The same Qatar that gave Trump a free jet? I'm shocked... Well not that shocked.
It used to be the US building bases in other people's countries. How the turn tables.
Trump is so "AMERICA FIRST" that he's letting foreign militaries to set up soverign bases here!
So so so so much sketchy illegal shit is gonna go through there lol
Makes sense. They'll use it to do whatever dirty work they want done and then feign ignorance and plausible deniability because Qatar is a sovereign nation.

I can but imagine the delightful interactions to come.
EDIT: Well, maybe the people in question will stay on-base. Germany had some facility at another USAF base that they used for training that IIRC they shut down due to military spending cuts a few years back. I dunno if the people there stayed on-base or what. If you figure that Qatar will probably do something similar, maybe give some idea of the model.

A facility at Holloman AFB, in New Mexico. Germany closed their facility in 2019, and another at Fort Bliss, from said military funding cuts.

What are the chances the Qataris are used to deploy drones on people under the guise of "training"? (My cynical mind at work here.)
