Technology. Not to mention sloppy ass work buddy. They would have been better off paying a bum to make it look like a random robbery outside.
Narrow minded dumb asses like you are more likely to totally lose it and kill other Americans then the vast majority of immigrants.
In regards to killing/abducting on foreign soil?
Yes, exactly, and by beheading them. Not to mention all the Yemenis they have killed. So why are we acting like we give a shit? Why is Peggy Noonan writing a stupid editorial saying that the US used to act (any maybe should continue to act) ashamed of selling weapons to the world? Since when do we have shame about anything? Just another example of doublethink.
MBS and the Saudis are probably scratching their heads trying to figure out how they pissed everyone off and what unwritten rule they violated. The rules make no sense.
At the end of the day, money talks and unfortunately, this horrible incident will fade and we will be back to business as usual, Saudis have us by our balls (oil and weapons) and it is not just this administration. just check these facts:
"In 2013–17 Saudi Arabia was the world’s second largest arms importer, with arms imports increasing by 225 percent compared with 2008–12. By the end of 2017 many more weapons were on order, indicating continuing high levels of arms transfers for at least five more years. The previous peak in Saudi Arabia’s arms imports occurred in 1995–99, when it was also the world’s second largest arms importer. However, its arms imports in 2013–17 were 48 percent higher than those in 1995–99. Unlike in the late 1990s, Saudi Arabia now uses the weapons it has imported in large-scale combat, in particular in Yemen.
In 2013–17, 61 per cent of Saudi Arabia’s arms imports came from the USA and 23 per cent from the UK. Deliveries during this period included 78 combat aircraft, 72 combat helicopters, 328 tanks and about 4000 other armoured vehicles."
