This is not a story in "Pulp Fiction", this is reality. It's the reality we -the tortured people living in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia- have been telling the world, and even screaming to get our voices heard: criticizing the regime in Saudi Arabia is met by a very long torture that would probably end with death or permanent disability.
A crime like this might hint and show that when superpowers like the U.S, support a bloodthirsty, barbaric regime like the Saudi regime, it will eventually lead to a backfire, like we saw with Canada first, then Jamal's murder.
But the very strange thing in all of this, is how the president of the U.S; Donald Trump; ignored most warnings since he came to power, and strengthened his relationships with the psychopaths ruling that kingdom.
The U.S is now -because of him- drenched to its ears in the blood of Jamal; without the unconditional support of Trump; Saudi Arabia would probably think twice before exporting its barbarism to other parts of the world.
My concern is always about the innocent; not about the likes of Trump. Seeing the Sauds bully Canada and murder people like Jamal Kashoggi is terrifying to me, because I know that this is only the start: the Sauds under the leadership of MBS will go further than that, especially domestically.
Trump is an irresponsible asshole that deserves to stand in front of court for supporting such criminals. Matter in fact I think he is a criminal too in this crime; the asshole had intelligence reports showing that Jamal was going to get killed.
This man has blood on his hands.
I wish the investigations bring down the Sauds for good; and bring their image to bottom of the barrel,along with Trump and Kushner.
Journalism in the west is the cornerstone of checks on power. Long before this horrific event, we have seen other journalists murdered, like the two Japanese journalists murdered by Isis. But we have had for a couple years now a sitting president who has vilified journalists and that sends a very dangerous message to oppressive theocracies and dictatorships.
But no, Trump is not just "irresponsible", he is flat out dangerous. We had a politician assault a journalist already, and the worst part is our right wing don't care and the fucker still ran an won because of Trump's vile rhetoric is spreading among lower party members all the way down to the local level.
