Bruh, Murica ain't doin' **** but setting the stage for doing business with the Saudis. Don't look to us for justice. It's gonna come from some other country if it's coming at all.

I mean you wouldn't look to us for justice on any other thing so why look to us for justice right now when our economy is at stake?

Hey now, Muricabro was pretty adamant that justice be served in the Skripal case, and the guy didn't even die there: Skripal attack: Russia faces US sanctions over poisoning


But Russiabro is not a brobro like Saudibro.

Murica lays the smackdown. Justice is served.

America: rad bro, beers later?
Saudi Arabia: Seen 5:10 PM

If the Saudi prince just hired terrorists to blow up the entire embassy and killed everyone in it the story wouldn’t have this human interest angle. Just goes to show there’s a lot of truth in go big or go home. On the daily someone said you don’t bring a bone saw to a fist fight. Intrigue.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister has described the kingdom as a “vision of light” in the region
What a comedian.

Quote:
Condemning the media coverage of Khashoggi’s killing as “hysterical”, Jubeir rejected a call from Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Turkish president, to try the 18 suspects in Turkey, stressing that they would be “held accountable” on Saudi soil.
Of course they will. I'm surprised they haven't executed them already.

^ Just seen your T-shirt meme, windsock. Nice!

Today, the Khashoggi case is back on the front page of one of Britain's more serious mainstream newspapers, with a column titled:-

Quote:
Saudi inquiry clears crown prince of involvement in Khashoggi murder.
In a completely unexpected development, it turns out that the crown prince was innocent after all. So that's alright then - it was just a fuss about nothing.

5 Saudis are facing the death penalty for the murder of Khashoggi. Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been cleared of all wrong-doing.
