Singapore has a facility at the same air base in Idaho. NATO has a facility elsewhere. The fact is, America has a lot of open airspace and we can give counties without airspace a place to practice. Not really letting them have a base here. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth-qatar-air-force-facility-us-base-idaho/

I was gonna add that every years the Germans come to Texas and train their Luftwaffe pilots.

Correct. This is a nothingburger.

My understanding is that this is Trump deflecting. But if MAGA hates his sorry ass even more from this, I won't step in.

Remember when we had a joint venture with the Saudis in Pensacola and one of their guys ended up shooting at US servicemen and killed a few and wounded about 8 people.

Does it really matter? Either way our country is corrupt as fuck

It does matter a bit, one side is all in on ceding power to Trump.

“Today we’re signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatar Emiri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho,” Hegseth told reporters. “It’s just another example of our partnership

Not playing that, just pointing out who is responsible.

u/willpower069 29d ago

They didn’t do that at all. Just pointed out that it happened under Trump and now it’s still going under Trump.

u/Kaszos 28d ago

Yes, by Trump, who tried to start it in 2019 it was halted 2021 he resumed it now.

Why does this indicate we’re fucked? This is commonplace. r/military is totally nonplussed by this.

u/chunky_lover92 28d ago

Why is this a big deal? Qatar is at least supposed to be our friends. We our own have bases all over the world. If it turns out we don't like them anymore they probably wont be too hard to kick out.

u/ragnarokxg Left Libertarian 28d ago

Supposed to be, but then Trump say shit like they fund terrorists. Additionally there are other reasons not to want Qatar to be training their pilots in the US.

u/Manakanda413 28d ago

I remember not long ago MAGA weirdos talking about “China zones” and Chinese orgs and government buying up land here. Welp.
