If you get rid of one of them the position is automatically filled with one of the other two options. It's hard to win when you're working with crap.

The real losers are the poor people that have to live in those countries. Ugh!

Truth. Seen it time and time again in my country.

feel free to move if you think it's that bad here. we won't miss ya.

It’s because Saudi Arabia has a noose around the world. If they are condemned, the price of gas could increase by a factor of 10 or more. Imagine tomorrow spending $40/gallon as opposed to $4/gallon today. They can cut oil output to zero and the rest of the world collapses. Almost every product uses oil so business around the world would collapse if their oil costs increase tenfold.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about money.

I've heard there's audio tape of the murder, but I haven't heard it yet. But it's really weird that there would be audio tape. Why in the world would you tape it?

That is all to say that I'm reserving judgment on this whole issue until I see clear proof of what happened.

Yes my skepticism of ALL media is that high.

Anyone have a link to actual proof of what happened here?

Also, as far as criticizing Trump for how he handles it, who cares? No matter how Trump handles it he will be criticized, that's the nature of politics.

If SA could hurt the whole world by not selling oil, why haven't they already done that? Don't you think that would

hurt them too?

Also, the USA is in a better position based on our own oil production to handle an oil embargo from SA than we have been in many decades.

Frack & Drill baby Drill.

The Turks are the ones who claim to have the tape. The explanation that makes sense is that they had the consulate bugged.

This isn't really why the US has spent so much money and effort preventing democracy in the Middle East, helping the tyrannies in Saudia Arabia and elsewhere.

The real reason is the US dependence on oil.

Every president very quickly comes to understand that we have to help the Saudis suppress any hint of democracy.

Trump should move there and stay there forever.

What the hell are you talking about? The US imports 4 times as much oil from Canada as it does from Saudi Arabia. Is the US afraid of pissing off Canada? Nope. Because it's not about oil.

But. Wait a minute.... how much money has Trump personally made off the Saudi royal family? Yeah, he personally has nothing to gain or lose cutting off traditional US allies like Canada because he makes nothing off Canada. But the Saudi royal family has been there for him when he needed them and even today they spend a lot of money on Trump. Has Canada even bough t yacht off him for $20 million when he needed the cash? Nope. But who has?

But wait, how much did Hillary and Bill make? You're an imbecile. Quit while you're behind.

Uranium One Ring a Bell? The Clintons should move there first.

And how long would the Royal Family last if there was a complete embargo on food and other necessities? Those flabby despots would be chopped to pieces within two months.

It is a world oil market and if there is a disruption of any size to supply, the whole market goes up, not just wherever the disrupted oil would have gone.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Saudi ruling hierarchy is composed of a bunch of selfish, egotistical brats with more money than they deserve.

Ask your president why he's bullying Iran for nothing, while he's a friend with SA who is the real "bad guy" of the Middle East.

Isn't the king of SA the one that Obama went out of his way to bow to? Or was that someone else?

Yes, leave you POS wrote:

Thank you for bringing this to my attention fellow human. The TV man also told me to be angry that Saudis killed a Saudi. This seems very rare. That is very bad, like the Orangeman. Please let me know if I can validate your opinion in the future.

The Brojos have influenced this type of thinking, and they get an award for it????

A journalist from Washington Post was killed. The Washington Post journalist was a friend of many in media. We, as thoughtful citizens of the world should be concerned with the slaughter in Yemen. Ah, we do not talk about slaughter in Yemen because many in western world, especially US do not have clean hands in Yemen. Has anyone noticed: one enlisted serviceman killed, five seconds of coverage on national news; one journalist is killed and we hear about it every day 24 hours a day for a month.

What the F do you think politics is, brainiac?

It's the power to influence and control people and economic factors of a country. It's about power and money, power over money. Duh.
