Given the ailing state of the Saudi economy I doubt that they would seriously cut off their only source of revenue; not when it would mean that many of its present customers would turn to more secure sources.

I composed this Saudi Arabia flag cartoon because a saw was used to chop up the journalist.
A real Saudi Flag has a sword.

You spelled 'the Collective' wrong.. Be interesting to take one apart to see what it takes to cheer for the deaths of 50,000 people, most who are women and children.

Albright was Jewish too and she is as fuked as it comes, so is the rest of the collective, globally rather than the fuktards that hide out in this place.

Suspects in disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi linked to Saudi security services

Turkish officials provided a list of 15 Saudis who Turkey says participated in the disappearance and alleged killing of Khashoggi inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.

Eleven of those included on the list have ties to the Saudi security services, according to their posts on social media, emails, local media reports and other material reviewed by The Washington Post.

Who is we? North America hardly gets any oil from the Middle East.

Over the last 10 years, Canada has spent $20.9 billion on Saudi crude
Between 2007 and 2017, Statistics Canada figures show that Canada imported a total of $20.9 billion of Saudi Arabian petroleum oils. For context, this is almost precisely what Canada spends on its military per year. It’s also way more than the expected $15.7 billion cost of the Energy East pipeline. On average, in recent years, Saudi Arabia supplies about 10 per cent of Canada’s oil imports. Canada, in turn, is responsible for buying roughly 1.5 per cent of total Saudi oil exports. What’s more, Saudi Arabia is climbing the leader board of countries that Canada’s relies upon for its foreign oil. As recently as 2010, Saudi Arabia ranked as Canada’s fifth largest supplier of foreign oil (behind Algeria, Norway, the U.K. and Kazakhstan). Now, Saudi Arabia is second only to the United States.


(I bet very little of that Saudi oil is being shipped into Western Canada though....)

When you hear the North American media rant on about Saudi Arabia and the murder of the journalist it is just as though history began today.

Everybody is talking about rendition and torture and Yemen because of Saudi Arabia, but NATO countries were doing the same thing and it was America who approved of the Yemen war years ago. Does Saudi Arabia have people held without charge in a place like Guantanamo for nearly 20 years?

Israel is doing the same thing to its enemies and abusing human rights that Saudi Arabia is doing.

U.S. intelligence officials are increasingly convinced a dissident Saudi journalist was killed and the crown prince was culpable in his death.

Trump is siding up with the Saudis........ and creating smoke and mirrors with alternative theories.

How can Trump be an objective leader .......when he has so much financial investment with SA........(and other places??) His motives are controlled by his own personal interests. He is actually using the presidency for his own personal gain.
He certainly does not Lett he facts get in his way .. while making things u pas it suits HIM. There is NOT one iota of compassion in that narcissist for the person who was probably tortured, dismembered in the most atrocious way. Not a word of compassion or caring for the fiance left standing at the embassy. His callousness and cruelty is boundless.
