Carlos Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 A fight with the 15 man team who’d been sent to torture and kill him. A fucking bizarre interpretation of the whole comcept. Quote

Spider Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Why don’t they just tell the truth and tag on a “so what are you going to do about it?” At the end? therell be no serious repercussions for them so they might as well Quote

Although he has skillfully modernised aspects of the country (women drivers etc), he has waged an appalling war against Yemen, and by the way those women who agitated for the right to drive were imprisoned so as not to be free to gloat over their achievement.

Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Malc, I thought the war was against Iran-backed rebels in yemen. Not against it? Quote

Irrespective of who the war is against, it is the civilian population who are suffering. There are some similarities to Syria where multiple factions were fighting. [Of course it's our fault for leaving Aden in the first place.] Quote
e2e4 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 the guy that Don Tizzle were calling 'dopey prince alweed' got purged about 6 months back.. iirc he were one of the saudis that "did 9/11" , so i dont see why his muslim brotherhood mate getting butchered now will start WW3 . its gonna take something else, although i wouldnt be surprised if mr trump touching that globe electrocuted scores of MBS's enemies (although it technically was during the ill Salman's time).. my bad taste pun for this thread - Corned Beef Hashigoggi ......

Marc505 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 The alleged details coming out about what happened here are disgusting, brutal and (maybe most surprisingly) totally brazen. Quote
Guest Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Would there be such a furore if our favourite journo went missing after a meeting at the Reebok? Aren’t journalists just despised anyway, so not really a great loss? Quote
Marc505 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Ah yeah fuck it I suppose, just brutally torture and kill them all. Quote
bolty58 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Bottom line here is that machinery of a state got rid of one of their own citizens. Happening hundreds, if not thousands of times daily around the world. If it had happened on Saudi soil/sand and he wasn't a journalist, it wouldn't rate a mention. I hope we have seen the opportunity here to cement a fantastic trade deal. Quote

Strange that of hundreds of murders all over the world go largely unnoticed but this one, involving a journalist, raises a few journalistic eyebrows. Quote
frank_spencer Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Not only a journalist but a vocal critic of the house of saud who was getting noticed outside KSA Quote

I'd say it's probably more to do with the Turkish president keeping it in the news rather than any journalists digging around for stories Quote

DirtySanchez Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 He has issues with the Saudis doesn't he? Had he said nothing it might have appeared on BBC news 24 at about three in the morning He said summat so it becomes news Quote

Marc505 Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 NY Times has pieced together a lot of the known information, worth a watch this https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/middleeast/100000006154117/khashoggi-istanbul-death-saudi-consulate.html Quote
