From Saudi involvement in 911, to their funding of various terrorist organizations [along with the US and UK and others], through their proxy wars against Iran, through their secret overthrows of progressive Arab governments, through their very odd alliance with Israel, through their secret alliances with the US secret state, through the fear, detention, torture and execution of many Saudi (perceived) critics internally...and now an apparent execution of a Saudi journalist in Istanbul and one who had permanent residence in the USA....... I think it is about time the USA and most 'Western' countries re-evaluate their relationship with that anti-democratic and bizarre country. Trump is not the man to do so - he is financially compromised by the Saudis [as is Kushner], and he has no moral compass anyway other than his wallet. This will be interesting. Even Reich-wing politicos are expressing their disgust with this brazen act. Of course the USA and many other nations do the same and long have - but usually very covertly and then make it look false-flag or an 'accident'. It will be interesting to see how this plays out or if the Saudis paying out large amounts of hush money behind the scenes can make it 'go away'. I think not - but I also think most countries are so addicted to Saudi money, oil and power they will not do much other than express their outrage..... I hope I'm wrong. Time to look into a lot of dirt the Saudis have long been doing wholesale - even if this 'retail' assassination was repulsive.
