Analysis: The US has sanctioned 76 people linked to Khashoggi’s murder, but not Mohammed bin Salman, future king of a strategic Middle East ally

For all the claims by the Trump administration that it could not publish for fear of revealing CIA “sources and methods”, the brief assessment was a logical inference from publicly available material. The 15-member murder squad included seven drawn from the prince’s own bodyguard, in an absolutist monarchy demanding absolute obedience. It was not a great work of sleuthing.

Not acceptable.

Trump was mercilessly attacked for “protecting” the prince. Would we demand action from JoeBiden or allow for his double standard to stand?

What about this

The Saudis are amateurs compared to the US....

Suprise

What have you expected. Saudis have 750 bio in direct investments in the US !

“Unscathed” that was expected! Such individuals are above the law. It’s sadly not a levelled playing field.

Guilty in the court of public opinion only?

A care of Pot calling the kettle black!

Need money

A weak report based on probabilities, without evidence. It is regrettable that this report is issued by the intelligence of a superpower. I hope that America does not lose justice and the allies

انبحوا انبحوا 🐶🐶 فلن يضير سير القافلة 🇸🇦🇸🇦 نبح الكلابي 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇮🇷🇶🇦🇹🇷

The ultra-rich literally get away with murder. What world or state can permit?

How come this 'realpolitik' never applies to Russia, Venezuela, Syria, Iran? Hypocrites, getting paid off Saudi loot.

The Saudis did 9/11 and the US government let them off.

Not an awful lot you can do to one of your main customers and the leader of a country without declaring war.

some are more equal than others....it would seem...have a nice day

Money, Money, Money...

What did you expect from the US? A cuntry of just”us” !!! Lol

The problem is, with an aging & ailing King, MBS could be the Head of State in Saudi within Biden's term in office. Knew there would be no comeback

Next week hell be signing some document to buy a couple of dozen F15's with fully padded fluffy seating.

But where is the evidence

$$$$$$

UK Intelligence knew about MBS plot TO KIDNAP & MURDER Khashoggi THREE WEEKS IN ADVANCE & NEVER WARNED HIM❗️ SO UK TO BLAME AS WELL❗️

Must of made one hell of a deal.... Lol sold out all his boyz....

Money talks

Anyone else read Named, and Shamed as if was Arabic?

It demonstrates that above the level of the nation state or regional groups like the EU anarchy still prevails.

OMG Shocked so a um.

Please note all other US persons: You can be murdered at-will by rogue actors and nothing will be done about it. Justice will not be served.

In other words, the lightweight are to be sanctioned and the converse is true. This is not INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACY; it is INTERNATIONAL HIPOCRISY!

Khashoggi was a spy and a Muslim brotherhood spokesperson. He knew what was coming.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Western leaders have no balls. Remember when oil runs out or ceases to be the Worlds premier fuel, the Arabs power is over.

Weak asf
