BBC just aired episode 2 of A Dangerous Dynasty. It's touched upon that the Assad regime arranged the assassination of former Lebanon prime minister. The UN were called in and during their investigation of Lebanese & Syrian officials more people turned up dead. The lead investigator stepped down in fear of his life.
People in power will stop at nothing from remaining in power. It's written all over history.
Now I don't know much about the Saudis but I don't think they would easily comply with sanctions brought against them.
Another reason to move from fossil fuels.
Overall aim - to reduce Saudi and others' leverage on us.
That happened on our turf this doesn’t. Why does the U.K. government have to the world on board. That doesn’t make any sense.
Well you can always start your own thread, oh wait you’ve just done that. Why should it be someone else’s job?
Personally I really don’t get too excited about it. This alleged assisanation made the news as a well known person maybe the victim. In reality by the time I’ve finished writing this response I’m sure dozens others have “disappeared” around the world. People are nasty creatures.
Can somebody explain how Saudi get a free pass for pulling off 9/11 but everybody is losing their **** over a single journalist's death?
I thought Al Qaeda was responsible for 9/11.
The hijackers themselves were from all over the middle east, including Saudi Arabia.
The West will do nothing to jeopardise their billion $ arms exports, often used to kill women and children. Quite sickening really, but $ means more than life to some.

Just spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia who totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their Turkish Consulate. He was with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo...

...during the call, and told me that he has already started, and will rapidly expand, a full and complete investigation into this matter. Answers will be forthcoming shortly.

Just a couple rogue killers, move along, nothing to see here...
Trump: “rogue killers” murdered Jamal Khashoggi, maybe. Everyone else: Saudi Arabia did.
Have always hated our relationship with this corrupt medieval state which funds and arms the evil Islamists who attack us and the world. If Johnson said fudge business over this, I would be singing his praises.
