France will deploy military in Qatar because of the "weakening role" of the United States

53

Doha and Paris reached an agreement that would regulate the status of the French military in the emirate, reports Middle East Monitor.

A few days ago, senior Qatari officials met with French Defense Minister Florence Parley to discuss a number of issues, including the development of bilateral ties amid increasing tensions in the Persian Gulf region. Following the meeting, an agreement was signed on the legal status of the deployment of the French armed forces in this Middle Eastern country.



Currently, only American and British troops are located in Qatar, located mainly at the base of El Udeid.

Paris is increasingly striving to play a more active role in the Gulf region, the newspaper notes. And it's not just about Qatar. For example, France will provide the Saudis with radars to detect low-altitude targets. France itself often blames Washington for trying to "retreat" from the Middle East, notes its "weakening role" in the region.

Tensions […] escalated following Iran's seizure of European ships and its destruction of an American drone. Recently, many believe that Iran is behind the recent attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.

- writes Middle East Monitor.

According to the publication, Ms. Parley said France was forced to intervene because of the diminishing role of the United States in the Middle East.

      But France has no other problems, for example, the loss of tens of billions of dollars from the protest of the Yellow Vests, because they are also worried about the weakening "role of the United States" which, by the way, arranged these protests, because Macron decided to create an independent EU army instead of the NATO army .. ...

                        what wealth are you talking about? under the Communists, there were two types of wealth - spiritual (among the majority of the population) and illegally acquired (criminally punishable). You do not say that under the communists were all beggars?

            You can, Paris is actually very good if you compare it with Mars. Their politicians are more like "COLONIES OF RULERS" than French politicians. The question is who do they work for? Today, all the media talk about migrants for an example in Germany, but why they are silent about France. France itself is a dangerous country for a civil war, Mrs. Merkel must still work to achieve them. Macron sends the military to Siriu, Qatar Libiu, etc. across Africa, and France is rotting inside and quickly.
            POLICE IN PARIS IS AFRAID OF GOING TO DETERMINE THE QUARTER !!! Only if there is almost a military operation with a lot of equipment. In Marseille, most of the police ARAPI, the French do nothing there!
