Willy waving in the Middle East is quite impressive. Taller towers, golder plated cars, showing your dissatisfaction by building a moat around your rival

LOL - to be fair Qatar Govt is despised by the rest of the GCC ... seen to give implicit or explicit support for terrorist groups or sympathetic to their causes.

... I’ve recently been living in Bahrain ... and Qatar is cut off in many ways ..... no flights allowed between Doha and other Gulf states .... means higher fares and less choice ...

It’s also amusing how Saudis particularly like neighbours like Bahrain where they can go party / drink / dance ... whatever at weekends

Keeping to strict religious principles of only being seen in public with female family members — many Saudis seem to have Thai or Chinese neices in Juffair.

"A Saudi official hinted on Friday the kingdom was moving forward with a plan to dig a canal that would turn the neighbouring Qatari peninsula into an island, amid a diplomatic feud between the Gulf nations.

“I am impatiently waiting for details on the implementation of the Salwa island project, a great, historic project that will change the geography of the region,” Saud al-Qahtani, a senior adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, said on Twitter.

The plan, which would physically separate the Qatari peninsula from the Saudi mainland, is the latest stress point in a fractious 14-month long dispute between the two states."

I'm waiting for Saudi Arabia to discover that Qatar was the solid ground mass keeping them afloat and when they sever the link they sink

Beats trumps wall. Physically cut off your neighbour and turn them into an island.

Obviously Qatar doesn’t have much in the way of alcohol / clubs / gambling or Asian hookers ..... or Saudi would not be creating a moat - they’d be adding an expressway
