Heard some rumours about a planned coup or "Palace Coup" in Qatar. Obviously just rumour and speculation at present, but interesting.
Dr Christopher Davidson, is a British expert on the Gulf. He has written several books on the Gulf countries like Dubai: The Vulnerability of Success, Abu Dhabi: Oil and Beyond and After the Sheikhs: The Coming Collapse of the Gulf Monachies
So he knows the region well. He took to Twitter this morning and had this to say.
> Further to this described bout of orchestrated 'Qatar-bashing', I expect Saudi-UAE promised on sidelines of Trump summit that all US....facilities in Qatar would be guaranteed as regime change is carried out (palace coup, or whatever). From the US perspective, this... I think, will help solve current US dilemma on Doha, given Dept Treasury's accumulating evidence on Qatar-linked extremist financing.

> In this sense, a new (UAE-managed) guard in Doha is a strategy for White House & DOD to head off growing Congress criticism on Qatar. In this context, there is no doubt this is a well organzied, pre-planned, multi-dimension 'readiness' PR campaign, to prepare ground.
That's probably why he said it in the bag, it's only going to be El Infierno. If you are warned, you will receive a report in the form of the Gulf Monachies](https://www.amazon.com/After-Sheikhs-Coming-Collapse-Monarchies/dp/019024450X).
I think he'd really benefit from reading After the Sheikhs more than anything, though of course those are deeper reads that would do pretty well to explain the subject. After the Sheikhs would probably give a basic enough idea of the proposed way that the Gulf States could fall apart, IMO. What do you think?
