None of our business.
Covert operations are often the people’s business, such as the illegal attempt to influence the election in 2016 and undermine the transition and administration afterwards.
So is foreign policy, though not always. Confidential conversations between heads of states are not anyone’s business. Actions taken are. If and when he punishes the Saudis for the alleged murder of a WaPo journalist, it will have to be in a public manner.
This is. He lived in the US and it happened in Turkey. The mess we're in (entangling alliances and all that) is further complicated because both countries our allies.
I hope it brings up a discussion that both political parties have sold out our nation. Since George I we've been at forever war. That's two decades. Saudi Arabia is a place where we're on the wrong side, and we've known it since 911. Saudi Arabia isn't even a real country. It was an invention of the map makers in the 1920s. Nothing has been done to disentangle us from them.
Agreed.
I can’t help wonder if this “reporter” was a CIA operative in light of the cozy relationship between Bezos/Washington Post and the CIA.
IMO, the KSA holds the cards given the US dependence on their position with the petro-dollar.
If the kingdom dumped the petro-dollar there would be a collective squealing unparalleled in history.
Whose business is it?
