Looks like Trump has had yet another change of opinion.

He might even write a tweet with capitol letters!

People's naivety never stops to amaze. He knew he was on the black list of the Saudi regime and he knew he was a thorn in the Saudi flank - why the heck did he enter the lion'S cave without company, or better even without a lawyer? If you poke your arm into the viper's cave, you better have some serum ready.

Turkey and Saudi the pot accusing the kettle

Khashoggi was arrested in the embassy before being tortured, killed and dismembered by about 15 Saudi operatives who arrived in Istanbul on a day flight from Riyadh and departed a few hours after Khashoggi's killing. It is hard to believe that the Turkish services, which have always played the double- and triple-crossing game, did not know what was happening. Khashoggi himself had probably received assurances that the Saudi embassy in Istanbul was a safe place to collect the documents. He was obviously betrayed by someone in whom he had strong trust.

Turkey is a strong ally of Qatar and plays a major role in the region. Relations between Riyadh and Ankara have not been the best in recent years, but their common interests in the region are so high that it is not surprising that Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization has closed more than one eye to allow Khashoggi's assassination and the exit of the 15 operatives.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia to enhance collaboration on Syrian crisis



"If Ankara, Riyadh and Doha would agree on the 'safe zone' idea that has been voiced by President Erdoğan, it would greatly benefit the people in the region, while also curbing Iran's expansionist policies."

So now the story is that 15 rogue agents walked into the consulate and accidentally killed and dismembered this journalist.

Reminds me of

I dont like what happened to Khashoggie anymore than the next fella. But this guy wasn't just some innocent journalist writing about freedom and democracy. He was a player in deep and knew a lot about the games people in power play the funding and arms. From the days fighting the Soviets in Afganistan, 9/11, until the day he walked in the Saudi consulate.



Mess with the bull you get the horns.

So the answer is: Murder him, dismember the body and dispose of it? :hmmm:

Depends on the question you ask.

In that world which he lived in, I guess so.


The disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018, and was never seen leaving it, is a trending topic in the Arabic press, particularly the Saudi press. Khashoggi, whom some Turkish elements surmise was murdered by the Saudis inside the consulate, is a veteran Saudi journalist well known in the Arab world, especially for his criticism of the Saudi regime and his support for the Muslim Brotherhood. In the past year Khashoggi even moved to the U.S. in fear for his life, and began writing a Washington Post column; in it, he was harshly critical of Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman.

<O>

I still wonder why the killing of heads of states is considered as a no-no. Would spare humanity a lot of killing, bribery, blackmailing and nonsense.

I called it back on page 1:
