Listen I’m not invested in the military all that much so I don’t know, but intuitively I’m pretty confident that letting another country build an airbase on our land is a BAD idea,,, what do I know tho I’m just a shrimp
What is OP talking about. I haven’t heard anything about this and why would the US allow another country to build a airbase on our soil

Ask trump I'm sure it has nothing to do with the giant jet he was gifted

Tbf it’s not an airbase, but he’s allowing Qatari Air Force to build their own facility within one of our bases in Idaho. Which is arguably a bit worse bc why are we giving foreign militaries (esp one that we don’t have a strong alliance with) access to our bases

Dumbass. Trump has been selling out to other countries since he took office. A baby could’ve seen this from miles away. “It’s not true” this is literally you bro 😂

I guess that just got announced. Quatr is our friend. Having extra F-15 fighter jets has a lot of strategic and military advantages. Also I think we have an airbase in Qatar too so it makes sense

Yes this is fucked. We have programs to train foreign pilots on F jets. There’s no need to let them build on/occupy our bases.

It’s Qatar you dunce. Sure, having a middle eastern country have a military base on our own land is a greattt deal, not like they’re close to our military or other critical infrastructure. F-15 jets that are Qatar’s that were not gonna be able to use is “good” for us somehow?😂

Singapore has been training on F-15s there since 2009

This deal was provisionally approved by Obama’s state department in 2016 and signed in 2017 Trump’s secretary of Defense
