    Well... that's better. What now do you think is appropriate retribution against KSA for interrogating and killing a journalist on their consulate grounds? Clearly they will find some stooge to behead for the crime, but how should the world, and Trump, react?

    Trump already said that he wont hold them accountable because they spend money here, with a small subtext of "i hate journalists anyway so no big loss"

    I remember him saying the punishment would be severe, but that the arms deal wasnt going to be part of it, because it would basically be shooting ourselves in the dick. Can you answer an OP question now?

    What can we really do? Put a blockaid around SA? The murder occurred in the Saudi consulate not out in the open like the Russian conducted murders in England.

    "Died during interrogation" ?!

    That's called tortured to death in plain English.

    Are Muslims allowed to cremate Muslim dead bodies? If Khashooggi is declared an infidel traitor scum does his dead body have to be treated according to Muslimistic " law"?

    The murder did not happen in Alexandria Virginia it happened in Turkey.

    As I said before about all that Trump can do is call King Slomen and say " you been a bad boy, not nice to kill people".

    I cannot wait till the world weens itself off oil just so I can see these SA crumble and turn to ash.

    I just looked it up cremation is not allowed in Islam except for massive spread of disease and many die it would be allowable to burn the bodies in order to stop the spread of disease. .

    Suicide by interrogator.

    The Saudis should be severely punished, but they wont be and you and I both know it.

    Trump said that and then qualified it several times with “but they spend a billion dollars with us so i dont know”, then he qualified it with “he’s not a citizen, hes a permenent resident right?”.........

    There wont be sanctions. The right stands up daily claiming that “well at least we have a president who is respected on the world stage because he’s tough”, and then the first real time he’s challenged, they all say start qualifying and justifying why he isn’t thought with things like “well their is a billion dollars on the line.....”.

    I would ask all those on the right what is an american life worth ? Just gimme the number so that the next time this happens we know....

    They are hard to punish. They are a strategic ally, an important one in the Iran/China/Russia conundrum in the ME. They also effectively control OPEC, and yes, are poised to spend huge amounts of capital on weapons, to do some of our dirty work. To ignore these realities is amaturish... bordering on childish. Europe will have to take the lead on this, and us in a support role. I firmly believe sanctions will happen.

    Trump probably gave the green light to have him taken out.

    Trump hates the press.

    They'll find a fall guy.

    Trump never takes the fall for his actions.

    I do love your conspiracy theories. I mean, can you prove Trump didnt torture, kill and hack him up himself? I mean, go big or go home.
