what are Qatar's military interests in *checks notes* the Rocky Mountains and the PacNorthwest? Replenishing their strategic spud reserves? Securing the Edmonton Stampede in Alberta? Amphibious white water rafting?

How long until countries update their travel advisories for the US again and recommend "do not visit unless necessary"?

Anyone editors want to update the professional bio on wikipedia? He seems to have had a lot of jobs that aren't listed and I think he should be credited
