** Qatar: Trump Administration 'Making States that Sponsor Terrorism Great Again' ([link removed])

* "Qatar is at the top of funding terrorism worldwide.... Even more than Iran." — Udi Levy, a former senior official of Israel's Mossad spy agency who dealt with economic warfare against terrorist organizations, YNet, April 18, 2024.
* It was disclosed last week that Qatar has been funding US institutions of learning for years with donations amounting to more than $400 billion. Those were just the ones for which there were receipts.
* Qatar also hosts the forward headquarters of US Central Command (CENTCOM) at Al Udeid Air Base in addition to a recent promise from the Trump administration to defend the emirate if it is attacked.
* It is hardly a secret that Qatar is no friend to Israel. Qatar has been called "A genocidal anti-Israel propaganda machine." After Trump leaves office, will Qatar be one of the new launchpads from which to try to eliminate the Jewish State?
* During the first Trump administration, the US warned Israel that "security cooperation with the U.S. could be reduced," due to a deal signed with China's Shanghai International Port Group to operate a new terminal at Haifa Port, where the U.S. Navy ships often dock. How come the US does not have the same concerns with Qatar?

US President Donald J. Trump is reportedly strengthening Qatar's military and giving immunity from any potential future attack by supplying it with state-of-the-art counter-drone capabilities, including Raytheon's FS-LIDS system. Qatar is also purchasing the MQ-9B SkyGuardian remotely piloted aircraft system ("the most advanced multi-mission remotely piloted aircraft in the world"). The rapid increase in Qatar's military power is a direct reflection of the strides that the terror-sponsoring and terror-propagandizing Islamist state has been able to make in its gradual buy-up of a greedy and flatterable Western world.

Wherever you look, Western leaders are engaging in policies that invite civilizational suicide by arming enemies of the West who would like to see it dead. Sadly, the last place one would expect such policies is the Trump administration. It claims it wants to "Make America Great Again." Now it has been incentivizing countries -- such as Qatar, Turkey and Pakistan -- that want to "Make States that Sponsor Terrorism Great Again."

"Qatar," according to Udi Levy, a former senior official of Israel's Mossad spy agency who dealt with economic warfare against terrorist organizations, "is at the top of funding terrorism worldwide.... Even more than Iran."

Eighty years ago we learned costly lessons in the Pacific regarding just how difficult it is to supply, fight, and win in this part of the world. Lessons learned, lessons remembered, and lessons for our foes: never underestimate the United States.

Not so very long ago, the Pacific was the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of World War II, where no quarter was given.

While the guns have long since gone quiet, that vast area of the globe remains a source of intense military brinksmanship. This time it is the giant of Communist China seeking to dominate the Pacific's democratic nations that range from Japan in the north to Australia in the south. In between those nations is the U.S. Seventh Fleet, along with an island chain with American outposts such as Okinawa and Guam.
