International Trump administration poised to accept 'palace in the sky' as a gift for Trump from Qatar

[Soggust]

Beside the AF1 he gets to use... that idiot doesn't have his own plane already?

And we are getting new AF1s in a few years anyway, so he's really just upset he doesn't have newer planes sooner

• The Air Force One program may be further delayed until 2029 or years later, a senior administration official said.
• The official cited supply chain issues and changing requirements for the delays.
• The first aircraft was slated for delivery in December 2024, but Boeing has pushed its delivery off until at least 2027 or 2028.

all the losers that voted for him are expecting a ride in it to pick up their welfare checks, probably. dumbshits

In return the Palestinian state will be recognized. Just not in Gaza

Amazing self-own here lololol

it's very very hard to inspect everything, especially something as large and intricate and complex with advanced avionics systems, as a Boeing 747.

When embassies are made vacant and picked up by another country, the standard procedure is to level the building and rebuild so to get rid of any potential listening devices and spyware.

During the normalization of relations with the Soviet Union, we made this terrible deal with them where our embassy in Moscow would be physically built by... them. It eventually had to be partially raised because every fucking square inch was bugged. They had bugs welded into the I-Beams. There is no possible way they are getting every bug off this jet because the jet itself will be a bug.

 

[calavera2]

You ain’t doing shit

Are you interested?

 

[ookii]

Especially a gift like a plane to be used as Air Force One. Obviously our government will inspect the thing and install features and whatnot, but conducting a lot of our nation’s most important business on an aircraft gifted to us by a foreign government just seems incredibly stupid.

Perhaps they can also install Signal Chat app to the system

Holy shit

They made Jimmy Carter give up his peanut farm.

Holy shit

The saga of that embassy is a very interesting and embarrassing read.

I think it's a bad idea he accepts this. Qatar is such a weird political element too, I didn't mind living there, their airlines are nice, but they are shady as hell. I don't get how they got to host the FIFA cup.

Money makes the world go round still

IIRC there was a lot chat about voters being individually bribed. After it blew up FIFA made an internal "investigation" and conclude that all instances of corruption where punctual, mad by some individuals but not enough to take away the WC from them. Nobody believed but nothing happened and life went on.

I dont think it'll happen, but with this gift the "cutting ties" with Israel makes more sense. Bibi gotta up his game

Carter gave it up voluntarily bc he didn’t want the appearance of a conflict off interest

He was a good dude, ol Jimmy

[Natural Order]

The funniest part about this, for me, is how monstrously glaring of a security breach it is lol. That thing is gonna be less flying palace and more flying Spyware lmao.
Here, take this gift that totally won't let us know where it is at all times

Absolutely. Was thinking trojan horse air explosion first thing that came to mind lol

 

[Kassitus]

Yeah, there's nothing strange about Trump's shift away from Israel right now. Can't have anything to do with promising trillions of dollars in investment in the states and giving him a brand new jumbo jet. I'd also like to see how much of Trump's coins or watches the saudis have bought.

On the bright side think of how cool it would be if Trump ended the influence of AIPAC and amended the law so that the Israeli government wasn't allowed to fund them. No more destructive regime changes on the other side of the earth. I shouldn't get my hopes up too much but it does seem like Bibi has pissed off Trump pretty badly so who knows.

 

[Limbo Pete]

He lost them at "let's be honest"

 

[Dalarna3]

Man, the amount of time that they're going to need to take to sweep it for bugs...
