Aye, it’s supposed to be (emergency) Command and Control HQ in a nuclear war, directing assets in space and on the ground from the air.

The Qatari Jet is just a floating palace and lacks electromagnetic shielding and secure communications.

Unfortunately, Trump’s popularity in parts of the ME is sky rocketing now. Posting this here because ppl should understand the context, even if they give fuck all about suffering of Syrians.

Apparently the previous 3 elections were R+30, R+5, R+15, in 2021, 2017, and 2013 respectively.

EDIT:

Before anyone, regardless of political leaning, gets too excited, it’s a local election, and apparently the issues were rather localised: https://old.reddit.com/r/fivethirtyeight/comments/1km40aq/democrat_john_ewing_set_to_win_omaha_mayoral/ms7bxqx/

Mountain of salt because it’s a Reddit source.

Just not sure this has ever been done.

It is obviously a thing that visiting heads of state get gifts that when they visit other countries.

But qatari’s gifting a jet and Trump not only accepting it but deciding to flaunt it and that too for a comparitive pittance (in global economic scales of 400m). The Qatari’s will more than offset that loss by getting deals in the USA.

Sure , he probably needs to take more people onboard to massage his ego etc etc etc.
