A Saudi named Jamal Khashoggi who lived in the United States working for the Washington Post was last seen inside of a Saudi consulate in Turkey. His disappearance has caused an international firestorm. While many are demanding his release, it is very likely that he was murdered inside the embassy. There has been all sorts of talk about how a Saudi assassination team killed him and dismembered his body with a bone saw Pulp Fiction style.
Khashoggi has been a high profile critic of the Saudi government and it appears as if the Saudis thought that they could just have him murdered inside their own consulate building without any problems. It’s worth noting that the Saudis have released no security camera footage to prove that he ever left the building. There’s even been video footage provided by the Turks that appear to show the aforementioned assassination squad entering the consulate.
If the Saudis didn’t just disappear this guy, they would have simply provided footage showing him leaving the building. So there’s lots of questions here. All the evidence points to this being a Saudi government sanctioned assassination.
What’s great about this incident is that it has prompted all sorts of people within the American mainstream of politics and media to demand action against the Saudis.
CNN and MSNBC are actually criticizing Donald Trump for not being forceful enough against Saudi Arabia over this.
These people are obviously not thinking about the geopolitics behind it. They’re freaking out largely because this involves someone they personally know who works in their profession.
Because from a geopolitical standpoint this is fantastic. Trump was previously very critical of the Saudis and talked about how many Saudis were involved in the 9/11 attacks. This gives him an opening to take aggressive action against them.
Rand Paul is calling for military aid to be pulled from the Saudis.
This week, I intend to introduce another measure to cut all funding, training, advising, and any other coordination to and with the military of Saudi Arabia until the journalist Jamal Khashoggi is returned alive. https://t.co/3wGT30HWEc

But it isn’t just him demanding action. 22 senators both Republicans and Democrats are demanding action against the Saudis over this.
Trump is saying that they’re looking into the situation but that they don’t want to immediately suspend a military deal with the Saudis worth many billions of dollars. I do get the economic aspect of it, but if it is 100 percent proved that the Saudi government hacked up this guy with a bone saw, this is going to greatly change American relations with the Saudis.
Overall this is great news. The Saudis are the biggest Jew proxy in the Middle East and the source of many geopolitical problems throughout the region. Strained relations with them is a good thing, not a bad thing.
