  • Therein lies the prime issue. We’ve fucked up for too long, time to rip the bandaid off and start fresh, which means there will be short term pain in a lot of ways, but as a society we’ve been way too

    No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man. That plane don't need longer legs.

This might be another bit of 4d chess on behalf of the Trump administration. Giving the qataris a no shit facility in the United States is going to tie them to us in a much more concrete way than simply having a base in their country. My suspicion is that the Trump administration has decided that we are going to buy the qataris away from the Chinese and the Iranians. And we're going to lock them in with a deeply integrated military, similar to how we have locked in the Saudis. 

 

Obviously the 4D chess bit is tongue in cheek, but it's just another example of the Trump administration making a decision and buying into it 100%. In an era where the dreams of a cosmopolitan worldwide alliance have fallen apart, if the Republicans commit themselves to the concept of a Balkanized world again, we can start making moves to make sure that our sphere of influence is the more powerful one. 

 

The real problem of course will be the the pseudo-utopians on the far right and the far left that have turned into New age isolationists. They'll bitch and moan about the duplicitous nature of the Qatari regime as though that's not an inescapable facet of international relations.

 

It's got to be a rough time to be a libertarian.

Definitely not them buying the F-15QA back in 2017...nope. Clearly quid pro quo for a 747 BBJ.

Looks awful in my opinion. The light blue scheme was timeless on every airframe it was put on.

This looks like some generic airline scheme from 1998.

His vanity and ego knows no bounds. He's going to lose his mind when all the changes he's made are going to be reversed in 2 years.

Looks like my grandma designed it to match her tacky living room.
