Oped, Published on 31/08/2022
» As the United States sends stockpiles of weapons to Ukraine, another transatlantic mobilisation is underway.

This would lead one to believe that he was armed prior to obtaining the weapons used in the attack. He then took his haul and went to another location and stole a vehicle which he then drove off the base to the mall. So why was the soldier armed in the first place? As I recall weapons in barracks were kept in a secure location, locked and issued individually as needed. All transactions were recorded, and an inventory taken daily.
