Hegseth announces Qatar will build air force facility at U.S. base in Idaho

Washington — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday announced a finalized agreement that will allow the Qatari Emiri Air Force to build a facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. 

The agreement, which Hegseth announced alongside Qatari Minister of Defense Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the Pentagon, will allow Qatari pilots to receive training alongside U.S. soldiers. There are no foreign military bases in the U.S., but some foreign militaries do maintain a presence for training. The Singaporean Air Force also has a presence at the Mountain Home base. 

Hegseth said he is "proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force Facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho."

"The location will host a contingent of Qatari F-15's and pilots to enhance our combined training, increase lethality, interoperability, it's just another example of our partnership," Hegseth said. "And I hope you know, your excellency, that you can count on us."

"Building a base" is almost guaranteed to be an overstatement of what is happening.

They'll probably have some offices and have some planes in a hanger of an existing base.

In fact, the second post essentially says that.  They are building a facility (which is just a building or two) on an existing US base to facilitate training.

Context before everyone digs their heels in and starts dying on hills.

Nothing says America first quite like a foreign airbase in Idaho. 

Once again you are posting fake news .

Someone should tell little squissy that Singapore is on the same base training with F-15s. Qatar is already training in Florida at Tyndall AFB. The Dutch and Germans are on a New Mexico base and NATO in Texas

 

if Elon never buys X you wouldn’t be able to find the correct information. Just the leftist propaganda

I want you to try and imagine if Obama had announced an Arab country training an Air Force base in Idaho. The internet would have exploded with stories about the New World Order taking over the country, Obama being a Muslim traitor, etc. Republicans would have gone absolutely crazy demanding investigations, his impeachment, etc.

I guess Saudi Arabia isn’t an Arab country

Was going to say this. A simple google search would show that there are at least four bases that are used for non-US military training and some have been around for decades. 

This is nothing new, and it's not a foreign-owned base. 

UK, Germany and a Euro-NATO joint training effort are also using training facilities at a couple of our bases.

Poor Squissy couldn’t wait to make this thread

Well will you look at this  ⬇️

 

“This deal was part of a 2017 jet sale and further negotiated between 2021 and 2022. 

The environmental reviews just got submitted and approved.

Hey Ron enjoyed watching your tenacious def back in the day. Good post. I just would hope maga can start to see the erosion of our own country and not have blinders on because of their conviction to their decision. It’s never too late to straighten out a mess…….. until it is

The planning for this facility began under the Biden administration. A final environmental impact report was published in 2022, while President Biden was in office, which looked at the "potential impacts associated with the beddown of a US-led Qatar Emiri Air Force F-15QA squadron" at the base. The process has been in the works for several years.

So help me out with this one.Did we not just give Argentina a ridiculous amount of money to rescue “their” country? But in the meantime at home in “our” own country we somehow can’t find a way in our budget to keep health insurance affordable for americans

I shouldn’t have to be the one to tell u this, but the amounts people will be paying next year will increase dramatically to say the least. Hard to justify ending something to help our own country while you’re simultaneously supporting another country

I agree with that, so why are we instead building them a military base in Idaho? @Ray_T knows...

You lie so bad, why are you always lying??? 

It's a training facility, not an Air Force Base you dope. And if you were anywhere close to anyone who was in the Military you'd understand the difference. A Military Base is a Military Base and Qatar would never put a base in Idaho, it would make no sense strategically. 

"Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, which will host Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots who will train alongside US troops"

Ok so we're hosting a terrorist air force and training them.  Got it.  So for calling it a military base, it's just a terrorist training ground.

They're our F-15s you moron. I've lived on Military bases for over 15 years of my life. This is nothing new, we train Countries everyday. Especially those that we can keep tabs on. 

We have a joint base in Qatar.

When you purchase US Military Fighter Jets, weapon systems or technology, who the hell do you think trains them on it??? 

@Ron_Artest @josh wiley

This is nothing new, we've been doing this forever. Every Air force base in the Country trains other countries who purchase our equipment. To open a Training Facility here is no big deal and holds no advantage militarily. There are OUR F-15s.

So the OP posted a blatant falsehood. If only there was a fact checking thread where we could add this to their long history of misinformation.  Seems that thread got deleted?   Hmm.

Ok so it's normal to train terrorists on us soil.

I think this is wrong.  You support it.
