Those rascally scamps!

So, the Pentagon refuses to say anything bad about Qatar, which hosts Al Udeid AB, and the FBI has apparently confirmed that the Russkis were behind a hack of the Qatari government information agency, but Trump is totes okay with the various Sunni monarchies and dictatorships blackball ing Qatar, because Saudi Terraist Orb.
I feel like Trump is the kind of guy who would brag about a deal he got on a rug from the souk, too.

NOGAF, Hilary lost.
It's not often a global "have" like Qatar gets fucked with. Clearly the Saudis, Emiratis and Egyptians have it in for Qatar.
Still trying to figure this one out
It couldn't be about the long running feud between Saudi Arabia and Qatar over natural gas, specifically Qatars dominance in production and exporting which allows it independence from Saudi Arabia.
Naw.
Russian hacking is only interesting in that the Qataris are screaming about it and the US confirmed that it did in fact occur. Trump visit might account for timing, the arms deal less so, since the "deal" was really just PR surrounding sales to SA that have been in the works since The Obummer administration and that may or may not ever actually happen.
