Trump is celebrating a murderous thug. Okay, we have to have relations with Saudi Arabia, the oil-rich kingdom who plays an important role in the Middle East. But we don’t have to lavishly celebrate with an imitation state dinner its brutal autocratic ruler Mohammed bin Salman. To remind, it was MBS who ordered the brutal murder of Washington Post columnist
Jamal Khashoggi, dismembering his body, chopping it into pieces. He started a costly and probably, or he continued a costly and probably counterproductive war with the Houthis. His dream city in the desert for nine million people, was gonna be a mega city, it’s a flop. It’s ending up more like a drive-in village.
and his internal repression is as brutal as ever. But the lure is for business and especially for the Trumps. MBS already gave son-in-law Jared Kushner a sweetheart deal that others in the kingdom opposed. And no doubt the red carpet treatment today is out there for subsequent lucrative big time grifting for the Trumps. They’re always in it for the money. But as you watch these celebrations of this guy today,
Just remember two words, Remember Khashoggi.
