It is interesting

But there is also plenty of motivation to obscure a case of straight up terrorism (if it was one). Not saying our poster or his friend are doing that, but this is a very obvious case where even polarized factions (Trump/Clintoneseque opponents) could find common ground in avoiding questions about the US-KSA relationship.

Media is asking questions, only because Trump occupies the WH. Serves our purposes for the time being even though it's hypocritical of them.

Anyone that has a history of funding terrorism, yes. We force them to train their pilots on their soil or send them a training manual. We are already selling them at a discount. There are already plenty of other countries that could assist in training as well.

If Boeing can get away without training pilots on a new system and their CEO not go to prison for manslaughter you damn right they can train their own.

Sounds like you’re a big fan of gun control

I don't think the fact that he was attrited will be able to be hidden, if that's the case. It sounds like this guy was a completely shite student and that's fairly common from the international students from certain countries.

But what will be interesting is when this was planned like when he bought the gun, if he had done much research ahead of time, etc.

I'm not sure we should over react too much if the guy was simply about to be sent home and went to a gun show and bought the gun very recently because he was pissed off for flunking out and he knew his life was all but over back at home. But if he had been planning this for months and didn't care if flunked out because he was planning this anyway, that would be a bigger story.

and instead of labeling this a terrorist attack, the Cheeto in Chief said:

quote:

King Salman of Saudi Arabia just called to express his sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors who were killed and wounded in the attack that took place in Pensacola, Florida....


He's so far up Saudi Arabia's arse.

That's just ignorant and is essentially 3/4s of the world. We train South Americans, Turks, Israeli's, etc. You are essentially saying we shouldn't train anyone on our home soil at that point. I mean even someone from Ireland or Spain could be a potential domestic terrorist in their own country.

If you are going to sell military equipment, you have to offer military training. It comes with the territory.

Basically, you are saying you want stricter gun control. I wonder who has been asking for that for years.
