Trump might try to implement what happened to that Journo as official policy in dealing with all the jpurno's who criticise him. Wink Razz
I'm sure if he could do it he would. That is why he loves all the dictators.

Pretty horrible story all around. Do you think it will change anything? Ultimately, do the US and the rest of the pro-Saudi bloc really care how many terrible things its government does?


There’s a phucker of an irony that Turkey, another Islamofascist country who has a long history of killing, jailing and tormenting journalists accuses Saudi of the murder of the journalist in the Embassy. Thank you the Sultan Of the Ottomans.


Spot on

Also, the Saudi's have hardly cornered the market on imprisoning, ransoming, executing Journalists.

Sickening the connections trying to be made in this case to further agendas esp from those who have taken Saudi money and turned a blind eye to their practices for years.

There are far too many of these instances than there ever should be, every year from some big countries without the current condemnation seen in this case.

Wonder why.......

Trump "seems totally reasonable there's no body" or "Saudis told me all their bodies just magically disappear. I believe them".

Honestly, this whole thing is just a sickening and depressing sideshow. Obviously the US are not going to jeopardise their mutually beneficial, corrupt-to-the-core relationship with Saudi Arabia over the (horrifically violent and unjust) death of one journalist; even if it was Obama in charge and they were making a big song and dance about sending a tough response, it would all be pantomime. Not a great deal of space for ethics and morality in the sphere of global politics.

Now we have a third story. Obviously Trump tells them he needs a better version to sell to the people.
