In Idaho.
Training bases like that are often put in remote areas where low flying and the noise doesn’t disturb that many people. Qatar is tiny and they can’t really practice at home that well.
Sucks for them.
They weren't justifying they were explaining the decision making process.
It's important to know why things happen even if it's for reasons you don't agree with.
Singapore already has a base there for their F-15s, this isn't anything new so the locals probably won't care or even see the Qatari pilots.
I don't agree with any of this but I also don't think we should let the media manipulate us with bait that isn't going to go anywhere.
We need to keep pressing Epstein, everything else is misdirection.
The joke/issue that you seem to be missing is that Idaho, in general but that area specifically, bought hard into the islamophobia propaganda campaign that was part of the fascist power grab of the early 00s and has only doubled down since.
"Pardon our noise! It's the sound of Free~~dom~~ jetliners"
I think having it inside the US brings some security guarantees that the base is left alone. And it might've been part of some bigger deal, Qatar buys some US weapons and they throw in land for the base in return or something.
I would imagine there are a hundred other options for countries that would allow a training base that's not in fucking Idaho that didn't require a plane as a bribe.
