Pretty absurd. That said, the Saudi government just straight up murdered a journalist in one of their embassies, the whole world knows it and politically it appears things are still business as usual...
- airstrike 8y agoHow is that comparable at all? And no, things aren't business as usual, there have been lots of developments on that story.
