Trump Admin Sparks MAGA Fury With Qatari Air Force Base in US--'Betrayed'

[slightlv]

62. From what I've read, this Qatari facility is different from the

programs already in force here in the U.S. Many, many countries have training agreements with the U.S. where groups of their military come here for training. They have liaison offices and training offices on the bases. But the Base is still an American base, and the foreign country is a guest of the host country and base. Not the other way around. My first working contract after my divorce and separation from the AF, was all written in Arabic, in fact. I worked for one of the Saudi Liaison offices at what used to be known as Lackland AFB. We were under the aegis of both the host country (U.S.) and the Embassies of Saudi Arabia and Egypt, out of Washington D.C. We did NOT own Lackland. From everything I've read so far (and I've read quite a bit, which I admit even I can see slants and angles in the writing) have Qatar owning the base instead of it being owned by the Host Country.

Like I said, I worked for the Embassies... not Lackland. We kept to the Arabic calendar. I've also worked as a DoD Civilian in creating training materials that were used in some of these classes... of course, this was decades after my work at Lackland.

I was also stationed at Lackland AFB as permanent party when I served in the Air Force. What I've read so far has my hackles up, ears pricked, and every hair on my arm standing straight out from my body, as a Veteran. I hate to call common cause with such a traitor and hater as Loomer, but I, too, call this a betrayal. And I see NO good coming out of it. I DO see it as a payoff, probably for trumps building in Qatar. IMO, it will always revolve around trump's money and power, no matter what the situation is. We all agree his whole life is lived on a transactional basis. We'll be lucky if we still own most of the country by the time he's done using at as an AirBnB.
