Holy f
I hope the US makes it illegal to American citizens to act like this, even when on foreign soil and with permission by that foreign government. If this is true, expect blowback
oh actually it is illegal "Americans who commit torture abroad can be jailed for up to 20 years "
wtf are those guys thinking? not only acting illegally,but risking the already bad reputation of their country. If they are really from Blackwater, finally shut them down, throw that Prince CEO guy intro prison.. he has caused so much misery around the world in his new privatised warfare attempt anyways.. enriching himself on war.. what a guy
America is involved in an all out effort to create, war, distrust, dis-functionalism around the world. I wouldn't be surprised to hear these torturers are US government approved and viewed as the US having provided aid to the emerging new leader of Saudi Arabia that will result in even more arms sales resulting in more death and destruction to innocents in the area.
I doubt that even God could save America.
Sounds sketchy might be from someone related to one of prisoners. Could be part of US Israeli boogeyman ME crowd.
US is trying to create another Saddam with MBS?
Corrupted politics and billionaires beaten and hanged by their feet, will be music for my ears... if this do not means a worst scenario of wars and persecutions.
If this is true, or the US want to strength their grasp over SA, or they have lost control on privatized warfare.
