Yeah that isn't a list that suggests the Saudis are interested in compromise. It is now far more likely than not that qatar will be expelled from GCC and become an Iranian ally.

How about Saudi military occupation and integration into Saudi-Arabia?

If Saudis can annex Qatar, we should recognize Russia taking Crimea back from Ukraine.

Interestingly, McDonald's, Burger King, and Domino's all "swore allegiance" to Crown Prince Salman.

I didn't know any of these eateries were in Saudi Arabia.

Fast food and shopping malls are what pass for culture these days in most Gulf states.

Burger King swore allegiance to a Crown Prince? A king can't be a vassal of a prince!

Perhaps they're actually Burghers?

Women will now be able to drive in SA as of next year https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/26/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-women-drive.html

Before the end of the century, women will have more rights in SA than in Israel.

What is this even supposed to mean?
