Many on the right AND the left are melting down because the MSM is reporting that Trump is letting the Qatar government build an airbase in Idaho. This is pure, 3D level bullshit.
First, it isn’t an operational base. It’s a training facility located within the US Air Force Base in Mountain Home, Idaho. That base has been used for decades as a training facility for US allies to train their pilots to fly aircraft that they have purchased from the US. Singapore was there before Qatar as the 428th Fighter Squadron, flying the F-15.
Second, this deal was made as a part of a purchase agreement that was signed eight years ago as a part of a $12 billion deal where Qatar paid for 36 F-15 fighters, with the option to double that number to 72 aircraft. The deal included the aircraft, weapons, maintenance support, spare parts, ground support equipment, and TRAINING on all of the above. This facility is part of the training for this equipment.
Stop freaking out. The US has done this for DECADES. There is nothing nefarious going on. Good Lord, you would think people would know by now that the MSM is lying.
