How can we say any western leaders are enlightened and modern when they conduct business with the animals at Saudi? Enough is enough. BOYCOTT SAUDI!
Jamal Khashoggi Murder | Ordered Directly by MBS

Seems like there will be some consequences with Branson possibly pulling out of a $1bn deal and everyone deserting this conference (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45838471)
The whole Muslim world is suffering because of Saudi. They are the ones responsible for most of this crap and all other countries keep getting the blame. They have the unfortunate grip on holy lands and have money and so U.S will turn a blind eye.
The Saudis should get help from Moscow to smooth this over. They were just gay sightseers etc.
Like all supposed Republican dissidents I suspect Graham will back down soon and demonstrate himself to have no backbone.
I surely hope so, but let's see if something tangible happens .

Don't think there's a chance in hell of it passing Senate.
It definitely would if Republicans are behind it.
This admin will fight tooth and nail against it.
They may initially, but if the Republicans are behind it then it would be veto proof. (See the Russia sanctions imposed on Trump earlier this year).

Trump will be spitting and kicking.
All his personal money....
Its going to be fun.
Personally I doubt the no balls Republicans will do anything against their Master.

Hope I’m around when the Saudis run out of their huge sums of money.
What’s their answer to the question about releasing CCTV footage of yer man inside the consulate?

Diabolical stuff. His Apple Watch was apparently paired to his iphone outside, which recorded everything.

Quite the Bluetooth signal strength if true.
Likely a diversion by the Turks, who don't want to be called out for having bugged the Saudi embassy. The story was put out by their government paper.
Yeah, why would the watch be recording anyway?
I suppose there's a chance he'd leave it recording just in case.

That's how the Turks are framing it, although I'm guessing they are doing it because they don't want to admit they have listening devices all over the consulate.
Yeah, likely
There’s literally not a single story on the Fox News homepage about this event.
The Fox News demographic probably think of SA as the magical land from Aladdin. No need to crush their reality when the US has so much business to do with them.
Their viewers are in an alternate reality. Can't forget the woman on CNN who actually believed NK no longer had nuclear weapons.
Poor Muslims are bad Muslims
I am out of the loop on details. Will wait for the not too distant future movie to find out what happened, starring Nicolas Cage, directed by Paul Greengrass
Not a fan of profiteering off of children being murdered, eh.
As in Boycot petrol and Uber... Not gonna happen
What’s the likelihood of the Saudis and the Turks coming to an “arrangement” whereby the Saudis end up saying it was carried out by a group of rogue operators or tourists and they’ve now been caught and imprisoned etc or the Turks say it’s just been a misunderstanding/tapes have been lost etc.
Saudis definitely have no intention of admitting to this murder but their backs are really against the wall right now and the Turks definitely do not want to admit to bugging the Saudis so some compromise will most likely have to be reached, especially if the Turks do have real and incriminating evidence. Saudi money carries great weight in the world.

I’m not sure I understand Uber comment but we can at least not have wwe host events there
What backs? What wall? In two weeks everyone will have forgotten it.
About as likely as us winning the league with Lukaku. They are adversaries on many fronts.
I hope you’re right but I have my doubts.
The Saudi government investment fund owns a big chunk of Uber (and Tesla) and lots of the worlds solar farms... Basically they are going to be difficult to boycot
Its difficult to boycot them as individual. Governments could hurt them really badly. An upgraded version of the Magnitsky Act would prevent them from havig any access to western societies and thats what they want/need.
People were so gullible with the whole women driving thing. Finally, women are allowed to drive, hurray Saudi Arabia! They're "reforming".
It was a necessary PR move which they probably hated to do, but it's these kind of actions that shuts people up for a while.

It would also make them more insular and potentially stop any reforms and become an Uber well funded (literally) state version of Isis... So just depends what we want / need in the west as well
Isis was a version of them.
