Usually when some rich person gives you something expensive .... they want something in return for the favour

well obviously they don't want anything in return for a 400 million dollar jet, because that would just be corrupt as fuck.

They don’t get that rich by being generous.

Reminds me of the time Putin pardoned his buddy, and then his private jet mysteriously fell apart mid flight when an S400 hit it.

Didn't the Saudis just sign a $900b arms deal?

Any chance Qatar owed them a $400m favour?
