[Peace-discuss] FW: Qatar Crisis: 'It's Clear That Saudis Have Been Emboldened by Trump's Visit'

[stuartnlevy]

The Duckworth staffer I spoke with yesterday said he'd gotten ten calls about the issue within just the preceding hour, and he wasn't the only person taking calls.  Durbin's office had been getting calls too, but didn't say how many.    It's being noticed!

University of Illinois Professor of International Law Francis Boyle told Sputnik the Trump administration was irresponsibly supporting the Saudi aggressive policy against Qatar to advance its own anti-Iranian agenda.



"It appears that President Trump is encouraging Saudi Arabia to put the screws into Qatar in order to force it into line with their hostile anti-Iranian Agenda along with the other GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] states," he said.



If Qatar does not capitulate to the Saudi demands, Riyadh would probably carry out an exercise in 'regime change' or even outright invasion as it did in Bahrain, Boyle warned.



"This is also a harbinger of far worse things to come against Iran," he said.



Boyle is the author of "Destroying World Order: US Imperialism in the Middle East Before and After September 11."
