Saudis murder Washington Post writer

[Ethel mermania]

You got someone else in mind in the middle east?

But I am more interested the part of my post you cut out.

The Saudis are sophisticated investors, and have billions of dollars invested in high tech American industries. Apple, uber. Microsoft, Tesla, amazon, etc. I am not seeing the rush to divest these investments.

A number of bigshot American investors withdrew from the Future Investment Initiative over this.

Indeed, but they have not talked about divesting the already invested money, and investment projects are still moving forward, which the article I posted mentioned.

understand I am not claiming the house of Saud is filled with a bunch of.misunderstood good guys. My question is what can the US do about it, that will not fuck up the region worse?

Boots on the ground. Crush ISIS, end SA’s horrible treatment of the Yemeni, and for fucks sake, get Syria to stop killing itself.

Yeah, pretty much nothing. They're in too deep. If the Saudis have been getting away with Yemen so far, one journalist isn't gonna turn the tides. I was just surprised that Jamie Dimon and friends decided to save some face. I thought they were above all that "decency" and "humanity" that the plebs like to ramble about.

According to Trump, ISIS has already been crushed.

The biggest obstacle to invading Saudi Arabia is that it'll start claiming that the U.S. is going to level Mecca and that's when a shitload of volunteer jihadis start swarming.

A bigger obstacle is all that money the military-industrial complex is gonna lose over something like this.

When dimon divests the Saudi sovereign wealth fund and closes up j.p Morgan Saudi Arabia company, I will admit I was wrong.

Honestly Jihadists putting themselves in the open is a win/win the way I see it.

[Vistulange]

Having seen some rather graphic and admittedly disgusting photographs - that's an advantage (!) of being close friends with a journalist - I've become thoroughly convinced that the Saudi Arabian regime is just as bad as ISIS.

Honestly, I'm not one to promote military intervention, but if somebody in the region needs to be removed from power, it's the Saud dynasty. They're fucking twisted.

Yeaaaah, I mean the propagation of Wahhabism arguably was a large factor in the forming of ISIS to begin with.

Oh, absolutely. I've been saying since 2015 - Saudi Arabia is just ISIS with a seat in the UN, and has a big boy backing it up. Aside from that, they're an anachronistic, twisted, tyrannical regime that exports nothing but oil and death to the world. No value added whatsoever.

Numbers add up, especially if people think one of the biggest holy sites in the world is in the crosshairs.

Yeah I see your point, we certainly wouldn't want a Arabian regime change turning into Mogadishu x10 and on steroids.

I'm not so sure. Saudi has been getting big for its boots and it would not surprise me, given some of the foreign policy meted out recently, for them to be put down a notch or two over this.

Is your journalist friend going to publish them? Such evidence needs to come out.

It should come out. Just as long as said friend doesn't visit any Saudi Embassies anytime soon.

When Turkey releases the evidence.

No no no, they are innocent until proven guilty, and I don't see any evidence, and Trump says they are innocent. Saudi Arabia must be found guilty before a US Court of Law before we can do anything negative, but we do need to rush their confirmation because...

Wait, what are we talking about?
