Has a government ever simultaneously pissed off its troops and its farmers before? Because historically, doing just one of those tends to lead to bad things.

Seeing a lot of folks being shocked by this but this is just a training agreement. Mountain Home is a major F-15 base & the Qatari air force just bought a bunch. This is pretty common, Norway & the UAE both have facilities in AZ for flight training.

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

Got my first book deal by tweeting at an author "someone should write a book like this" and he responded "you should write a book like that" and tagged his acquisitions editor.
