Bad example. Beslan thugs were international gang from all over the neighborhood.
At the very least one of them Abu Al Farokh was a Jeddah-born Saudi national on student visa. Another four unidentified terrorists were obviously Arabs too and probably Saudis although undocumented and not in FMS database. Probably sneaked into Russia from Georgia.
Most were Russian, or Russians with Chechnyan or Ingusetian credentials.
Exactly 3 out of 3 dozen were Russian but I don’t get your point.
Saudi connection is clear with both 9/11 and Beslan and the latter despite the fact that you tried to use it as counter-argument.
There were no Iraqis, Iranians, Afhanis or Syrians involved in both cases.
“Saudi connection is clear with both 9/11 and Beslan”
I suppose for a person easily propagandized with Russian tripe from Sputnik and RussiaToday, the illogic of your statement makes sense.
Factually, you are wrong on Beslan. There are many ethnic Chechnyans and others from Russia involved.
There is zero Saudi government involvement with Al Qeada, the Sauds despise them and have tortured and imprisoned them as well. Strong enemies each of the other.
If the Iraqi army had made the run from their border to Riyadh, there wasn’t anything in the way to stop them. Tanks LIKE hundreds of miles of open desert. It took weeks for us to get enough resources in-country to defend Riyadh from any attack. By mid-September, they could probably have taken the city, but it would have cost them. Even with C5’s, it takes time to move enough resources, tanks, ammo, fuel, beans and bullets, to someplace as remote as Ar-Riyadh. Ain’t much worth going there for anyway. IMHO, at least.
I used to joke with one of our admin guys that his hometown, Clovis, NM, was my choice for rectum of the world. Then we went to Riyadh. Had to apologize to him. It sure isn’t Clovis, after all. I figured that all we had to do to punish Saddam was to MAKE him take over Riyadh, and live there.
JFK’s diary is public knowledge. In it, he expresses admiration for Hitler in 1945. (Source: BBC)
I read the BBC article and it’s deceptive sounding. JFK in his diary called Hitler a “menace to the world”. That’s hardly an admiring statement.
What is still unsealed are documents related to his assassination. Apparently the intelligence community asked Trump not to release them. Don’t you think that’s curious?
"...the stuff of legends...[Hitler] will emerge from the hate that now surrounds him and come to be regarded as on the most significant figure to have lived."
