      It would be kind of hilarious of every country that the US had an air base in also had an air base in the US. The American pearl clutching alone would be quite the entertainment.

        It’s gotta be like… a base meant for training their pilots right? There’s no way they let Qatar just fly even so much as recon missions out of there right? And the main reason they’re letting them build it here is one of those “investments” he keeps bragging about securing, right? I’m not going insane right?

          I dont think their getting their own base. he said facilities, and he likely meant theyre just getting their own barracks, mess,classrooms, etc.

          Singapore already has their own facilities for joint training on the base in question, theyre likely talking about that.

          Its not like were giving Qatar a base to freely fly recon out of, or attack Mexico if they decided to declare was on them or somwthing…

        This is some Civ4 shit where you abuse the possibility of stationing troops in a friendly country and use that as a base to wage war.
