Forgive my ignorance, but aside from being an ally and sharing tech, training and whatnot, why does Qatar want an air base in idaho?
It's normal for other nations to have a sub-base for training them on our products, alliances & soft power, etc. I think in another timeline, this is problematic because it's another shady ally. But with Trump, you have Qatar gifting Trump a jet and then his "no foreigners in 'merica!" voters having to suddenly say things like "actually, it's normal to have foreign militaries here."
To have a foothold in North America when the US balkanizes?
The Balkans were "balkanized" by the US remember, they didn't self destruct... And besides, betting so much money at this point in time on Idaho seceding to become an empty landlocked country is a far fetched scenario even for a strategy game 😅
And now the US is being balkanized by the US :P
