I think hegseth is just an idiot who misspoke.
Qatar is getting facilities on a US owned and controlled (fully under US jurisdiction), airforce base for the purpose of joint training.
The base already has the same, but for the Singaporen airforce.
I’m reserving judgement on our increased military alliance with Qatar out of my own ignorance on all the factors at play, but it seems like a decent thing with respect to israel- hopefully increasing diversity of our military partnerships in the middle east decreases our reliance on israel, and with it our blind support, reigning them in. Hopefully this also signifies a Qatari move away from Iran?
