TradeTheBeal! Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I surprised the Saudis had time to squeeze in this dismemberment, what with their busy “beheading of witches” schedule. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmer17 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Can someone give us the crib notes version of what happened and why this matters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Post reporter and US resident was killed for criticizing the Saudi government (KSA) by the Saudi government. US is also nominally allied with the KSA. It would be like if we lured Snowden to a US consulate in Russia, and then killed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 So Saudi Prince is in tight with Kusher so Daddy-in-Law Trump is likely to sweep it under the rug.

Destino Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Let me see if I understand this right, the Saudis wanted to kill this guy but not be held responsible for it. They don’t even want to acknowledge they did it. So the plan they came up with was to lure him into the Saudi consulate, and kill him there? Seems like a pretty stupid plan. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 So business leaders are pulling away from the Saudis left and right, but Donald Trump doesn't want to disrupt the money flow. Way to show moral leadership, you craven ****. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to show moral leadership, you craven ****. Is it the money flow? I feel like the US has been happy to mostly ignore Saudi Arabia's human rights abuses for decades. Compared to the horrors they've committed recently and in years past, murdering a journalist is a drop in the bucket. I doubt the hesitancy to take a hard line stance against Saudi Arabia shown by many US presidential administrations can be explained by money alone.

Screwing up oil prices is a political death trap. People think "big oil" when this is discussed but it's the people that have to choose between a full tank of gas and full stomach that feel changed in gas prices most acutely. The economy could be humming, but the perception would still be grim if gas gets back up to 4+ a gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 The thing I dont get is, he knew the Saudis were trying to get him and trick him into making himself available. He saw through some plot to get him back to Saudi Arabia under false pretenses. But he thought he would be safe in a Saudi embassy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
