I've trained more foreign partners than most. I've conducted 8 JCETs, PDPs, or CNTs across the globe. Foreign officers go through the Q course all the time and just get waived through. For all the fools claiming they saw "xxxx country train in Ft Benning in 1987", it's pretty fucking unrelated to giving a foreign nation land in the US to build their own base. I've been stationed overseas for 13 cumulative years. Not deployed, stationed. A US base in a host nation is a mini-America. The host nation's LEO doesn't come on base, you exist in a special legal status called a SOFA, your troops impregnate and marry host nation women, you don't pay their sales tax, your spouses that work in the economy don't pay their income taxes, your kids go to their schools, tax free. This is something America does to foreign countries. Not something foreign countries does to America. And for a reason. We project American power overseas through foreign staging bases. It's strategic You want to train some Arabs. Sure. Go for it. Give them land in our country? That's a whole nother conversation. What's the Qatari strategy for this? What is ours? "Readiness"? GTFO. Have anything to do with the aircraft the Qataris gave Trump? Maybe?
Why do foreign companies own one of the rarest quartz mines in the world, in America? Why do we allow that? If you're an isolationist, why would you be okay with foreign corporations owning strategic resources in our country and mine our precious minerals? Why do we allow the Chinese to own our mortgage backed securities? What could be so good for America to allow Qataris to train flying our jets in our country to allow them to own our land? We don't need to be in Idaho to train Arabs to fly jets. Makes no sense on the surface, which means ...
Everyone is looking for conspiracies until their home football team looks shady.
Fucking insane the cognitive dissonance.
