A rich person on "vacation" surely doesn't have to deal with that crap and nobody checks too closely if the right contacts are used.

maybe not a billionaire or something, but there's no way the shooter is passing for that. at best they get the customs agent sent out to the private plane to handle passport control there before being allowed to debark. countries still do passport control for private planes.

edit before you point out that it's not ordering americans to take to the streets to celebrate:

yes, you are correct. the point here is that biden released a statement referring to the carpet bombing of a lebanese suburb that killed hundreds of people in order to target nasrallah as bringing "a measure of justice for his many victims."
