Everything else is speculation Or deliberately staged!
How many Journalists have disappeared in Russia, Turkey and elsewhere and what f them? Where is the outcry and the outrage there?
Are we now asked to be selective about these matters?
Or is race, gender, ethnicity involved in how high the level of outrage escalates.
The simple truth is, we have double standards. And selective outrage!
Yes, this new Saudi prince is a bastard, but he's our bastard? And what we once said about the Butcher of Bagdad, before we invaded and executed him. And as history has shown, very little was changed and now, even more, conflict and dictatorial control? And at the cost of thousands of completely wasted lives and treasure!
Time to get out of the middle east and out of any dependence on their oil! Be it Saudi or Iranian or Yemeni oil Or any fully imported oil from anywhere except a known ally with the same interests, agenda and concerns!
My very next vehicle is going to be an EV.
