Turkish intelligence reports they have audio/visual data produced by Khashoggi, who turned on his Apple watch prior to going into the consulate because he was scared of what could happen. There was audio of his interrogation, torture, and murder in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey, and Turkish intelligence has this.

It is true that agents in the Middle Eastern nations of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iran, Gulf States, etc, play espionage and kill each other's agents, abroad, through extrajudicial assassinations.

Khashoggi was an ally to the United States who was killed for speech. He was not a political agent, just the editor of a Saudi Arabian newspaper that he turned into a voice of the progressives in Saudi society. He was lured in under the guise of getting bureaucratic documents signed....like going to the DMV for a license...and was interrogated, tortured, and murdered. The Saudi Arabian government are being deceptive in the matter.

I'm glad that President Trump is paying attention to this, and I hope he finally does something to let the allies of America in the world know that we actually haven't abandoned them to the illiberal regional superpowers who seek to dominate them.

He obviously came out in boxes

Basically, minus the racey undertones

I read some right-wing trash about how the Turks were just trying to cause another conflict to further their Muslim agenda and bring down western influence in Turkey. After living there for two years myself, I can’t disagree more.

I’d really lean towards trusting the Turks on this one and collecting the evidence they are offering.

In all honesty, Trump’s comments and the way he announces shit sounds more like something that would come out of Kim’s or another dictator’s mouth.
This guy has no fucking idea how to handle international conflict.

Don't see anything big happening, most likely blow over. To me, what's more interesting is why are the Turks blowing them in? They tend to be fairly aligned on the geopolitical front. Both Sunnis, both don't like Iran. To me, this is a signal that there is more divergence in the two countries agendas.

Seems pretty huge to me, going haywire on social media, the brutality and claimed available evidence is actually influencing corporations in freezing Saudi investments. Trump following suit against Saudi Arabia is unheard of, something the public would have liked to see from western governments for quite some time now. And I actually find myself supporting him in doing so.

Yet, I am hesitant to believe anything substantial on a government level will be accomplished, the trade of oil and warfare is highly profitable, then again, with Trump you never know what you are gonna get.
There is another thought on the issue: if actual repercussions are gonna come from corporations instead of the government. It's gonna at least be extremely awkward, to rely on moral guidance from corporations. Stressing the merit for Trump to actually do something.

you have no idea what ur talking about when u speak, do you?

Are you mad because I have real-world experience?
