It's important when selling a product to collect user feedback and real-world test results.
ha, what are they going to do about it?! not sell their human killing weapons abroad?!
- Likely, either apply diplomatic pressure to the saudis and get them to stop doing these things to migrants or restrict what weapons they can purchase. Or other diplomatic consequences.
  
  The Saudis know we need their oil, they don't give a shit. The way we pander to them is pathetic & they know it.
Biden administration wants to know if water is wet. More at 11.
What if they used American planes to kill Americans?
has it always been "name of president administration" in headlines rather than US government? or is this just a recent trend? or is there a difference between the two?
- It's always been that way. Some government officials are unelected and therefore not attached to any administration, this is called the "deep state". But generally administration and government are used interchangeably.
Why do you need a investigation?
America makes the most weapons out of any country.
So many attacks can be linked to American weapons.
He knows the answer to this already. I suppose we must go through the motions to pretend it matters to us, though.
