Apparently if you are a friend of theirs you can torture people especially if you're the rich one

Trump must feel like the crown prince was persecuted by evil journalists

I guess Trump is not as brave as he brags to be.

Trump is as dumb as a bag of rocks but what about the rest of the world, why the fuck are they not sanctioning MBS. 

Canada (PM Trudeau) for example said the exact same thing Trump did, "we have a 15 billion dollar light armour vehicle deal with Saudi Arabia so we have to be careful"

Lets at least be realistic Saudi Arabia can pretty much do what they want because the world hates Iran more, sells them arms and buys their oil!

This is probably the only part of any of your posts I’ve read that I actually agree with.

Stop persecuting that nice crown prince!

Saudi Arabia only surviving because it is considered the holiest site for Muslims ( Mecca and Medina) Oil is just cherry on the cake. No country in earth wants 1.9 billion Muslims to go bonkers on this.

Well, being of the best trade companions of the USA (oil!) apparently lets you do whatever you want.
I doubt America will take any actions in fear of deteriorating or even losing this trade channel.

I must agree. Saudi Arabia is not enough, "America First" should involve sucking up to at least a half-dozen murderous dictators, like Putin, Duterte, Kim, al-Sissi, Erdogan...

If the world stood up to nations bullying coughexecutingcough their journalist, about half the world's trade would stop.

And all these bitching over one dead Iranian spy!

How many people do you think he was responsible for killing?

Journalist are spies? Rofl. The way to properly deal with spies isn't private execution; not in the civilized world.

We have public trials; not held in foreign consultants.

What specific part of my statement sound bitching to you. care to elaborate? and not a spy but Journalist named " Jamal Khashoggi"

I am just hoping that you are mixing 2 different cases Matthew Hedges (British academic accused in UAE for being a spy for British Govt. and already sentenced to life within 5 mins) and Jamal Khashoggi's (Killed in Istanbul and linked to Saudi's prince) case.

>>Saudi Arabia
>>civilized world
wut?

Let's be honest: no one cares about human life or any sanctions when it comes to big business.
Siemens will supply turbines to the Crimea.
Britain will warmly welcome the Russians with their dirty money.
Trump will sell arms to Saudi Arabia.

Nope.

No 1.9 billion Muslims will "go bonkers" over this killing because the Koran provides all kinds of reasons and justifications for doing this sort of thing.

Westerners just don't LIKE the overt, in-their-face presence of this savagery and brutality.

How dare you blaspheme the religion of peace

Let's piss of all religions. Pretty sure they all advertise themselves as the "peaceful" religion.

I assume you are joking, but thought I would reply.

What I said is not blaspheme, although it'd be interesting to have some comments from the Muslim point of view.

I believe it's correct to say that this killing would be viewed as righteous by some sects of Muslims. The old sunni shiite viewpoints right?

But progressive Westerners WHO INVENTED the term "religion of peace" find this naked brutality disturbing.

[theymos]

It's really pathetic, though honestly it's a little refreshing to see Trump talk so openly about it. I have little doubt that any of the past several administrations would've done the same thing, but they would've come up with some other excuse than "I know that Saudi Arabia is a murderous, anti-freedom, anti-West, genocidal regime, but we just make so much money selling them weapons, and we need their help to crush third-world-country Iran!"

[TECSHARE]

Saudi Arabia will get its come comeuppance... right now they are less of an enemy than others and can wait. Others are larger threats and it makes sense to cooperate with them (until it doesn't). OFC murder is horrible, but in the perspective of nation states it is standard operating procedure and par for the course of running any nation state. This move is strategic, and again, they are on "the list" because of their participation in the events of 9/11. They are going to be used then flipped on.

@Spendulus:  I meant to say that if some kind of war happens in the future over any issue.(not on the basis of this killing! sorry for the confusion) Saudi Arabia vs Western country(Christian) or Hindus/Jews. the reason I mentioned religion here because Saudi Arabia has a key to holy places "Mecca and Medina" All they have to do is Shout " Islam is in Danger" and I can bet my life on this when I say this, Muslims around the world go bonkers on this and significant amount of people will join them for this so-called Jihad.

Saudi Arabia will get its come comeuppance...

What will America do?

Create another monster? Like Rambo type more Osama Bin Laden. We all know how that road ends, don't we? America 2 Allies Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. You know what I am talking.

right now they are less of an enemy than others and can wait. Others are larger threats and it makes sense to cooperate with them (until it doesn't).

What other enemy?
ISIS ? I am sure you have a good idea about What ISIS is and who created the vacuum in the first place.

Iran ? Who overthrown their democratic gov and installed the Dictator? Even supporting him for almost 27 years just for oil and in the end, Americans surprised that Why they hate the USA. Please google if you have time "operation ajax"

They are going to be used then flipped on.

That's why no country likes American's Foreign policy except few (partners in crimes) and consider America a bigger threat to world peace.
