasn’t gone well. Though the Saudis are still involved, their lack of military success must have shown them the importance of always acting in concert with the U.S. As trying to appease the a $100 billion deal to purchase U.S. weapons, the Saudi-initiated blockade is in fact it being angered with Qatar for maintaining a relationship with Iran rather than for “funding terrorism” and pleasing Trump with a $270,000 investment in his hotel business. Therefore Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Trump, have partnered as they both have anti-Iran intentions. Also Qatar also gradually overtook Saudi Arabia as a regional leader entrusted to resolve civil disputes, frequently hosting warring factions from Afghanistan, Sudan, Lebanon, and the Palestinian territories for reconciliation talks. At other times, Qatar supported the emergence of alternative centers of power around the region, launching the Al Jazeera network in 1996 with the aim of bringing to light views that had been largely suppressed by regional dictatorships, including those of the Islamist opposition. Unlike its neighbors, Qatar lent its support for the removal of authoritarian regimes in Egypt and Tunisia, and generally endorsed the possibilities offered by a new era of political openness for repressed populations around the region. Saudi Arabia resonates with Egypt in this matter and feel that if these opposing thoughts are endorsed by Qatar it could destabilize their grip over the gulf. The demands issued by Saudi and Emirati leaders have little to do with fighting “terrorism” and everything to do with barring all forms of dissent in a region where the rise of violent opposition has often been linked to the absence of political freedoms.

Saudi Arabia is using this opportunity to turn Qatar into a vassal state so it can take control Qatar’s wealth and Al Jazeera’s opinion on their dictatorship.
