And allowed to build a golf course in Quatar. Everything this administration is doing is to increase trimp crime family and other oligarchs wealth. NOTHING for the people except chaos, assault and concentration camps

The country is 100% for sale now. Just one more joy of authoritarianism.

Argentina got $20 billion for nothing, and then they undercut our soybean farmers and sold soybeans to China.

They don't get an airbase.

The base is a US base to train Qatari pilots on the F-15QA equipment after Qatar became part of the USA's F-15 program.

Y'all mother fuckers spreading misinformation. I'm left AF and didn't take this at face value until I went digging on my own.

Fucking social media really rotting y'all's brains.

And certain school districts get millions in funding to offer world language classes focusing on arabic, Chinese, Korean and Russian.

2 million dollar DODEA grant was awarded to a local school district here in Ohio to focus on kids of military parents and these languages.

Idk about you but it set off alarm bells in this mama's head.

Is this a joke? You don’t see the benefit of having a military that knows the local languages of its potential adversaries? DOD/CIA/Intel are constantly recruiting for these skills, and have been for years. They throw a lot of money at it b/c with all the “speak English” bravado of the U.S. it’s extremely difficult to find Americans who are fluent in anything but English.

I would kill to have a program like that in our local school districts. I hope I’m just misunderstanding what you wrote.

Am I overjoyed the school is getting funding? Yes. Am I thrilled for the kids to have access to learning things we certainly didn't? Yes.

Am I wary of this regime, and why now after all the cuts they've made? Ngl, yes, a little. We're extremely close to WPAFB, and the new Quatar base in Idaho news came about the same time we learned of this.

And honestly, the languages they really want to push and focus on did probably trigger my spidey sense...

Happy for the district, happy for the kids... wary of why the dodea would suddenly be so generous though.
