Saudi-Emirati Trade Wars
It is obvious that the Saudis and Emiratis are not feeling each other at this moment in time.
First it was the GCC Central Bank episode (see HERE & HERE).
Then, UAE freight was choked.
Then, all UAE residents felt the effects.
Now, ‘poor’ Saudi Arabia won’t pay its debts despite the UAE’s 'ire.'
Which is a shame really; the Iranians have just tested their missiles and have proven to everyone that they have the capability to strike every single Emirate in the UAE federation (and every GCC nation for that matter). It will only be a matter of time before these long range missiles will be nuclear tipped.
UPDATE: Dr Abdullah Al Shayji, a professor of International Relations and the head of the American Studies Unit at Kuwait University senses the loomong crises and pleads, as I do, for the GCC to get its act together.

Ah! I think there's too much at stake for the crazies in the Persian government if they were to "attacl" the GCC nations. It'd be too much of a loss and really not worth it, I think.
