I have never seen a modern country that dares to host 9/11 terrorists, supports extremism ideologies, and openly fights countries that try to defeat terrorism.

They are out because they want to pump beyond their quota. An attempt to bankrupt Saudis after their marvelous breakout from Islamist ideologies.

This is nothing but a laundry list of Saudi/UAE talking points re: Qatar. (The Saudi rulers are in dispute with Qatar largely because the latter refuses to muzzle Al Jazeera from criticising them or their regional allies).

No, but because Al Jazeera is the CNN of Al Qaeda. If you are a millennial who does not remember 9/11, here is a reminder: https://www.conservativereview.com/news/al-jazeera-promotes-...

Al Jazeera is one of the few places I can find news that isn't slanted toward eternal war. It's fitting that a military-industrial complex greenbean stooge would dislike it. Here's a clue: you're not allowed to bitch about downvotes with a green account.

Then maybe you should get glasses. If you give me a map of the middle east and I point at a random country the chance that they do all of these things (according to some people) would be almost 100%.

I carefully used the word “modern”. This excludes religious theocracies such as Iran and dictatorships like Syria, or failed states like the Hezbollah controlled Lebanon.

Qatar presents itself as a modern country that respects global order, when it is nothing but a terrorist nation that worked as the PR firm of Osama Bin Ladin.

Do you mean Saudi instead of Qatar?

Wasn't Osama Saudi and wasn't the funding for 9/11 from Saudi?

Qatar is a relatively small oil producer. It is unlikely that they could affect the price of oil or create real economic distress for Saudi Arabia.
