  1. I am from Bahrain and never lift my country since borne. The fact that i can issuer you is “do not listen to Arabs who are not living in their countries”. what we are facing in here is something that goes back to hundreds of years not only a matter of 6 years, I mean the relation ship between Qatar and the rest of the GCC countries.

  2. Ahhhh, I see that Israel in at the root of this one too. Hmmmm. Saudi Arabia is a vassel state of Israel and everyone in countries like France knows this.

  3. what you hear on the news doesn’t always add up to what the really on the ground is. we should support the sovereignty of qatar which is what the other gcc countries are trying to limit.

  4. There is an old saying says that (to know who is on the right path then follow the arrows of the enemy) since a lot of people and governments want to see SAUDIA Arabia collapse and bankrupt out of hate and envy and the Saudis don’t attack or intervene in others business then i have no doubt that SAUDIA Is on the right path May the God help them to prevail.

      You are an idiot. People hate Salolis for two reasons. Those who hate them because they think they represent Islam, and those who hate them because they caused most problems in the ME, spent money creating terrorists when America said it was OK in the 1980s, then made them into evil in the 1990, when America said they are. You get the point. Go get some education about the history of your shot hole country instead of the fake history they taught you in school.

  5. ” 4 Gulf Countries, Saudi, Egypt, Bahrain, and UAE “!!!!!!!! Is he Serious !!!! hehe so now Egypt joined the GCC very interesting 😀 I guess RT is so much into details (Being sarcastic here)

  6. Why will no one talk about Qatar selling oil to China for ‘yuan’. The ‘petro-dollar’ is being challenged and has been the source of much of the wars over the years. Can we not have an adult conversation about this?

    • the dollar is finished , only the Saudis are supporting it , america buys Saudi oil with ,money they themselves print ,out of nothing , as the dollar is backed by nothing . the Saudis are fools .

  7. The real story is the Qatar and Iran deal to develop the pars LG fields..also the Qatar Iran Syria and Turkey pipeline to be connected to the Russian pipeline that is currently being built in Turkey to supply both Europe and China backed by gold-backed Chinese yuan. CHECKMATE US CORP.
