“The Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including C.I.A., as a member of a partner force in Kandahar,” the C.I.A. director, John Ratcliffe, said in a statement, adding that the accused assailant “should have never been allowed to come here.”
So the CIA trained him to become a killer but he shouldn't have been allowed to be in America?
The USA is a cesspool.
They will say literally whatever they have to in order to shift blame from themselves to the Biden administration
This is all because of MAGA incompetence. The Biden Administration may have let him in, but it was the Trump Administration that gave him permanent status. It was on Trump to figure out this guy's deal BEFORE they made him fully legal.
No matter how loud they scream, this is Trump's fault.
to the Biden administration
Which, sheesh, feels a million miles gone at this point, doesn't it?
I can't believe it's barely been a year, holy crap.
But that's always been these goons' playbook: Doesn't matter to them how long ago the "other teams'" administration was. Blame, blame, blame some more.
The CIA agents who directed him also shouldn't be allowed to enter or remain in the United States.
Always blowback isn't it.
I still find it hard to believe he would travel all the way across the country, just to shoot some random National Guardsmen at a bus stop. Dude's either got a mental illness, or he was contracted to sow chaos.
Spent practically his entire life in a war zone, because his native country was invaded by America, and was trained to be part of a CIA death squad.
I don't think you have to reach very far to find causality here.
"Causality" in what sense? How does his upbringing and prior training explain travelling 3/4 of the way across a continent to shoot some random people, when there are still active National Guardsmen in California? Traveling twice as far, to hit a random target simply does not make sense. Hell, there are more engaging targets in Portland right now, if he wanted to make a statement, and that's right next door.
He literally drove the whole way...which makes this equal parts impulse and days-long anticipation. This whole thing smells off, unless he's just mentally ill.
It makes sense because of symbolism. An attack in DC is different than attack anywhere else in the country.
If his aims were political, then of course he would go there, and not Portland, or California.
None of this means he was of a sound mind, and I would say his upbringing means that he most likely not very well adjusted, how could he be?
Whether that extends to some specific diagnosis of mental illness, such as PTSD, I can't speak to.
So, you actually think this guy is a premeditating terrorist? With a handgun?
You think he was contracted to sow chaos as part of a false flag operation, with a handgun?
Also, terrorist attacks are generally premeditated by design.
"Contracted to sow chaos", meaning to do relatively little damage, but raise local tensions. Which is exactly what a false flag operation is intended to do. It's a motivator for policy change, not an actual terror attack.
If it was genuine terrorism, he wouldn't have gone 3/4 of the way across the country, "for maximum political impact"...and then only bring a handgun. It's a complete contradiction between intent and execution.
