Can a PR company manage to fix Saudi Arabia's image after the Jamal Khashoggi murder? But, hey, why not take the money

  Technically you only need to repair their image with the powerful. I don't think there are any single-issue Saudi Arabia voters out there. We're already seeing the effects of this. I saw on the news recently where someone described the recent Saudi Oil attacks as "Saudi Arabia's 9/11" -- an ironic statement, given the fact that more Saudi nationals died hijacking the planes on 9/11 (15 of the 19) than in this attack (0)

    Most people should be concerned about the environmental and economic impact of the attacks.

      This type of thinking should be applied at all times not only when it affects our bottom line. How about the attacks and massacres that SA is doing to the Yemenis? How about US attacking Iraq? Etc.. Yes we should always be concerned!

        Iran backs a proxy terrorist group in Yemen. Iran sparked the Iran-Iraq War.

  And funding 9/11 terrorists... And their ongoing invasion of Yemen... And their atrocious stances on human rights...

  I’ve seen MDB (Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud) publishing startup themed posts in LinkedIn. They are certainly trying to look hip again.

      Thank you you’re right, now I know why Googling for his full name was so difficult.
