    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.”
