"Victor Davis Hanson: We've Never Seen Anything Like This Before..."

Victor Davis Hanson: “Qatar Just Bought Silence — And Everyone’s Complicit” A luxury 747. A billionaire’s interior. And a government with ulterior motives. When Qatar handed over a state-of-the-art Air Force One replacement to the U.S., the media yawned. But Victor Davis Hanson sees what’s really happening — and he’s not staying quiet. “Qatar doesn’t give you anything for free. This isn’t generosity. It’s leverage.” Trump needed a safe jet. Boeing stalled. Biden sat on his hands. And Qatar swooped in — not for Trump, but for influence. Just like they did with the $2.5 billion U.S. military base before the Iraq War. Just like they do with universities drowning in foreign cash.
