Islamonuts killing each other.
There is no down side.
There is no down side.
The downside would be, we get buffaloed into coming down hard on Saudi Arabia over this unfortunate wet affair.
The truth is, the guy the Saudis took out is Muslim Brotherhood scum, who had a beef with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the latter's efforts to bring Saudi Arabia into the 21st century. Modernization was against Khashoggi's religion, you see, so he was making himself a pest. The prince's underlings apparently got a little overzealous and took Khashoggi out very clumsily, when they should instead have taken a hint from Sarah Sanders on how to deal with uppity journos.
Khashoggi, you see, is one US person that the US and the world are better off without. But it would have been better to have been so messy about it. I mean, bone saws, sheesh!
I agree; there are no “good guys” in this story as far as free men are concerned.
When Rome lost 1/10 of their global army in the Teutoberg Forest battle in Germany, they gave up any hope of beating the tribes there. From that point forward, they simply sided with whichever side was weaker in struggles there, to help them kill each other instead of Romans.
