“Tucker Carlson’s sit-down with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani—Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar—set off the usual flurry of reactions. Some saw it for what it was: an illuminating conversation about geopolitics, diplomacy, and the U.S.-Qatar alliance. Others, as is customary, seized the opportunity to distort, misrepresent, and bemoan things they don’t fully understand.”

“Let’s be clear: if this interview made anything obvious, it’s that many so-called experts still don’t grasp the basic mechanics of diplomacy. One fact emerged from this discussion with the clarity of a Supreme Court ruling: Qatar’s strategic partnership with the United States isn’t happenstance—it is the product of decades of cooperation."

Taking note of the recent interview with Qatar’s Prime Minister, Polistratics’ Nawaf Al-Thani shares his thoughts on the long standing US-Qatar alliance pertaining to military, diplomacy, and humanitarian leadership, and lays out what is regularly ignored when discussing Qatar’s role in the international sphere.
