Seriously?
Do any other countries have air bases in the US?
I’m asking about the other way around. How many non-US bases are in the US already?
True, but they were built under the pretence of protecting those nations from the Soviets during the cold war.
Simply put, if a person is voting specifically with the interests of the united states and not other countries in mind, those are arguably beneficial to us, whether or not they've caused issues for other countries (they have), just as this is not beneficial and indeed possibly actively harmful to the states
Zero as far as I'm aware. There are iirc two joint air bases.
I've met some from Canada as well
Fuck no. We have had them come here on a routine basis. Worked with multiple nations that we host, but never gave them their own facility. This shit is treason.
Qatari United Emiri Air Force - or QUEAF for short.
Maybe we should call this new pact the Trans-World Action Team
Why does Qatar need a military base in the US? Are they attacking/defending the US? Canada? Mexico?
I love the amount of shit that is being lost here on both sides with this.
In 2017 Trump sold a bunch of F-15s to Qatar with an agreement to train pilots here in the US. In 2022 Biden sold Qatar a bunch of drones with the agreement to train pilots here in the US. There are a few reasons this makes sense, the topography around the airbase, the size of Qatar, the F-15 squadrons already in Mountain Home and their training infrastructure, the fact that Singapore has been training there since 2008, and some other shit.
Qatar isn't building an airbase, they are building a facility on an existing USAF airbase. A facility could be a small building or it could be a few buildings. We don't know and until we do I don't see why everyone is so riled up about a 3 and 8-year-old deal to train F-15 pilots.
Seriously, what's the deal? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there was probably some Quid Pro Quo especially knowing how much Donny loves to "renegotiate" deals and how he got that fancy plane from them but seriously what the fuck?
If I have the facts wrong school me, otherwise let's focus on the real shit.
That's to help the traitor trump attack american citys and pockets of the military that dare stand against him and his tiny tiny tiny penis/hands
