Building a Qatari Airforce Base in Idaho?

The X post captures a live signing ceremony on October 10, 2025, between US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Qatari officials to establish a dedicated facility for the Qatari Emiri Air Force at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.
This deal advances a 2022 agreement for Qatar's $12 billion purchase of 36 F-15QA fighter jets from Boeing, designating Mountain Home for training and housing up to 170 Qatari personnel.
It bolsters US-Qatar military ties, mirroring Qatar's hosting of the Al Udeid base—home to 11,000 US troops—and follows the US acceptance of a Qatari-gifted Boeing 747 for Air Force One retrofitting.
 
No
A training center for a 12 billion dollar order for Boeing made under Biden
Any other questions?
 
Rupar ignores the facts and background, often. That’s why he’s relegated to threads.
 
Spaz doesn’t know the difference between a training center and an air base, but believe him when he’s criticizing Trump for making good on a deal Biden made.
Lightweight
 
You could argue that Trump could or should renege on the deal and accept the consequences
Boeing loses and probably no deal with Hamas
That would be an honest debate
 
We have traiing bases for other nations all over the country. We train them.

Yeah many things are interconnected in reality. I’m be willing to train a few Qatari pilots in exchange for peace in the Middle East. Biden just wanted to train them with no peace in the Middle East.
 
You guys have mistaken me. I’m happy that a place that treasures diversity such as Idaho is willing to take on a foreign Air Force base being built on their soil. Makes perfect sense to me.
 
The US sells a lot of fighter jets around the world. We don't send a you tube tutorial link to train the pilots despite what the simple minded on this thread seem to believe.

Training pilots is one thing…having them build a facility on US soil….no thanks
 
The only foreigners Spaz doesn’t want in the USA are involved in a diplomatic arrangement that both the Biden and Trump administrations coordinated and signed with Qatar.
Seems about right. That’s what Trump Derangement Syndrome is all about.
