Here's our explainer on the Qatar/Gulf crisis, which I think helps to shed light on why Trump's tweets today matter https://t.co/84Gy2jPkKh — PolitiTweet.org

That hedging will be quiet, so it’s not going to immediately obvious. But, after today, what choice do allies have? — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

The USA is still the biggest game in town, so it’s not like allies will all flee tmr. But Qatar incident gives strong incentive to hedge. — PolitiTweet.org

How many allies have to now ask: Is our US insurance plan also worthless? Can another ally get Trump to abandon us overnight? — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

…Qatar’s biggest aim in accepting the base was to get US guarantee against Saudi Arabia. Their US insurance plan turned out to be worthless. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Trump's tweets pretty strongly imply that he is supporting the blockade bc Saudi Arabia, Qatar’s chief rival, convinced him to. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

It is true that Qatar is a problematic ally, and there are non-ridiculous cases for abandoning it. What’s troubling is why & how it was done — PolitiTweet.org
