Great to see this new democracy up and functioning using such technology. But I am a little nervous. Didn’t we help the Shah of Iran? Didn’t we help Osama Bin Laden vs the Ruskies, training and arming them?
Please, please expand your sources of information beyond CNN and 60 Minutes.
No. Liberal myth playing upon Americans' guilt complexes. CIA funded native mujahideen. ISI might've redirected some CIA money to the Arab muj, but it's far more likely that most of the Arabs simply paid their own way. Osama is independently wealthy, after all, and Saudi Arabia was just as involved in the covert Afghan war as anyone else.
As for this aircraft, what possible threat could it represent to the US or US interests? It's a low-speed, low-altitude, fairly low-loiter reconnaissance aircraft with no armament or stealth capabilities. I have no doubt it's really good at what it does, but it doesn't do anything to be nervous about.
No worries as democracies don’t war on each other.
