"The nation of Qatar has unfortunately been a funder of terrorism, and at a very high level," Mr. Trump said on Friday at the White House. He added "the time has come to call on Qatar to end its funding."

You should probably learn to read before you post links to articles...


The full arms sale, of over $20 billion for 72 F-15QA fighter jets, was notified in November 2016. This means it had already been authorized by congress and the executive branch, when President Obama was in office, before the Trump administration came into office.

In the same article:

"In the wake of the diplomatic crisis -- and Mr. Trump's public statements raising concern about alleged Qatari funding of terrorism -- there were questions about whether the arms deal would go through. However, on Wednesday, in Washington, Defense Secretary James Mattis formally signed the letter of offer and acceptance for the purchase."

So there was no salescontract till Trump agreed to sell.

Trump makes look the US ( and himself) as a joker:
  • He tells Qatar are terrorist and then he sells them weapons. Obama sold nothing. Trump did.
  • Yesterday 2 US warships arrived in Doha to be part of military excercises together with the Qatar army. So together with the terrorists? LOL.
  • Rex Tillerson said a few days ago that the blockade against Qatar should be lifted. :wtf:
  • The US has his biggest military basis in tehe Middle East (Airfield Al Udeid) in Qatar. So in the middle of the terrorists state. LOL.
  • "Qatar signs LOA for the purchase of the F-15QA fighter jets creating 60,000 new jobs in 42 states across the United States". Trump could stop the deal but his minister signed yesterday the sale. Trump helped the terrorists with weapons. LOL. For a commission?

We have a big base there as well.

This episode is rich in irony. The Qataris didn't finance and pull off 9/11. Some Saudis did, some connected to the government. The Saudi's financed ISIS, with Qatar's help. Qatar supports terrorist groups and islamist shock troops. So do the Saudis.

A real leader would deprive them both of their oil assets as payback. They've used it unwisely.

And? TPP and Paris Deals were made by the Obama admin too and yet Trump canceled it.

Trump is the PRESIDENT, he is selling these weapons when he could have stopped
