please prove it's a bribe...

The real question should be why no one else was concerned about this enough to post the story.

But by all means, what info am I leaving out?

#1 My post didn't attack anyone
#2 "Trending"?
#3 The story was in the news for at least a day when I posted it.
#4 Sounds like you want the Political Discussion section to be an echo chamber where no one says anything bad about Lord Trump. You paint any critical comments on Trump as 24/7 Trump bashing.
#5. There need not be an argument, I posted a news story, you can read it and move on if you don't desire to debate.

the deal was in the works for a year
which means it was started by the Biden administration...

Wrong, and "trending' is English.  Maybe take a remedial English Comprehension class at a community college?  You can do that online.

Have a source for that?

The Biden administration on Tuesday approved a $1 billion arms sale to
Qatar in a transaction unveiled during halftime of the key World Cup 2022
match in Doha between Iran and the United States.

The State Department announced it had signed off on Qatar’s purchase
of 10 defensive drone systems, 200 interceptors and related equipment just
as the second half of the US-Iran game began. Qatar, along with other Gulf
Arab states, faces threats from Iranian-backed proxies in the region.

The department said in a statement the sale would “support the foreign policy
and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve
the security of a friendly country that continues to be an important force for
political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.”

The real question should be why no one else was concerned about this enough to post the story.

Try a web search.  It pops right up in the results if you know how to use the search function.

US OKs $1B arms sale to Qatar

Gee.  Looks like the 747 "gift" is more of a "thank you" for prior support from the US than a bribe for future asks.

It's because others here know how to use logic based on the facts available.

Do you know something that the media is leaving out?

Insult without an argument. You seem to not understand how winning debates works.

Since you almost never win, I would be correct in saying,
"You seem to not understand how winning debates works"

Insult without an argument. You seem to not understand how winning debates works.

I wouldn't use the term bribe (without evidence of criminal tit for tat) but no side gives that much money for nothing. We didn't spend billions in Qatar out of good will, we got something out of it. If we are getting something perfectly legitimate in trade for the "gift" then it would make sense to say so because that will make it look like a deal. Painting it as a gift, something for nothing, makes it look shady. That is why I asked what Qatar is getting out of it.

Have a source for that?

I'm not insulting you, I'm stating a lie.

FIFY

I'm not insulting you, I'm stating a fact.  If you're not competent enough to realize this, then I apologize if I have made you think that you're dumb.

FYI, you don't know how "winning debates" work.  Changing the subject, moving goal post, etc...doesn't work.
