Turmoil in the Middle East. Qatar in trouble
 
Well this has to be music to our ears. Qatar diplomatic ties to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt severed. Qatar Airways not allowed to fly over or into these countries. This will be very damaging to the ME3 and help us in eradicating the ME3 from further expansion in the USA. This is just the beginning of the end in the Middle East.

Qatar is in trouble for paying off the devil in order to save their own citizen hostages.

That has ticked off its Gulf neighbors. Meanwhile, the US is still committed to Qatar and will have no change to status quo:

We have a big base there. No good alternative options.

Unrest around the world is bad news for all airlines.

If you can name a time in modern history where there wasn't unrest around the world I'd like to know. Just since aviation has been around even.

Yup. Along the same reasons we are so cozy with Saudia Arabia. Who cares about the worst violator of human rights in the Middle East (Kindom of SA), as long as they provide us bases and a strategic location?

:rolleyes:
