This Saudi

[Brigade77]

A game is being played & it's called 'The Power Game'. Politicians love this sort of stuff, they can get allsorts of concessions from the House of Saud like arms contracts, holidays on super yachts, world class escort ladies & BIG FAT brown envelopes stuffed full of untraceable $Dollars.

Crown Prince is trying to distance himself from ordering this.
Hence the "rogue operation" narrative of a few days' ago.
To save his skin and keep up that pretence, he's going to have to throw some under the bus.
Can't bode well for his future security, that his inner circle know they're all dispensable......

In coups no one is safe.

While that may be the case, I don't see how it applies here.

Unless you think the US will allow the overthrow of the House of Saud.......

I am referring to MBS coup and his accession to power.

medieval barbarity

medieval, it will never change, we got all the technology,knowledge, but we cannot stop being wicked.

 

[durhamplumber]

Unbelievable that this still goes on in this day and age..

Naive,much much worse goes on.

 

[Brigadier]

Which is why this "boycott Saudi" stuff is just virtue signalling.

Overthrowing the odious HoS, and overthrowing the particularly odious MbS are not the same thing.

Journalist

Turkey is (was) making a big fuss.

Turkey has imprisoned more journalists than the rest of the world put together.

I was already aware of that.

The poster thought that a diplomat had been murdered.

 

[transam]

Said on the radio that the head of the CIA has heard the recording of the murder that the Turks claim to have ??

 

[nauseous]

They wont care what the world thinks, probably didn't even stuff a rag in his mouth. Deliberately sent a message to the world, in someone elses backyard.

 

[transam]

Turks will use this caper to get some money out of the Saudis to prop up there economy

Russians fully support the Saudis there investment bank sniffs an opportunity as do the Chinese

Germans have stopped arms sales
Which is basically non existent any way

The U.K. Should mind its own bussiness . S**t happens
