Air Qatar

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (right) and Qatari Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman al-Thani announced at the Pentagon that Qatar will build a new training facility for its air force - in the United States.  Specifically, Qatar will have its new training facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.
This marks the first time a foreign country has had a military presence in the continental United States since the British maintained forts in present-day Michigan and Ohio in the twenty years following the Declaration of Independence, and the first time a foreign air force has had any presence in the continental United States.  Given that the Qataris bribed Trump with a free jet airliner and have enabled Trump to pursue his business interests in their country - a polyp-shaped sand-dune peninsula the Size of Connecticut in the Persian Gulf - this is the biggest scandal to rock America since Tuesday.
Hegseth insists that the Qatari facility is not a separate base but is merely a facility to allow Americans and Qataris to train side by side.  But Qatar has also been been identified as a supporter of terrorism, and even Trump himself, in 2017, once accused Qatar of supporting Islamist terror commando groups.  And now, with a Qatari presence in the U.S.  - perversely, an accused supporter of Islamist terrorists stationed in Christian-nationalist Idaho - terrorists no longer have to hijack planes in America to fly them into buildings.  They'll have their own air base right here!
