The Turks don't like the Saudis, who are in bed with Zionist Israel, The Crown and capitalist America. Also, Turkey doesn't have to rely on the Saudis for their oil, they get it from Syria and Iraq. Turkey isn't pussy-whipped.

Nope. They will play lip service by throwing softball sanctions at Saudi Arabia, which will be offset by backdoor cash to make up for it.

I'm not sure of the specifics, but he was outspoken against the House of Saud, and they got uber butt-hurt about it.

I'm guessing that he knew that he was targeted and so did others, so any mysterious death would automatically be deemed foul play. The Saudis probably thought that they could cover it up and get away with it.

Not in our lifetime. It's one big club [The Saudis, Bushes, Israel, The Crown] and we're not in it.
