If shit hits the fan we might as well annex Qatar and be over with it. That 45 year old country should not even have existed quite frankly given that there was never an independent state based in what is today Qatar.
For millennia during the pre-Islamic era this part of the Arabian Peninsula was a part of ancient civilizations, empires and kingdoms native to what is modern-day KSA and ruled by people from what is modern-day KSA and inhabited by the same people just like today. Similarly during the Islamic era, KSA and Qatar were part of the same states 95% of the time, which were founded by people from modern-day KSA and ruled by people from modern-day KSA.
Not only that 95% of all the 300.000 or so Qatari are originally from modern-day KSA and belong to ancient Arab tribes native to modern-day KSA. Almost all of them migrated from KSA to neighboring Qatar within the past 250 years. The Qatari royal family is also originally from KSA (Najd).
It would be better for KSA, the GCC, Arab world and Qatar (on the long run) to become a part of a strong regional power instead of being forced to rely on 2 + million expats and being outnumbered 1 to 10.
It's not going to happen today (continued political, social and military unification of the Arabian Peninsula is inevitable eventually but that is another discussion) but it's not needed. A change of policy or changing the few Al-Thani's in power (like they used to do themselves in coups) would be enough. However even if 5% of what has been reported is true about Hamad and son, they will have to be taught a lesson. If such a green lights exist, I will say go for the kill.
