The US is providing security guarantees to Qatar? When did the Senate vote on those?
- fakedang 8mo agoLast I checked, Qatar was kicking out US personnel from Al Udeid because of Trump's threats to use it as a forward base against Iran.
- lifestyleguru 8mo agoQatar is obviously not happy from Israeli strikes on their territory.
- rapsey 8mo agoThe US is the security guarantor of the worlds shipping lanes. This is a corner stone of US led globalism. Read any geopolitical comentator or book and it will be there.
- RandomLensman 8mo agoHow does that relate to a security guarantee for Qatar?
- csomar 8mo agoThey have a large military base there and provide arms and training. They do the same for the rest of the Gulf countries except Iran.
- RandomLensman 8mo agoNot the same as a security guarantee.

Treaties aren't the only mechanism of security guarantees. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/assuring-the-security-of-the-state-of-qatar/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/assu...
- RandomLensman 8mo agoNote the word "assuring" not "guaranteeing" (or "this assurance" in Sec 2 d).
- dragonwriter 8mo agoThose are literally synonyms.
- RandomLensman 8mo agoThey are not in this context. They have pretty specific meanings.
