    Sorry but two spurious examples don't make a " Western Value"

    Except that is not what i am saying. That is low hanging fruit you invented for yourself in order to be lazy.

    I am saying he didn't these traits in his function as president. Obviously. You are making yourself seem dense.

    And it is a valid point, and one being discussed all over the world right now.

    It's tough to go to bed with a murdering regime.

    Trump probably never thought he would need to deal with this.

    It will be swept under the rug since the victim is not a U.S. citizen.

    Excellent analysis. And quite logical as well.

    Good questions. I don't trust the Saudis or Turkey. I trust the Saudis more but not much. It's like saying that I like the smell of pig poop over dog poop.

    So you claim Trump supports Western Values and yet you cannot even explain what Western Values are. Typical Trump supporter!

    Actually I said no such thing. Nice try at disguising your own ignorance though? Just in case your short term memory is defective here is the question I asked in response to you claim.


    Your post:

    Trump has the same if not more western values as any swamp rat in the democrat party

    And my response:

    Exactly which western values do you think Trump embraces in practice. Monogamy perhaps? Honesty perhaps?

    CNN is now reporting it is an audio recording. If the Turks have an audio recording of a murder that took place inside the SA consulate the questions is how they got the recording? By revealing the recording Turkey might have to admit they bugged the consulate, according to CNN reporting.

    Jamal Khashoggi is not an American citizen or even an immigrant, he's only a registered alien in the USA.

    Jamal Khashoggi is a political activist who hides behind the journalist label no different than many American political activist that you see over on CNN, MSNBC, NYT, etc.

    Because of the "Magnitsky Act" that protects political activist who claim they are journalist, Turkey is making a geopolitical move to drive a wedge between American and Saudi relationship.

    President Trump is no Obama and will put America's national interest first, **** the "Magnitsky Act."

    What choice is that? To interfere and create an international incident over the alleged treatment of a foreign citizen by one foreign government by another? There are literally thousands of examples, it would be like Japan jumping in on St. Trayvon or something, totally inappropriate...

    Trump is now coming around....a few backdoor threats of impeachment from his own party always do wonders to correct the toddler Trump's behavior....
