Saudis murder Washington Post writer

[The Serbian Empire]

In a year or two our governments and most of our people will forget this happened.

That's the sad truth.

Geopolitics takes precedence over virtue.

I anticipate more Saudi chaos to occur. They know they have a geopolitical stranglehold over a large number of countries for oil needs.

Indeed.

Iran also isn't a good replacement.


They're trying to use oil to ensure they grab us by the balls.

And the Israelis while friendly to the US are not popular in the region. It's like a minefield where the three countries with enough wealth to field a strong army and none of them are trusted enough in the region.

The concept of Trump standing on 5th Avenue and shooting someone without consequence seems to have been taken as policy by countries on a global scale.

[US-SSR]

Another enemy of the people. Reaction so far from the US Government...crickets...

[Costa Fierro]

I'm not inclined to believe anything the Turkish government says, but the Saudis are smarter than to murder someone in a consulate. My opinion is that he is alive but is likely being held in extra-judicial detention in Saudi Arabia itself before they execute him.

[Tarsonis]

I do not like or support the Saudi regime, but for once they may have made the world a better place.

Down with the WashPost and their lying liars!

....aren’t you a Quaker?

Cursed post

No, really. Worst thing you could have posted.

[USS Monitor]

That is fucked up, but then it is Saudi Arabia.

[Empire of Narnia]

Don't mess with Saudi Arabia. Narnia knows that, everybody should.

[An Alan Smithee Nation]

Donald Trump has expressed 'concern' about the case.

Turkey has asked the Saudis to prove that Khashoggi left the consulate as they claimed.

The consulate seems to have a lot of security cameras, so if true it shouldn't be hard to prove.

[Imperializt Russia]

where tf do you even put a body in a consulate

Anywhere.

Not like the cops can come in and look for it.

Though that said, the SAS were given permission to enter the Iranian Embassy by someone, so maybe there are extenuating circumstances.

He left the consulate, but it's likely he was taken back to Saudi Arabia. For what reasons I cannot know.

For example, the Soviet embassy in Berlin had a torture dungeon.

Saudi Arabia has allegedly murdered a Washington Post writer when he visited the Saudi Consulate in Turkey to get papers relating to his divorce.

Fears are growing over missing Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi, after Turkish officials said they believe he has been murdered.
Mr Khashoggi, a Saudi national, went missing after visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Tuesday.
A Turkish official told the BBC that initial investigations indicated he was murdered there.
Saudi Arabia has denied the accusations, saying it is "working to search for him".
The Washington Post said it would be a "monstrous and unfathomable act" if he had been killed.
The BBC's Istanbul correspondent, Mark Lowen, said it would plunge Turkish-Saudi relations into an unprecedented crisis.
Turkish officials have opened an investigation and have been speaking to the media on condition of anonymity.
They have not given any evidence for their claim, nor suggested how he might have been killed.

The forces of tyranny are getting bolder, see also the disappearance of the head of Interpol in China. If Turkey's allegations do prove to be true, and the Saudi response does seem to suggest they have kidnapped him at the very least, then I ask once again if these are the sort of people Western democracies should be involved with. I think not.

Are you saying the King ordered this?

The killing was a royal command?

It's Saudi Arabia. Could have been any number of princes and whatnot.

He left the consulate, but it's likely he was taken back to Saudi Arabia. For what reasons I cannot know.

They said their cameras at the consulate are 'livestreamed' and cannot go back and see...

Bullshit if you ask me.

The Saudi government claims that he arrived, filed his paperwork, and then left without incident.

His partner, waiting outside in the car, claimed to have been waiting for at least eight hours since he entered, with no sign from him. She claims he instructed her to contact an influential Turkish official if he did not leave the embassy.

*** Warning for trolling ***. Gloating over the death of a journalist and suggesting he deserved to die due to the company he worked for is far beyond the line.

Was that a serious post or was it the Saudi royal family`s representative who was posting here on NS?

[Zakuvia]

I still can't fathom why journalists, knowing anything at all about dictatorships like SA, continue to frequent it. If I knew I was entering somewhere I wasn't guaranteed any kind of liberties, and would at any point be assassinated for exercising those liberties, I would only do so as part of a force deliberately excising that government. There is a point where my admiration for the bravery of those willing to speak truth to power is overtaken by a distinct feeling of exasperated apathy. My sympathies to his family, of course.

[Vistulange]

A government I don’t trust is telling me that someone was murdered by another government I don’t trust
So I’m just here I guess

Turkey and Saudi Arabia are both twisted, but if things go to a head, I'm for Istanbul as opposed to Riyadh.

Ankara*

Istanbul is not the capital.

He was Saudi Arabian, for a start.

He went to the Saudi embassy in Turkey, in order to officialise his divorce and nullify his Saudi marriage, so that he could remarry.

I knew he was Saudi (though admittedly I didn't know exactly why he was at the Embassy, thanks for that). My point still stands.

[The New California Republic]

Turkey is going to search the Saudi Consulate.

I wonder if the staff in the Consulate are shitting themselves right now?
