WTF?

News broke over the weekend that Donny has authorized a Qatari military base on US soil….

Qatar’s military presence is set to grow on American soil with a new air force facility planned for Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the announcement Friday, calling it a significant step in the strategic partnership between the two nations.

“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.”

The new facility will house Qatari F-15 fighter jets along with a contingent of pilots. While the White House has not yet shared additional details, the move marks deepening military collaboration with one of America’s key allies in the Middle East.

Hegseth then shifted his remarks to the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, which he said would host a contingent of Qatari F-15 fighter planes and pilots to “enhance our combined training, increase lethality, [and] interoperability”.

Ali al-Ansari, Qatar’s media attache to the US, later clarified that the facility “will not be a Qatari airbase”.

“Qatar has made an initial 10-year commitment to construct and maintain a dedicated facility within an existing US airbase” to offer “advanced training and to enhance interoperability in defending and advancing our shared interests around the world,” al-Ansari said in a statement.

As with almost everything coming from those mindless tools in the admin the announcement was met with confusion….so much so that Hogsbreath had to once again ‘clarify’ what was meant in the earlier statement….

After announcing on Friday that the Trump administration would be providing an air base in Idaho to Qatar, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth backtracked, issuing a clarification on social media in response to a growing backlash.

“Important clarification,” Hegseth wrote in the post, published to X. “The U.S. military has a long-standing partnership w/ Qatar, including today’s announced cooperation w/ F-15QA aircraft. However, to be clear, Qatar will not have their own base in the United States—nor anything like a base. We control the existing base, like we do with all partners.”

In response to inquiries sent to the Office of the Secretary of Defense by defense news outlet Defense One, the office said, “The establishment of an enduring location for Qatari F-15 aircraft at Mountain Home Air Force Base provides Qatar with strategic flexibility to operate and sustain their advanced fighter aircraft.”

WTF?

If Qatar builds this base will it be like the embassy….Qatari soil?

This whole affair smells like a heaping pile of Trump manure.
