I'm not a defender of Saudi Arabia but besides him being born there how is it relevant? He does business in Africa and was educated in and lives in the US. Is there any indication he was a anti-Saudi activist? I don't see any so why should that be brought up at all?
- escape_goat 6y agoI haven't found any indication that he said anything against the Saudi regime. I brought it up because he appears to have been executed according to a professional (if bungled) plan reminiscent of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by the Saudi state. I think it merits contemplation any time anyone with Saudi connections is professionally murdered and dismembered.
- devalgo 6y agoSure but Khashoggi was a very high profile Journalist and Activist and that happened on Turkish soil. An assassination like that in the US would be a dramatic change in their behavior and politically very hazardous.
- electro_blah 6y agolol. dude, Turkish goons beat the shit out of American people in front of cameras and got way with it.
- dontcarethrow2 6y agoI would just like to add, on American soil.
- devalgo 6y agoYeah assault and murder + dismemberment are clearly the same amirite

You guys got hysterical and blamed the Saudis based on no facts and you were completely wrong? Who would of guessed? Oh wait, I did.
