From Syria to Gaza to Iran, Qatar is hijacking the Trump administration.
Syria’s Al Qaeda regime is massacring Kurds to free imprisoned ISIS terrorists, state sponsors of Hamas in Turkey and Qatar are being named to boards running Gaza and thousands of democracy protesters are being massacred in Iran while Al Jazeera defends the regime.
This isn’t American foreign policy, but it is Qatar’s foreign policy.
The White House’s foreign policy in the Muslim world is now virtually identical to Qatar’s foreign policy apart from Israel. And as thousands die in Iran after empty promises of support, there is a bigger picture here of institutional capture by a tiny and powerful Islamic terrorist state.
Viewed in isolation, the refusal to intervene in Iran might be mistaken for a determination to concentrate on America and China, but that does not explain why the Trump administration has dedicated time and prestige to propping up the Al Qaeda leader of Syria to the point of helping him out by releasing and importing ISIS terrorists to America.
Nor does it explain a convoluted plan for Gaza in which a top Qatari official supportive of Hamas and notorious for his alleged links to spying operations using ex-CIA agents to the ‘Gaza Executive Board’ and the entire plan to reconstruct Gaza. It’s certainly not helping Israel which has been vocal in opposing Qatar and fellow Hamas state sponsor Turkey from playing a role.
Nor does it even begin to explain why we’re negotiating with the Taliban to go back into Afghanistan with a U.S. military presence for ‘counterterrorism’ purposes when the terrorists whom we’re negotiating with, much as in Syria, are the ones in charge of the country.
There is a consistent throughline here and it isn’t America First, it isn’t ‘isolationism’, it isn’t Israel and it isn’t MAGA, but it very much is Qatar along with its Islamist allies: Turkey and Iran. And this throughline has an ominous similarity to Obama’s New Middle East policy and the way that it consistently empowered Islamist takeovers and protected Iran’s Islamist terror regime.
If we’re not intervening in Iran because we’re non-interventionists, why are we intervening then on behalf of Islamists everywhere from Syria to Gaza? Much as under Obama, who chose to intervene in Libya and Egypt, but not in Iran, the consistent pattern here is one of propping up Islamists, whether through intervention or non-intervention, with inconsistent rationalizations.
Iranian protesters are being massacred, Hamas and Al Qaeda are being propped up, not because it serves our national interests, but because it serves Qatar’s Jihadist agenda.
Qatar’s foreign policy objectives have been consistent and clear. It elevates and props up Islamic Jihadists and then offers its services in ‘negotiating’ with them. That means bringing an Al Qaeda affiliate to power in Syria, bringing the Taliban to power in Afghanistan through a fake deal during the first Trump administration, helping Hamas maximize its gains from Oct 7, and preserving the Islamic terrorist regime of the Ayatollahs that it is allied with in Tehran.
The MAGA revolution jettisoned much of the ‘foreign policy blob’ that Qatar had spent billions cultivating through investments in institutions like ‘Brookings’, and what replaced it was a refreshing breath of common sense in some arenas, but by the second term, the National Security Council and elements of the Pentagon had been poisoned by Koch appointees allied with Soros organizations which were in turn intertwined with Iranian foreign agents.
Qatar may have lost its original foreign policy blob, but it replaced it with a more ramshackle collection of businessmen with special access and special interests who echoed the same old Obama foreign policy of propping up Islamists while pretending they were something new.
The style was different, but the substance has proven to be the same.
President Trump’s foreign policy is good globally, when it confronts China, demands more responsibility from NATO, and challenges Latin American Marxist dictatorships, but that is the official State Department foreign policy as implemented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. When it comes to the Middle East however, there is a rogue foreign policy that has little in common with America First or Trump, but looks a whole lot like Obama’s old policies.
When it came to the Middle East, foreign policy was outsourced to shady operators like Tom Barrack and Steven Witkoff who were seen as having a better handle on the region because they had done business there. No one ever got around to vetting their actual interests.
Whatever their agendas are, there is little doubt about what they’ve done and who benefits.
What ISIS couldn’t accomplish in Syria with suicide bombings, it managed to pull off by putting Al-Jolani, now Ahmed Al-Sharaa, in a suit, and the world watched while ISIS terrorists were sprung from their jails, much as the Taliban had freed Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists after Qatar masterminded a deal with the Taliban that, much like Hamas, they were never going to keep. --->READ MORE HERE
