A follow-up to my question above. Very long article on how much influence the Qatari's have in the United States:

How Qatar Bought America

The tiny Gulf nation has spent almost $100 billion to establish its influence in Congress, universities, newsrooms, think tanks, and corporations. What does it want in return?

For those wondering about how accurate the FreePress is rated folks over at Media Bias/Fact Check give them this:

  • Overall, we rate The Free Press as Right-Center biased due to its consistent criticism of left-leaning views, especially on cultural and social issues. We rate them Mixed for factual reporting because, while articles are generally well-sourced, the outlet often presents one-sided opinion pieces that lack counterarguments or broader contextual balance.

And I'm sure the US is not the only country they are spending money in!

Why would the Brits need a facility in Suffield, or the Germans one in Shilo (when they had such things)?

Then again, the look was quite different then, given UK or Germany didn't gift Canada a nice plane (and who knows what else) beforehand, either ....

Closer ties and military cooperation between nations in that region and the US were unexceptional from approximately 2 Aug 1990 to 20 Jan 2025.

You’re being disingenuous. A middle eastern country being permitted to establish a base presence in the U.S. would have been remarkable and contentious in any of those years as well, even if it didn’t come hot on the heels of that country gifting the U.S. president a 747.

FWIW the UK has dumped us in favour of Omani training areas....

... can confirm the safety regulations there are more 'suitable' than Canada's for training soldiers for certain types of military activities ;)

Sarcasm. See Obama, Prize, Nobel. He talked his way into an "award" for which most people have to produce a significant concrete single achievement or a lifetime of work.

For all the folks who keep endlessly defending Trump, would you wear this watch? The hypocrisy would be so funny it will be worth it, going around "owning the Libs" with a total turd made in China watch, sold directly by the patriotic make it in America president. Nothing weird about it! Totally normal dudes wear and support this stuff without seeing any hypocrisy!

Perhaps "totally normal dudes" sucked in by talk radio, podcasts, 24/7 cable news and internet political forums, memes etc. might find it fun to wear the bling and regalia to rallies. Dunno emoji.
