Reason America Refuses to Hold Saudi Arabia Responsible for Murder

- velobro 8y agoThey are scapegoats. The person who ordered the murder, commonly believed to be the Crown Prince, isn't going to face a thing.

- stevenwoo 8y agoIn addition to the other person commenting on the five indicted in Saudi Arabia are scapegoats for MBS, a different set of people in US government attempted to trade the permanent resident guy Turkey wants to kill/shut up in exchange for having Turkey shut down the Khashoggi investigation because it's embarrassing to Saudi Arabia. The USA at the executive level is pretty schizophrenic on the subject. http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/11/khashoggi-turkey-trump-gulen-erdogan-saudi-arabia.html http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/11/khashoggi-turkey-trum...
