Since the end of World War II:

I¡¯ve only heard of the U.S. building military bases around the world.

I have never heard of foreign plans to set up military bases in the United States.

No, the situation has happened!

U.S. Defense Secretary Hergezs said on October 10 local time, when he met with Qatar's Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State, Saudi bin Abdulaziz Al-Alassani, it was clear that Qatar would establish a military base in the United States.

On October 10, U.S. Defense Secretary Hegerseth (right) and Qatar¡¯s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defence Affairs Alessani (left) signed an agreement on the construction of a military base in Idaho to train Qatar pilots.

You know, Hagerseth is a close confidant of Trump. But even so, his announcement angered Trump fans!

How close are Qatar and the Trump administration?

Anyway, Trump visited Qatar as soon as he entered the White House again. Listening to Trump's complaint that "Air Force One" was old, Qatar immediately claimed to give it to the U.S. government-actually, it was given to Trump for use-a luxuriously decorated Boeing-747 aircraft.

According to the information disclosed by Xinhua News Agency, the "Air Force One" currently used by Trump is the one donated by Qatar!

Of course, even in this respect, Israel has also launched airstrikes on Qatar this year.The reason Israel claims is that there are members of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Qatar.

I have to ask, is Qatar a dependent state of Israel? Is it an act of aggression to bomb targets in Qatar on the pretext of having Hamas members in Qatar?

It is precisely because of this that in the Israeli Prime MinisterNetanyahuDuring his visit to the United States, at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump held his phone and asked Netanyahu to read the text to apologize to Qatar.

It can be seen from this that the friendship between the United States and Qatar is good, not fake!

Today, when Saudi bin Abdulaziz Al-Alassani visits the United States, the personal disclosure of Hergezs has nothing but confirmed this ¡°good.¡±

But because Qatar wants to set up a military base in the United States, it has led to strong opposition from the American network and political activist Laura Lumer.

She said that "no foreign country should set up a military base in the United States", otherwise she would inevitably find the relevant people and other accounts.

Laura Lummer even said that Hagerseth's actions made her less likely to vote in next year's U.S. midterm elections.

In the words of Luther, Trump will not neglect.

Because she is a member of the "Make America Great Again" campaign!

Xinhua Agency reported that although she did not officially serve in Trump's government, her previous remarks had been effective many times. For example, several officials of the National Security Council, the National Security Agency and the Food and Drug Administration were eventually fired after being "bombarded" by Lumer.

This means that their energy is not small.

This is the Pentagon, the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense, taken from the air on February 19, 2020.

It was for this reason that Hagerseth had to quickly step forward to "dispel the rumors." He responded on social media on the evening of the 10th local time: "Qatar will not have its own base or any kind of base in the United States. We control the existing base."

Will Qatar establish a military base in the United States?

In fact, after reading what Hagerseth said next, you will understand that this is still the case. It's just that it may be different from Rumer's understanding or his expression.

What Hagerseth wrote about "the existing bases we control" echoed what Qatar said on social media.

Qatar's embassy in the United States also stressed via social media that Qatar will not have a military base on U.S. territory, and the cost of building military facilities will be borne by Qatar, which will create hundreds of new jobs for Americans.

To be honest, this has been the case in the United States before and now!

It's nothing more than Qatar paid to set up a military facility in a US military base in the United States, and then the US military trained Qatari soldiers, mainly pilots and other air force personnel.

Take, for example, the Mantenham Air Force Base, which is preparing to set up Qatar-related facilities, which had originally housed a Singapore fighter squadron.

This approach, of course, will boost U.S. employment and economy.

Not only does the US military earn training fees, but companies that develop and manufacture fighter jets can sell their fighter jets more smoothly to some US allies. It also includes better development of catering, entertainment facilities, etc. around the training base.

At least in Trump's eyes, this deal is successful!

Qatar is an important security ally of the United States. It has the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East. It has recently actively participated in mediating the Gaza conflict.

These are all factors influencing the conclusion of this transaction.

However, in Lumer's view, these are not enough for the United States to trust Qatar.

Lumer said Qatar ¡°financed terrorism¡± and she also mentioned another Middle East Arab country, Saudi Arabia.

In 2019, a Saudi Arabia cadet killed three U.S. soldiers and injured eight others at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. In Lumer's view, it was tolerable.

The feeling of laughing, Luther said, is somewhat reasonable.

For example, U.S. troops in Okinawa outside the U.S. military base, for what the local people of theÁðÇò islands hate, there are drunken wounded people, adultery women, and have the right to foreign law.

Therefore, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that since Japan and the United States are allies, since the U.S. military can be stationed in Japan, the Japanese Self-Defense Force should also have the right to be stationed in the United States.

If Japan is a defeated country, Article 9 of its constitution states that Japan must not have an army ¨C the Self-Defense Force is essentially not an army.So what about South Korea? what about Qatar? why can¡¯t foreign troops be stationed in the U.S. while U.S. troops can be stationed abroad?
