Why . How many times have ” friends” that we have helped out with weapons use those weapons against us later?
I don’t have a problem with Hegseth being in charge. But what happens if the Dems seize power again?
Somehow this seems counter productive to OUR National Security! It has been alleged that the Saudis were partially for 9/11. Could this just be a Trojan Horse?
I do NOT like this one little bit.
There is NO REASON WHATSOEVER for a foreign country to have an Air Force base in our country. Has Hegseth lost his mind?
This is ridiculous! Bringing in more Muslims to hurry up Obama’s plan of destruction from the inside! This administration is losing my support on a daily basis!
I am pro trump and I support pete.Higgsath but not in this!! We do not need to allow this trojan horse into our country! We need to speak out loud and clear, president trump, stop it, you’re making a big mistake!!!
Back in 2015 and 2016 Idaho State University devised what they thought would be a great money-making scheme by entering into an agreement with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to accept as students the sons of some of their elite families. Now all kinds of mischief came out of this hair-brained scheme. Many of the students had hired non-Arab nationals to take the test of English is a foreign language in order to be eligible to enroll. Once here the students engaged in all kinds of academic fraud, including plagiarism and stealing keys to midterm and final exams. Greedy landlords raised the price of their rents for these students and thereby made apartment rents too expensive for local Idaho students who withdrew from Idaho Idaho State university and went to other universities where rents would be cheaper. Then there was a great deal of conflict on campus because administrators would not back up their faculty when instances of academic fraud became evident. Eventually, most of these students left Idaho State university claiming that they were subjects of unfair, discrimination, and in the end, those administrators who had cooked up the scheme ended up losing their jobs. And many if the greedy ksndlords took a great hit when they found that their properties had been completely trashed by the Aarab students. And now Pete Hegseth, and the Qatari minister of defense agreed to start a similar program for Qatari Air Force pilots at Mountain-home Air Force Base. In short in order to appease Qatar, our defense department is forcing Mountain home Air Force Base to set up a program for training their pilots. Most of these pilots will be from the sons of the elite ruling classes of these Arabian gulf states. My late father was a United States Air Force instructor pilot and also Korean War veteran fighter pilot. At one time he had to train Iraqi Air Force pilots in the mid-1950s before they had a military coup in Iraq. According to my father, these young men were spoiled, arrogant, and basically made poor students. By contrast when he had to teach Turkish Air Force pilots, he found that they were humble, hard-working, and much easier to teach. I think the main difference is that in the case of the Turkish military, they had adopted a professional army system that promoted their officers, not on the basis of family background, but more on the basis of merit and hard work. I think this entire scheme is more or less diplomatic pandering of Qatar and that it will fail as miserably as did the Idaho State university scheme. Of course, none of these students nor military trainees are actually friendly towards our United States.
How convenient to have a Muslim Air Force base amongst us. What is wrong with Trump and Hegseth?! Is it because Qater gifted Trump with a big ol’ plane? This is insane!!!
NO! Absolutely NOT! The State of Idaho needs to fight this and every other State needs too as well!
The federal government has NO constitutional authority to allow a foreign military forces in any of our States! The federal government can not own land and only has jurisdiction in Washington DC, Territories and military garrisons.
Enough of your WAR and LETHALITY mongering, Hegseth!
This is the worst idea ever! This is much worse than the plane they gifted Trump, which he caught plenty of hell for accepting. Allowing this level of access is completely reckless and shortsighted. Even if intentions and relations are good between our governments, they could change on a dime. How can we be sure that their men stationed here don’t hate America? One bad actor could cause so much destruction. Just NO.
I’ve heard and read in many more than one place that Qatar has been a major sponsor of Hamas to the tune of hundreds of $millions. Qatar is NOT our friend! Who knows who will be sent her to learn not only how to fly our fighter jets but also our many types of war technology.
What in the hell is going on here????? Ummm, do the citizens of the USA get a vote in this since they’ll be living amongst us and not living at the White House? This is insane!!
Why do we need a foreign government air force facility in Idaho??
Not a fan of this!
Oh great bringing Muslims into Idaho what could go wrong when everyone packs; mixing good ol boys w ragheads talk about culture shock
I totally agree with you DML NOT a fan of this.

Trump and Hegseth have done lost their damn minds.
Every citizen in this country must contact their representative and senator and let them know what a dangerous Trojan horse this is.
Nope. I am not a fan either.
This is ridiculous! Bringing in more Muslims to hurry up Obama’s plan of destruction from the inside! This administration is losing my support on a daily basis!
Agree with DML on this. Not a good idea at all.
This is ridiculous, Arab nations are all Muslim . We need to rid this country of them. They are are enemy. Trump stop this!
I am pro trump and I support pete.Higgsath but not in this!! We do not need to allow this trojan horse into our country! We need to speak out loud and clear, president trump, stop it, you’re making a big mistake!!!
