Qatar must know that USA is its worst bet -Read some Machiavelli and act and not regret rather than not acting and regretting

1. QATAR- A STRATEGIC RESPONSE
The Qatar Crisis is economic at heart while various diversionary demands lace the agenda of the anti Qatar coalition.
Broadly speaking Qatars case at the strategic level is strong although appearances deceive.
Two major Gulf Arab states are with Qatar i.e Oman and Kuwait .Qatar has two main opponents , Saudi Arabia and UAE.
Both lack the strategic resolution to invade Qatar.
Qatars strategic response needs to be as below :--
Military
1. Conclude a military protocol or alliance with Iran so that Qatars sovereignty is secured by an Iranian military presence.On
the surface this may seem difficult but , this would lead to Qatars long term security in the end.
2.Reorganise and expand its army with ethnic and sectarian minorities like a (1) Hazara Shia Division recruited from
Afghanistan which has trained manpower. (2) An Uzbek Division recruited from Uzbeks in Afghanistan.
3.Offer a naval base to Russia .
4.Offer a naval base to China .
Economic
1.The easiest and most vulnerable economic warfare attack is UAE whose gas supply must be shut down by Qatar. This
would be the simplest way to rock the boat and will hit UAE very hard.
2.Simultaneously Qatar must offer Russia major oil and gas incentives even if this means economic loss or break even for
Qatar so that Russia is weaned off from KSA.
3.Qatar should offer Afghanistan a major agro business package supporting farms developed in Pakistan specifically to
supply Qatar foodstuffs.This would be a soft power incentive for Pakistan.
Intelligence and Security
1.The most dangerous threat that Qatar faces is internal and this centers around rival factions of Qatars royal family.
2.Qatar needs to revamp its security services with dedicated agency to deal only with royal family and their entire spectrum
of activities.
3.These should include state of the art electronic and cyber surveillance and complete movement control.
Covert Level
1.At the covert level Qatar needs to support proxy intelligence wars in states who want to invade and destroy Qatar.
2.Again at the covert level Qatar needs to support Yemeni houthis.
3.This covert level strategy would be the Qatari strategy of indirect approach.
Media
1.While Al Jazeera is state run television , Qatar needs to invite private media houses in Qatar so that Al Jazeera alone is
not identified as the source of all evils.
2.Particularly the Palestinian diaspora should be exploited here as they are highly educated and talented.
