In reply to the discussion: Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan Angers U.S., Israel, Egypt With Mursi Defense [View all]Alamuti Lotus
(3,093 posts)the Zionists and the Gulf dictators (minus Qatar) remain in solid agreement with their support of the fascist military clique, now Erdogan breaks ranks. I would ordinarily assume that disagreement on this matter would not be too big of a deal in the context of other things going on, but Erdogan's statement is a pretty serious broadside. The fact that it empirically appears to be true makes it all the more surprising that it is said at all.
I do wonder where Qatar is going to fall on this matter now; the Ikhwan's victory in Egypt was the old Qatari regime's pet project, and its overthrow by the military was a means of KSA "putting them in their place" (amongst other side benefits). The new, young emir has since kept very quiet and apparently has meekly learned the lesson that his father never did--opposing the Wahhabi-Zionist programme is futile. But with Turkey coming out against the fascist gang and its foreign plotters, will the more traditional Saudi-Qatari rivalry rekindle?
