Maybe we should chop us some dissidents and ship them over as an act of goodwill.
(Did what the old guy asked, would be the correct phrasing)
Saudis have been doing that type of horrendous shit for oh, ever. Hasn't stopped America from being all BFF with them for over 70 years. Ever step foot in DC? How many universities there have entire buildings or monuments donated by the kingdom?
They are a family dictatorship stuck in the stone age. We helped keep them in power with our military, intelligence services, and arms sales. They made sure we had access to their oil and that money from their oil profits would flow to London and New York and that world oil trade was denominated in US dollars. That's all it's ever been about. They scratch our back, we scratch theirs.
Chopping up a dissident is childs play for them, they do that shit for breakfast. These people crucify and behead people in public on the daily, women are virtually slaves there, they execute people for being gay, and they have completely destroyed Yemen and turned it into the worst humanitarian crisis on planet earth. They export Wahhabism- the most vile extreme form of Islam- (
basically terrorism) all over the world and have done so to the tune of $100 billion over the last 40 years. 16 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from....Saudi Arabia. Osama Bin Laden was from...Saudi Arabia! And a very prominent and wealthy Saudi family with close ties to the Saudi crown at that. There was even reporting done by legendary investigative reporter Sy Hersh that the Saudis were paying the ISI to keep Bin Laden hidden on house arrest in Pakistan.
The only reason anyone in US pretended to give a squirt of piss about Jamal Khashoggi is because he lived in America for about year and worked for the Washington Post for 6 months. It's kind of embarrassing to be honest with you. Let's all pretend to care now!
