Allegedly, of course. Really wanted to fit "American journalist dismembered by Muslim extremists" for it's impact, but limited space and all...
Anyway, I'm quite for the idea of sanctioning Saudi Arabia for this, since this is a direct assault on an America resident, and frankly we need to have our country at our backs, when push comes to shove. Let's be honest, though; Trump is hinting he's going to essentially absolve the Saudi leadership for... reasons... or I could be totally wrong and Mr. 45 will sign off on sanctions against them in order to punish them for this transgression, which would be great! I'll likely be proven right in a few days, though.
Rather than focus on how America's got a price on her to turn the other way when her people are savagely targetted and murdered by other countries, I'd rather see conservatives on here justify this treachery. How is letting Saudi Arabia get away with murdering Americans the right thing to do?
Y'all want to get the rest of America on the anti-Middle East train, this is your ticket: even the most progressive of us are demanding some form of retribution for this (as are a few Republicans, to their credit, though for how long before they toe the party line again...). I'll give y'all full credit if you're actually bipartisan/principled on it, but I'll be honest - I'm more here for the dancing around y'all will do in order to stick with Mr. 45 on it.
Before it crops up, yes, I'm aware the Saudi government gave a veiled threat of economically retaliating if we take any action, to which I ask when that's ever stopped Mr. 45 before? He tariffs countries all the time (enemy and ally alike) and soaks up billions in losses from retaliation already, so why run scared of it now when there's actually a goddamn good reason to do it, with the Democratic/Progressive/Neoconservative blessing, even?
Anyway, let's see how people dance around THIS one! đź‘Ť
