ALERT: Trump Foreign Policy Alive And Kicking Qatar (Butt) Deep State -1 Trump +1

And the UAE made it illegal to show sympathy for it

Qatar Is Fucked and I am 100% sure American President DONALD TRUMP has Everything to do with it.

---------------------------------------------

Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates severed diplomatic relations with Qatar, accusing it of supporting Islamist terrorist groups and Iran.
They cut transport links, making it difficult for the country to import and export goods.
Citizens are worried about food shortages.
Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world and can protect its banks — but there are reports of deals being put on hold and investors looking to pull out money altogether.
The socioeconomic impact is already hitting hard — and it has only been three days since the announcement.
Qatar's unprecedented slide into a potential socioeconomic death spiral started almost immediately after Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates severed diplomatic relations with the country, which they accused of supporting Islamist terrorist groups and Iran.

While Qatar denies the accusations, relations are now so strained between the powerful Arab states that not only are diplomatic relations suffering, but key transport links are already being severed, and the economy is starting to feel the squeeze.

The UAE essentially just made it illegal for citizens to feel sorry for what is happening to Qatar. The UAE-based newspaper Gulf News and the pan-Arab channel Al Arabiya reported that the UAE had barred people from publishing expressions of sympathy toward Qatar.

The punishment? As much as 15 years imprisonment and a minimum fine of 500,000 dirhams (£105,446 or $136,115). UAE Attorney-General Hamad Saif al-Shamsi told Gulf News:

"Strict and firm action will be taken against anyone who shows sympathy or any form of bias towards Qatar, or against anyone who objects to the position of the United Arab Emirates, whether it be through the means of social media, or any type of written, visual or verbal form."

Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world — but that doesn't matter
Qatar is one of the richest nations on the planet by gross domestic product per capita. It is the 18th-most-competitive country, according to the World Economic Forum's benchmark Global Competitiveness Report.

It is a small nation of just 2.4 million people, most of whom are foreign workers.
