Hamid Hussain, a SWJ contributor, has sent the following commentary, which is on the attachment and ends with:

The price of brinkmanship of leaders is usually paid by their subjects and ripple effect goes beyond the borders of their countries. Leaders surrounded by court jesters and with modus operandi of making decisions on whims and in a fit of anger without serious thought and without informed counsel usually end up in blind alleys. Everyone makes mistake but a wise man grasps his folly early and acts quickly to minimize damage from an error.

An Indian SME commentary on the crisis, global politics aside India has a significant human interest - ah, kith & kin:

In these circumstances it would be advisable for India to keep contingency plans to protect the interests of 650,000 Indian workers who constitute a quarter of the 2.6m Qatari population.

On Trump's tweets:

Trump did not follow this convention perhaps due to his impulsive nature or immaturity in handling sensitive foreign policy matters.
