If I was him; I would've confessed and took asylum in Turkey or Europe
Just curious Atlas - if you could leave your country and go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I really am trying to understand why we "need" their oil so much where there are other less violent countries we could be getting our supply from. I suppose there's always russia?

The temperature seems perfect their for my MS, also Canada is not a stranger to the sickness. Also both are distant from the corruption of Arab governments, I can pretty much talk there without finding criticism for my views.

Have you thought about trying to leave?
Having MS in Saudi Arabia sounds like a horror novel. I'm sorry you have so much on your plate.

Honestly, it's a horror story with you playing the zombie. The heat literally turn you into one. The heat and the poor psychological state are just the perfect mix to worsen your MS.
I tried to leave but I failed. Read about it a lot after finding that I am reaching a blocked road in here.

MSNBC speaking with the former CIA director:

I think Brennan is a bit overly optimistic. If a different president were in the white house, it's possible that pressure could be applied to the Saudis to hold Salman accountable in some form. However, nobody in the Middle East possesses enough leverage to force any concessions from the Saudis, and Trump appears determined to sweep the matter under the rug. It will be an embarrassment and a troubling time for Salman and the Saudis, but in the words of a recent U.S. politician, they will "push through this."
