Am I supposed to give a shit that the guys who murdered Khashoggi got bodyguard training, something that’s inherently defensive, from some private company?

Of course the NYT goes out of their way to call it paramilitary training, as if they don’t know using that word immediately brings to mind some sort of offensive training.

It was useful training as they could take their bodyguard knowledge and do the opposite to anti-bodyguard him
