    It would appear to not be limited... would you agree?

    We need to look at the range and intensity of belief and reliance on conspiracy theories.

    Trump has really changed the republican party... Sad!

    though it is refreshing to see some republicans speak out on this, not everyone will side with Trump no matter what

    Trump says the press is the enemy, does he not care when a reporter is murdered?

    He will hold the Russians "accountable" by imposing yet another round of sanctions for nothing, but his SA friends will get more weapons.

    I see a lot of hemming and hawing about what people believe the president won't do in the future. What do you think the US response should be?

    Sanctions and no weapon deals. No more support in Yemen.

    That would involve Trump getting his hands dirty, which he never does.... Also, I doubt he was in Turkey on the day in question...

    I don't know what should happen here, but I do know Trump will do nothing, or the bare minimum.... His and Kushners interests are directly threatened by this, which takes first precedence...

    I think the United States should lead a coalition to Saudi Arabia and arrest King Salman for state sanctioned murder of Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi and then drag his ass to Chop Chop square and execute him.

    We've been asking Obama not to do that to Egypt when their entire country fell apart.

    Funny. I thought since 9/11 we should have cut ties to the terrorist nation of KSA. Our last few presidents disagreed. NOW- something that has nothing to do with the United States (but happens to have taken place during the Trump admin), the liberals are up in arms about KSA.

    :eek:

    If he's driven them away, why are we training with them this very moment and fighting along side them in many nations?

    The alt left makes up wild conspiracy theories these days

    Those are long-standing pre-existing commitments made under other administrations... This is a new situation.

    It's a moot point anyway... Trump will never gather other countries in his "response" to KSA.... As usual, the cheese wants to stand alone...

    They can remove themselves from any situation. Do you remember what France did under Obama?

    Cmon now.....the only reason they are up in arms is due to the guy working for WAPO. If he would have been working for the Washington Times. We wouldn't even be hearing a peep out of them.

    You know the Lame Stream Media will push this story. Knowing most of the country don't think to highly of them.

    They need the weapons to do our dirty work in Yemen. That's where ISIS/AQ are, hiding in plain sight among the lawlessness and chaos. Getting shelter from local chieftains hiding among the population. Unless you want to send US ground troops in there, there is no humane way to decimate our enemy. Yemen is a shithole.

    So, a plan of action is too hard for you to consider, but based on your prognostications of what Trump will not do in the future, you disapprove.

    Not my job, or yours, to come up with a "plan of action"

    And I didn't say I'd disapprove if little or nothing was done...

    I'm just predicting Trumps response, based on his history... he could actually luck into the best response

    The Saudis has no issue with cremation after their bodies were turned into ashes flying into the WTC.

    Well Obama is no longer in power. How about you suggest something that is actually in the now?

    KSA bombing them with US bombs is great for ISIS/AQ training and recruitment.

    Not even sure I believe the storyline of ISIS or AQ being there, but we sure are creating a bunch of new terrorists.
