Now it seems that Saudi agents murdered a journalist at the Saudi consulate in Turkey. Jamal Khashoggi was a voice for Saudi Progessives...and we all know how much the Saudi elite revere progressive politics. Khashoggi had fled Saudi Arabia in 2017, in fear for his life.
The Saudis naturally lied about what happened to Khashoggi, claiming he left the Consulate in Turkey through a rear entrance. Their bullshit has since been called out, and now Saudi leaders are rushing to disavow any knowledge of what might have befallen Khashoggi at the hands of "rogue agents."
I personally am sick to death of Saudi Arabia getting away with everything under the sun--from murder to terrorism to bribery to blackmail to extreme misogyny--because it happens to sit upon a mother lode of oil.
All the more reason for alternative sources of energy to be brought online as quickly as possible... Wouldn't we all like to see that pack of jackals become completely irrelevant when the world no longer clamors to buy what they're selling?
Not only the oil, but the arms deals and far more important? Saudi loans, or bribes, are helping keep the Great Orange One out of the poor house. It appears that most of his real estate holdings are either losing money or mortgaged to the hilt. That the guy with paper on this shoe is a businessman is the biggest con of all.
