Not a base…. Temporary Training center with cheap housing for the trainees. I’m not defending anyone, but we need to keep the facts straight to continue to be credible.
He is right though. Qatar is getting access to a part of a US base to train with planes they got from the US. Here is a 1 min YT short explaining the situation: https://youtube.com/shorts/p1bH0Q1LA-c
An excuse used to commit atrocities before was that it was not illegal because it happend outside their legal jurisdiction.
This situation opens up a ton more wiggle room.
That could be a simple, well we didn’t do the illegal acts, they did and they are under their own nations jurisdiction (as is often the case for military on foreign land)
Or a more complex secret trade of prisoners where detained from Qatar are brought to the US for their soldiers to practice legal torture while Americans are send to Qatar where US troops also commit legal torture.
It does not need to make total sense as long as the question can be spun around “how is this legal” as a distraction for the actual ethical horrors they purposely employ.
We’re letting them build accommodations on an existing base and setup training routines. Didn’t research this, not a single article, jkust went full-on: “fAscIsM!!!”?
Yeah, bribing Trump with a shitty plane greased the wheels, but this is normal. We train allied naval pilots from all over the planet in Pensacola. I worked on base, saw troops from all over the globe. Perhaps Qatari is not our ally?
Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA) status: In March 2022, President Joe Biden officially designated Qatar as an MNNA.
OP presents a fact. Lemmy, confronted with a fact they don’t like: FUCK YOU! So, your world view is as informed as a conservative, just the opposite?
My most influential teacher was our science teacher from 1st-6th grade. Every year she would start with defining the difference between fact and opinion, how to discern the difference. You would have failed that class, as an adult.
And if you have any doubts where my politics lay, my history is free to read. Here’s some advice from just yesterday, talking about how to legally shoot the fuckers. Fuck me, can’t believe I’m not banned from the entire site for talking about armed violence against fascists.
Yeah, we train naval aviators from all over the world in Pensacola. That’s our claim to fame. I didn’t serve, but I worked on base and saw allied troops of all sorts.
Guess the real question is if America is funding this or the Qatari’s bought a ticket to ride with the jumbo jet bribe.
Yeah, because terrorists, once trained on F-15s, can go back to their caves and pull out their own F-15s. Along with maintenance crews, parts and armament logistics, actual armaments, all that.
Want to see jihadis work modern military gear? LOL, those dumbshits crashed at least one Black Hawk. I saw a video where the guy in the background is trying to clear an American M4 by banging the stock on the ground while looking down the muzzle. Nothing dramatic, his turban popped off and he crumpled.
Or are we going with, “All Arabs are terrorists.”?
Tbf mortaring an AR for an FTE is common, they likely observed a US guy doing it at some point, and it’s extremely rare for the round to discharge during it, BUT also it’s possible (like above) so point it in a safe direction lol.

That’s just repeating MAGA propaganda…
We can’t assume when Kegsworth said:
He meant
Stop fucking defending fascists, just because you don’t believe they’d really do, what they repeatedly told us they will do
If you want to go stick your head in sand, literally no one is stopping you.
But stop throwing sand in our faces and telling us it’s preferable.

This is like when project 2025 leaked and everyone said “don’t worry, that’s just a goof”…
And the concern is what exactly? Letting allies train on our military base? Spell it out.
An excuse used to commit atrocities before was that it was not illegal because it happend outside their legal jurisdiction.

Same reason we shouldn’t let any other far right religious extremist government have military personal on US soil…

The point is they shouldn’t be allies.
America of all places shouldn’t have any authoritarian monarchies as allies, you’ll probably never guess why…
America is good at killing people. Teaching other country how to kill is quite American too.

Wild how many times people give fascists the benefit of the doubt…
Fuck does this have to do with ICE? Did you reply to the wrong post?
Once again, facts are presented, lemmy cannot discern the difference in an opinion.
Nope, but now we know you never got to analogies n school…
youre gonna have to ask someone else to explain things now. You’re not understanding any of this and getting belligerent.
This is exactly like talking to a trumpet
Dude, I hate Trump and MAGA too … but please look at the actual info.
Glad we cleared that up, but I’m still not getting a paycheck.

More like a temporary terrorist training center.

But Americans never needed foreigners to teach them how to destroy, pillage and terrorise the world, ray. And they’re perhaps the best at it!

Please look into this. The comment is removed as misinfornation while it corrects misinformation.
I have recovered it for now. As at least the public accessible informations are only indicating a training facility.
Thanks.
Thank you.
