Forgive my ignorance, but aside from being an ally and sharing tech, training and whatnot, why does Qatar want an air base in idaho?

The Final Boss, so far...
Are they the ones that bribed him with a plane or the ones that bribed him with crypto? I can't keep up.
You only wish this was the final boss of “imagine if Obama did it.” Trump could cook and eat a baby on live tv and his cult would call it a bold tactic to own the libs.
AND he’d face no repercussions. Congress would applaud him
This will make it much easier for the Qatari air force to carry out their combat air patrols over Montana.
That was likely part of the price the Qataris wanted to put pressure on Hamas to accept Trump‘s deal. Worth it.
Ethics/morality aside, it's a pretty smart financial move to sell goods and services to multiple sides of a prolonged conflict. Sure, some of them might figure it out and bomb an iconic skyscraper in a major city, but what's a few thousand peasant lives against the billions of dollars that could be gained?
Last time it happened, we got a decade of oil out of it. Not a bad deal to be honest. I'm not sure how it works though, if it's 10 years per event or 5 years per tower.
