In the past few weeks, Qatar has been all over the news with flashy headlines of a $400 million luxury jet that the country gifted to President Donald Trump.
We are letting Qatar bribe there way to ruin us from within. A small extreme country with an Islamist agenda that consistently supports terror (from al Qaeda to Hamas) is poisoning us from within with peanuts (ultimately negligent amounts of money but well targeted...). A country with an economy smaller than Oklahoma's (they are rich per capita, but so what...) has a propaganda and bribing machine focused on our schools, universities, media and, yes, government. We have to demand from our representatives to boycott Qatar (as their neighbors have done, though we ruined that), get our troops out of there (transfer Al Udaid to the UAE), until they completely change their ways (which I do not believe will happen, though they will pretend to). We should boycott any event sponsored by Qatar, any sports team with their name on the shirt and any organization that accepts their money. This is self-defense.
It is often said that the best approach to attack the drug cartels is to reduce demand. We provide a market, and they supply it.
Qatar? We provide a market for its investment and it uses its resources to buy its way into that market.
If oil and gas exist in a supply and demand market, why do we limit our extraction of it, allowing counties like Qatar to profit so much? Of all the countries in the world with oil and gas resources, are there others that impose ideological restrictions on extraction, driving the price up higher?

This was an amazing interview! My mind is officially blown! And not in a good way...
this disturbing report is the most important story that the free press ever published--both solomon and block are brilliant investigative reporters.
