Saudi Crown Prince: Qatar problem is very very small
 [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... 's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman described the Gulf rift with Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... as a "very very small problem" in an interview on Thursday with Rooters at the Public Investment Forum in Riyadh. Crown Prince Mohammed said that the current issue with Qatar did not affect investment and stressed that the leadership is committed to have the Kingdom safe, stable and far away from any disturbances. "We are very committed to have our country safe, far away from any disturbance. I will say one thing, that the only country in the Middle East where that safety and stability track-record goes for Saudi Arabia," the Crown Prince said. "Saudi Arabia has the best track-record and has proven itself strongly in each problem in the Middle East and the world and handled it and went on to be more powerful." The Crown Prince added that the war in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... ongoing with a goal of preventing the transformation of the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... militias to a new Hezbollah on Saudi borders. "We’re pursuing until we can be sure that nothing will happen there like Hezbollah again, because Yemen is more dangerous than Leb. It’s next to Bab al-Mandab so if something happens there, that means 10 percent of world trade stops. This is the crisis," he said. Posted by: Fred 2017-10-27 |
