Qatar striking back at Israel sounds like a tale from the Arabian Nights Dream. With the USA behind Israel and with all the USA military bases in Qatar and Middle East, and with some Arab countries quietly shielding Israel and providing weapons to shoot down Iranian and Houthi missiles and even providing air bases for Israeli planes to take off, refuel and land, that is already a battle lost. At most it will be diplomatic pressure as always and I do not expect diplomatic pressure to do anything to make a difference after all the years of such diplomatic measures getting brushed aside. Rules only apply to others, not to them.
Just look at Gaza, and how the leaders of Arab and Muslim countries and the rest of the world just turning almost a blind eye to the atrocities going on in Gaza, with Governments just paying lip service by condemning what is going on. It is left to citizens of countries seeing the injustice and coming together to organize protest and ironically getting arrested for doing that. The whole world basically is letting the USA and Israel run riot and do what they like without impunity.
If this goes on, the world is not going to be a better place, and everyone is going to suffer the consequences.

Now, we have a closer view of another protest about to erupt at our doorstep. The Philippines is diving into another 'People's Power' movement. Looks like history is going to repeat itself - the same father and son effect.
Mickey Marcos should not keep antagonizing China thinking the USA is behind. And let not the Philippines try to blame China for its durian and mango problems. Patriotic Chinese are now boycotting mangos from the Philippines after boycotting durians from the Philippines earlier. The Philippines have mangos to spare, but netizens in China are urging their compatriots to boycott Philippine mangos and buy from Thailand. When there are good alternatives from Thailand, the call is making Philippine mango growers nervous. A word from the Chinese authorities may just awaken a tsunami that could kill the durian and mango farmers in the Philippines, the same as killing those soya bean and corn farmers in the USA. Not one bullet is necessary to put Mickey Mouse out of mischief. Do not underestimate the Chinese having no leverage to do that.
Marcos' sin is more personal. Going after his benefactor, Duterte. Duterte is dying in Brussel, imprisoned by the criminal ICC.
Would the Pinoys let their beloved president died in the hands of Marcos and the ICC?
People living in glass houses should not throw stones.
