I suggest that you query for "Qatari influence in US media" in your favourite search engine or LLM. Many media bodies operating in the land of the free do not represent the interests of the people of that land.

The Qataris didn't force us to do stupid shit like invade Iraq and Afghanistan. Our feckless leaders did that. It's nice that you've invented this excuse for our terrible leadership, but it doesn't actually explain away any of our terrible foreign policy decisions of the last century.

But I'm still not really seeing what the US would have been otherwise likely to do to "win" in Afghanistan? Is the implication that they somehow convinced Trump to prematurely withdraw from Afghanistan because the Taliban were merely sheepherders? Qatari influence certainly didn't seem to play much of a role in his actions this time around
