knapplc Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 A dropped bomb, even a smart bomb, can be an accident if you don't know you're hitting a bus full of children. Even if they knew there were children inside, it's a killing at a distance, still bad but not as bloodthirsty and horrific as a hands-on torturing & dismembering of someone sitting in front of you. Even if he wasn't an American citizen, he was an employee of an American company. Link to comment

I just hope our allies forgive us when Trump is gone. Yes, and some got upset because Obama sent the Churchill bust back to Brittan as if he was severing a long standing relationship. But we got Trump back slapping every dictator he meets and turning the heat on our trading and NATO friends. Trump, the would be if "only the constitution allowed it dictator" envies the control these thugs 'get to have' in their nations. 1 1 Link to comment

This is not really just a theory, this was reported on by numerous outlets. The salient paragraph that Castro is referring to: Quote What exactly Kushner and the Saudi royal talked about in Riyadh may be known only to them, but after the meeting, Crown Prince Mohammed told confidants that Kushner had discussed the names of Saudis disloyal to the crown prince, according to three sources who have been in contact with members of the Saudi and Emirati royal families since the crackdown. Kushner, through his attorney’s spokesperson, denies having done so. Link to comment

It’s not someone taking advantage of what happened to Khashoggi. If the Saudi Arabians were so obsessed they told Khashoggi to stop saying bad things about Trump (see earlier article I posted) and then murdered him, it wouldn’t be all that shocking if his name was brought up with Kushner.

Moiraine Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The Saudis are claiming Khashoggi's death started as a fist fight. Ya, I'm sure the 15 of them had a load of trouble restraining a 59 year old who was alone. 1 Link to comment

It's pretty clear whatever the Saudis are claiming will be a lie, but that is a pretty sad one right there. 1 Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 A good read from someone who has experience with Trump, Saudi Arabia & Khashoggi's family in the past. Doesn't paint a lot of great strategic options if Trump decides to go along with this sham internal handling of the situation by the Saudis. Link to comment
