Saudi’s don’t respect TRump

[anatta]

It was in Obama’s first term when I was on another board.

I remember it well because it had me jumping straight legged lol.

Clapper is a disgusting slug.
He's the one that advocated for signature strikes;which are notoriously unreliable as targeting

[Darth Omar]

Trump is handling this well so far.
Trying his best not to rip apart relations while sharks like Lindsey Graham circle around with rash statements

Yup.

The worst thing he could have done is to go off half-cocked before all the facts are in. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a set up of some sort.

I trust Erdogan about as far as I can throw him.

I agree grudgingly..

Young Salman won't recover from this major screw up.

I think trump is making himself look like a money-mad scumbag myself, licking every dictatorial arse in sight while he sets his sights to starve Iranian children, presumably because they are Aryans.

Yeah, Darth.

Khashoggi got what was coming to him for trying to harm all those guys by repeatedly slamming his face into their fists.

Those poor guys. All they were trying to do was be nice.

It must have taken lots of ice packs to bring the swelling down.

Has Trump ever been otherwise?

If he was behind it—it was a pretty bad miscalculation.

I’d be wary of being played by Turkey though. Here is CNBC shilling for the Islamist Erdogan:

Theirs is a barbaric culture, Frankie.

Speaking as a Proud Boy, I would go as far to say it sucks lol.

Turkey and Qatar are allies.

[Darth Omar]

Turkey and Qatar are allies.

They’re both Islamist.

Saudis are anti-Islamist and the young Saudi leader at least *claims* he wants to institute a more liberal government that grants rights to women, religious minorities and etc. So you have to factor that in.

The region is fricking complicated beyond words. It’s tempting to just stay the hell out of it altogether.

Qatar shares the South Pars gasfield with Iran so their loyalties lie with Iran.

This would have happened under Hillary had she been elected—not everything that happens in the world has to do with Donald Trump.

Khashoggi was MB and the MB are Islamist. He also crossed the House of Saud from what I understand. The Saudi ruler, apparently, if he keeps these tactics up, desires to be a secular strong man. Middle East secular autocrats are the lesser of two evils in that part of the world.

A lesson we all should well know by now.

If you (plural) would stop bringing Hillary into every one of trump's screw-ups, your opinions would hold more weight. Nobody knows what Hillary would have done. And it's still wrong to smear the dead man in defense of trump.

Ok, the same thing would have happened under President X lol.

I don’t care how much the media harps on it—Trump has nothing to do with what happened to Kashoggi.

Khashoggi was friends and classmates with Osama Bin Laden.3

To my knowledge nobody said trump had something to do with Khashoggi's murder. It's the weaselly way he's responded to it that's the problem. As usual trump has no clue about the Constitution.

"The US constitution protects any person on US soil—no matter what their status—and US citizens overseas. In 1896, the US Supreme Court ruled that “even an immigrant who had broken immigration law still had the right to make his case to a judge before being ‘deprived of life, liberty, or property.’ “
