Saudi suspected of killing journalist at their Consulate and dismembering him

[boutons_deux]

Of course, Trash's BFF puppetmaster / pimp Pootin and his oil/gas revenue in hard $$$ would also benefit from KSA pushing oil to $100+.

The collapse of oil price in the 1980s is what collapsed the USSR, not St Ronnie the Diseased Useful Idiot

[in2deep]

I don't think the KSA will limit production, build Russian or Chinese bases or price their biggest investment in anything other than dollars.

I do think there's a chance they'll ditch the crown prince.

On the other hand:

I dont think US would sanction Saudi, or even take issue up with UN.

US will most likely make Saudi pay billions in reparations and possibly pin the entire blame on a “rebel” Saudi royal who will be executed as punishment.

Trump protecting his financiers:

"That being said, the king firmly denied any knowledge of it, he didn't really know. Maybe, I don't want to get into his head, but it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers, who knows," Trump told reporters.

Israelis obviously are very quiet and secretly supporting and helping Saudis. This is yet another golden opportunity to get them hook line and siker. If they somehow can protect BinSalman the Clown Prince, they will own him for the rest of his days and he would do their bidding

jerusalem post:

Eran Lerman, the vice president of the Jerusalem Ins ute for Strategic Studies and a former deputy national security council head, said: “It is certainly not in our interests to see the status of the Saudi government diminished in Washington.”
...
Lerman envisions a scenario where Jewish political organizations in Washington – such as the American Jewish Committee, which he once worked for as head of its Israel office – may actually go to Capitol Hill, as they have done in the past, and discreetly lobby for the Saudis, something that could paradoxically bring the two countries even closer together.

The conservative Israeli government is quiet.

Just look at the more left leaning papers in Israel and you will see they had already bagged the Saudi “clown” Prince. Looks like he made a very desperate almost divorced from reality hit.

After Trump talked with Putin Trump claimed no election interference because Putin said so. He pulls the same here. But his own party in Congress leveled sanctions. So when China’s ambassador to the US he said he’s not sure who speaks for the US on trade deals.... he has a point. So I guess Trump’s strategy of not leading is confusing.

But what the .

[pgardn]

But we don't. That's the point.

So foreign affairs are not important on a political discussion board...
Good to know.

Why Are The Saudis Getting the Russia Rules?

This morning President Trump announced a flat denial from Saudi King Salman (who is not really the effective ruler of the country) and his (Trump’s) su ion that “rogue killers” are likely behind Khashoggi’s disappearance.

Incredulity is warranted.

This is a carbon copy of what we’ve seen for the last two years in President Trump’s denials of Russian interference in the US elections and other bad acts.

You have the same kinds of alternative theories – 400 pound guy in a basement, “rogue killers”.

given the geopolitical situation and the parlous state of the Turkish economy,

there’s really no clear reason for the Turks to provoke a confrontation with the Saudis.

This is a carbon copy of how President Trump deals with anything tied to Vladimir Putin and Russia.

There’s every reason to think the reasons are also the same – some mix of threat or personal enrichment.

President Trump says his $110 billion arms deal is too much to risk.

That deal doesn’t exist.

It’s a mix of Obama-era deals,

a portion of genuinely new purchases and

a lot of what amounts to letters of intent.

It is all spread over many years.

It’s another Trump smoke and mirrors claim.

The geopolitics are much more of an issue for the US than those arms sales.

And in any case, President Trump does not care about any of that.

President Trump acts likes this when there’s something personal or familial at stake.

We already know the Trump Family and the Saudis have deep economic ties and multiple business deals.

What are the business and other ties binding the Trump and Kushner families to the Saudi regime?

Jared has visited SA several times.

Trash's FIRST foreign trip was to SA, instead of to traditional Western allies, neighbors.

US foreign policy is dependent on Trash's and his mafiya's finances.

Pootin bought/owns Trash, along with SA Prince as Trash-purchaser in progress.

Not "we" as in the board, but "we" as in the country, the federal government. Historically we don't care about the many, but we find a sweetheart story and adopt it. We're a nation of token care moments.

Me? You?

The US Government?

Actually, yeah. We have turned our head as hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed in yemen. Guess this one is 1000000x more important.
