Forgetting Jamal Khashoggi: Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia and brute realism : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 23/11/2018

Murdering journalists might be 'bad', but worse is to hold a cashed-up medieval theocracy to account for it.

The most believable truth of Uncle Donald is his consummate lying.
As opposed of course, to the Democrats, who lie behind a facade of truth!

This is only an issue because Trump and MBS have grown close and that closeness threatens to further unravel Obama's middle-eastern legacy and to change the situation to the advantage of Israel.

I look forward to the author's next article on Meng Hongwei and how we need to hold Xi to account.

Hypocrites all the way down.

The US always pretended to fight for democracy when it didn't. China can't spell "human rights". Maybe everyone is on the same page now and knows it's just $ power. With his tariffs coming from behind to bite him, Trump needs all the business he can negotiate to buy greatness.

No problem.

The Saudis' oil power make them exempt from morality and also honorary Americans.

After all the mastermind of 9/11 was a Saudi.

Most of the suicide pilots, who, as honorary Americans, waltzed through American avaition security, then slammed into the Twin Towers, were Saudis.

No conspiracies please.

Who will Trump get to gold-plate Trump Tower?
"Saudi Binladen Group signed US$1.23 billion to construct the tallest building in the world, Jeddah Tower. In 1964, Mohammed bin Laden was commissioned to recladding the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. In 1972, Salem bin Laden, the eldest son of Mohammed bin Laden, died in a plane crash in 1988. The government of Saudi Arabia subsequently established a five-person committee to run the Binladen Group .The Group is constructing Abraj Al Bait Towers in Mecca. On 9/11 2015 while doing construction work in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, one of the Group's cranes collapsed due to high winds causing 118 deaths and almost 400 injuries."

It's believed these were not Binladens , honorary Americans or great Americans. No royal princes were harmed in testing these products.
