American media: Four Saudis who killed journalist Khashoggi studied military affairs in the United States

24

The four Saudis who killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul had previously trained in military affairs at Tier 1, a subsidiary of Cerberus Capital Management (USA). The contract for the training of fighters of the Royal Guard of the KSA was approved by the US State Department.

This was reported by The New York Times, citing information from a representative of Cerberus Capital Management.



Training program for four Saudi Arabians who have committed the murder of a journalist, according to
a private military company engaged in military training was purely defensive in nature. It included training in safety during shooting, repelling attacks, methods of tracking objects, actions in close combat.

American media outlets note that the US officials who allowed the training might not have been aware that these Saudi nationals were involved in the repression. At the same time, it was already known that Riyadh used the royal guards to suppress dissent in the country.

The US authorities gave the go-ahead for military training of the KSA Royal Guards in 2014. A representative of the training company said that the training of its specialists for Saudi Arabians had nothing to do with the atrocities they committed later.

In the United States and Europe itself, human rights activists note that Washington has not imposed sanctions against Riyadh, although it imposes sanctions against a number of other countries for lesser sins. This, as noted by human rights defenders, looks like a clear double standard in relation to the protection of human rights, including the basic right to life.

      As I understand it, if the training program does not include the training of operators of ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, then this is exclusively defensive training.

        This program included training in the use of a butcher's knife ... after all
        it is necessary to be able to shove a journalist competently into the barrel. what
        However, in Saudi Arabia, the separation of the head from the body is still in the order of things ... of course, on the basis of the verdict of their court ... they have such specialists as executioners working there.

        Rets with nuclear warheads can also be launched in a defensive manner. )))

      Well, if Saudi Arabia is against such actions, then let them impose sanctions! For starters, against Cerberus Capital Management.

      The journalist died of a heart attack when he was tortured by these specialists, so they wrote that they were not to blame that his heart turned out to be weak, the Americans will not teach anything bad, they are democrats and taught these cadres to defend democracy and nothing more.

        One thing, but Chikatilo answered for his skills), and the Americans with the hands of the Saudis solved their problems with one overly talked-about journalist and bribes were smooth.
        I will not be surprised that in a couple of years the US press will publish a publication on awarding performers with solemn speeches in the Capitol)

      The training program ... was of a purely defensive nature.

      And if you listen to them, they teach them to translate grandmothers across the road, give flowers to girls, polish weapons to a shine and brush your teeth well so that you can smile broadly during parades ... wassat

      At the same time, these training centers are preparing PMCs, for which, well, just a lot of questions regarding the ethics of military personnel! There, they completely stamp out thugs ready for everything.

      But the American "allies" cannot be touched, what sanctions. Only by affection and persuasion. And ice cream to cool hot heads. lol

        There are no military men in PMCs! These are such weightless moths in reality! They do not serve in any troops, their losses are not taken into account, that they exist in the world, that they do not exist (the USA no longer protects the Americans. I would say who is 30 years ago ...). So you can't blame non-existent military non-existent troops))

      Someone's butts are gradually burning)) Longing-sadness! The journalist as a profession is in bad shape at the moment. Too many Internet "editions" have appeared around. Fortunately for journalists, the prices for copywriting online are about 300 rubles per article. For such an amount, no one will make a quality product, it is simply not worth it. So there is an opportunity for specialists to compete with the shaft of dreary flat rubbish that has flooded the network. But.
      It is no longer possible to earn a living as a prodigal. To rivet longing for 300 rubles is unbearable and low-calorie - a year or two, and a person simply cannot bring himself to take up the keyboard, and even money for food is not enough. It is necessary to write as follows. What does it mean? It is necessary to crawl into all the holes, it is necessary to conduct investigations, it is necessary to ask uncomfortable questions and look for unconventional answers to them.
      But how to do all this, if there are more and more people trained in the United States who are sawing journalists with a blunt saw, considering it an ordinary job? The world, which is flooded with three-hundred-ruble liquid porridge, is losing the last remnants of respect for the profession.
      Was the journalist killed? The air will be cleaner at least a little ... With such an attitude, you will not go to investigate. And then you look, and there will be nothing to bury. Hehe ...

          Apparently you are not aware of Zinovy) that the most ancient professions from ancient times were well paid. But if everything is bearable for the first, then the second Internet dumped very heavily. This is what my post was about, under which you left a comment in the style of a wall for teenage girls.

      Hitler's preparation of the United States has nothing to do with Germany starting the war. They prepared him purely for peaceful purposes, the destruction of the USSR, and his attack on the Storage and other countries was Hitler's personal initiative.

        that's why German tankmen and pilots were trained in the USSR, that's why a joint parade of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht took place in 1940 in Brest, that's why the last echelon with Soviet raw materials, according to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, went to Germany on June 22, 1941, all the time you have someone is to blame

      What difference does it make who, where and how taught the people who killed the journalist? Moreover, as a rule, special skills are not required in order to strangle an unarmed person with a crowd.
      Here another thing is important: who gave the corresponding order and why. And this became known shortly after the murder. The fact that the United States does not want to complicate relations with the Saudis because of one person is also understandable, since the United States has a lot to do with Saudi Arabia (oil, bases, arms sales, etc.). Even after the September 11 terrorist attacks, when it became clear that the military pilots of Saidov Arabia were behind the terrorist attacks, they tried to quickly hush up this case and transfer the arrows to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc.
      In general, nothing new and nothing personal. Business is business, and money doesn't smell.
