The Bolduc Brief: Sovereignty in Jeopardy – How MAGA Would React to Qatari Troops on U.S. Soil if President Joe Biden Had Recommended It

If President Joe Biden had proposed to base the Qatari Air Force on U.S. soil, many supporters of the MAGA movement would likely respond with significant criticism and concern. Their reactions could encompass the following key points:

1. Violation of Sovereignty:

MAGA supporters would likely argue that allowing foreign military forces to operate within the U.S. undermines American sovereignty. They would view this move as a troubling concession of national control, suggesting that it signals a loss of independence from foreign influence.

2. Concerns About National Security:

Critics from the MAGA faction may express fears that the presence of Qatari troops could introduce security vulnerabilities. They might point out that it risks compromising the safety of American citizens and military personnel, potentially making U.S. bases targets for adversaries.

3. Questioning the “America First” Commitment:

A central tenet of the MAGA movement is the “America First” ideology, which prioritizes U.S. interests and security. MAGA supporters might argue that by establishing a Qatari air base President Biden is prioritizing foreign partnerships over American interests.

4. Outrage Over Diplomatic Decisions:

There would likely be outrage regarding a perceived lack of transparency and consultation with Congress or local authorities regarding such a significant decision. MAGA supporters might interpret this as a unilateral decision that disregards the voices and concerns of the American people.

5. Potential Economic Concerns:

Critics could raise concerns about the economic implications of hosting foreign military forces, such as potential costs to taxpayers, while suggesting that resources could be better allocated to domestic needs rather than supporting foreign militaries.
