Apparently he actually said a "Quatari air force facility" which is not a base. |

Explain the bases in Germany and Japan |

That makes more sense. But these times are so messed up that what he actually said seemed perfectly plausible. |

+1 And that's what it is. A facility within the U.S. Air Force base, owned and operated by the U.S. This agreement has also been in the works for years. Not saying I agree or disagree with this, but facts matter. But the facility being built at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho isn't a separate base at all — it is a group of buildings that will be built to handle training and maintenance for Qatari troops — and the agreement with Qatar has been in the works for years. “What we expect is it to be squadron operations and hangars for the F-15QA, because that's the Qatari version of the jet that they bought through foreign military sales,” Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek said. “It is definitely still a U.S. Air Force base.” In fact, on-site training agreements with allies are common in the U.S. The Republic of Singapore 428th Fighter Squadron Buccaneers have been hosted at the base since 2008. German forces trained at the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico for decades. New facilities to train international F-35 fighter pilots were completed at Ebbing Air Force Base in Arkansas last year. The base is just outside of the town of Mountain Home, which is home to about 17,000 people. The new facilities will be built by local construction crews, and local workers will likely be employed at the base to support the training operations, Stefanek said. The construction and other associated expenses will be funded by Qatar. Security at the base will continue to be handled by U.S. Air Force personnel, she said, and anyone going to the base will still have to show the proper credentials in order to enter. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/things-to-know-about-the-qatar-training-facility-planned-for-an-idaho-air-force-base/ar-AA1Of7Kk?ocid=BingNewsSerp |

Just keep telling yourself this. Pretend it’s not real. Sign your kid up to fight for Hamas so Trump can build a hotel in Gaza. |

I am old enough to remember people being outraged about saudi's being trained to fly in the USA before 9/11. |

Yes, we are paying Qatari military, but not our own. |
