    Trump says US stands with Saudi Arabia despite journalist Khashoggi’s killing

    President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the U.S. stands with Saudi Arabia in the wake of the slaying of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

    In a lengthy statement — punctuated with eight exclamation points — Trump said that “we may never know all of the facts surrounding” Khashoggi’s death, but “our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

    Only a fool would kill a successful 70 year old relationship over this FUBAR.

    You do know that Khashoggi was Muslim Brotherhood and wanted a global caliphate under Sharia law.. He was NOT secular nor was he about "democracy".

    Trump got elected claiming he would ban ALL Muslims.

    Default The World Is A Dangerous Place, Especially With Venal, Amoral, Blood-Money Profiteers

    The World Is A Dangerous Place, Especially With Venal, Amoral, Blood-Money Profiteers As "Leaders"

    Apparently it wasn't bad enough the Racketeer-In-Chief just abandoned any meager pretense of moral principle by choosing to accept Saudi Arabia's barbarous murder of a journalist, their slandering him as "an enemy of the people," and their complicity in war crimes in Yemen, all in favor of "a record amount of money" that will create "much additional wealth" that doesn't actually exist: According to experts, Trump's "$110 billion" in arm sales is in fact $14.5 billion, and his "450,000 to 600,000" jobs is in fact 17,500 jobs, a nigh-on invisible fraction of America's workforce of 160 million. Thus did Trump proclaim once and for all America only cares about money - even when it's a chimera - and won't even pretend to stand for lofty nonsense like justice.

    Agreed.
    Trump needed to side with the Individual over the State.
    We don't have to completely shun KSA in our business dealings, but we should make it clear this is NOT what the USA supports or condones.

    What happens next time? Has Trump set a precedent?
