And just like that, we're back to being the police department for the world.

Our country because of its status and influence has a history of championing human rights in situations like this. All of a sudden you think we should no longer give a flying rats ass? Why? Lives don’t matter to you? Do you have any moral compass or just when it concerns you personally?

Among other things, may have triggered the global Magnitsky act.

Luring somebody to an embassy that’s on foreign soil and assasinating them - killing them with no judicial process - is a heinous crime that among other things sets a very bad and dangerous precedent. Aside from being cowardly and dishonorable, it would be short sighted and foolish to let it go without consequences.

If that’s what happened, but apparently there’s video and audio.

So 45 is now threatening severe consequences. Oh no! Is he policing the world? Is he actually going to do anything or is it all talk? Well see.

The Saudis need us more than we need them.

Ahhh! Finally something from you that makes sense...

 

[enlytend]

This is actually pretty funny:
Me (right after the incident was reported, while 45 was still dithering): That’s awful. We need to look into this and impose consequences if it happened.
Greek Chorus of Trumpists: Damn liberal, We’re not the worlds police.
POTUS: “We’re going to get to the bottom of this and there will be severe punishment” if Khashoggi was murdered.
Greek Chorus of Trumpists: Yehaw! Now that’s what Im talking about! Yeah baby! Give em hell, Donald!

Rambling.

The USA is involved in seven civil wars. Democrat leadership blew up north Africa and now people are starving.

You've written two rambling post today, one with such congnative dissonance it was dizzying. Not only do you not know what happened, your "concerns" are nothing more than self-virtuous, politically motivated hand wringing.

What Status? Perpetual debt, which doubled under Obama? I don’t admire indebted countries. And the US babysitting the rest of the world has increased the deficit. Trump is the first President since Reagan that believes in peace through superior firepower. And insisting external countries pay for defense. This imposing of the captalism anywhere possible, has been a failure. Look at Iraq. Trillions of wasted tax dollars and lives destroyed in Soldiers, their families and Iraq locals. The US taxpayer pays the bills or should I say peoples grandchildren will be left with the debt. US taxpayers paying more for NATO protecting the EU, than the EU?

Rubio is an idiot equally stupid comments as Sanders today, myopic and ignorant economic views on how the world works. Trump too is ignorant if he exchanges some stupid political human rights statement embargoing SA arms trading over a non citizen, nobody missing journalist for 1000’s of US Defense jobs and military sales. This is a delicate balance. SA will retalitate and F up the entire oil situation too, its a no win situation. $10 a gallon gas in a year.? Are you willing to pay that to prove a point? There are hundreds of killed, missing or imprisoned US Citizens around the world. Why is that guy more important?

First off, I never mentioned that guy at all, so not part of the Greek Chorus. Secondly you are always jumping the gun with anything related to Trump, assuming that behind the scenes he and his staff are doing NOTHING.

What do you want him to do? Telegraph to everyone and to whole world what he's gonna do? Your impatience towards Trump and everything he does or doesn't do when you want him to do it, is because of your pure hatred for him...

Viva Trump and Build that Wall

We’re going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment,” Trump told CBS’s “60 Minutes” program, according to an excerpt of an interview that was released on Saturday.

This is a very precarious situation. I hope its rhetoric only. He should do some obligatory hand slapping. If Trump embargoes arms sales or punishes SA, he will damage the ME power balance, oil trading, SA cooperation with keeping Iran contained, US bond investments, many American and other subcontacor jobs in defense... and like with the Iran deal.... Germany, France, Russia and China will simply align with economic output and arm sales to SA. Do we need all that mess to retaliate? We have to look at the bigger picture here.

I hope he concentrates on US politics and keeping Congres and not getting sidetracked.

Without US support, the Saudis could not wage that war in Yemen.
It was another of MBS' brilliant ideas. He has gone too far lately and I think somebody should slap him back.

It could be argued that SA has become less of an asset and more of a liability nowadays, especially when it's no longer being a factor of stability in the region. That is for the bigger picture.

 

[offthehandle]

The Brainwashed UK Police spreading lies...
MET POLICE CAUGHT TELLING PUBLIC YESTERDAY'S DFLA PROTEST WAS A FAR RIGHT EDL MARCH...

Met Police brutality in London (DFLA protest against extremism)

Thanks for keeping the UK updates. They really have changed since 80’s. I will never go back there on vacation, just like I said about France before.

 

[offthehandle]

I see, this is another slap on President Trumps and his fault for not sending in troops there too. Policing All these ethnic and civil wars. Or was that under Obamas watch? What about Nicaragua? Or Venezuela? Both are in our western hemisphere. They had actual economies, resources and intelligent people. I have no clue what Yemen produces or exports.

Btw: Without US Support, you’d grown up speaking Russian, or German, right?

Salted Fish? Please. Not an exporter or importer of US. So why should we care? Let China and the EU spend their money to figure it out.:

wikipedia:
As of 2013, exports from Yemen totaled $6.694 billion. The main export commodities are crude oil, coffee, dried and salted fish, liquefied natural gas. These products were mainly sent to China (41%), Thailand (19.2%), India (11.4%), and South Korea (4.4%). Imports as of 2013total $10.97 billion. The main imported commodities are machinery and equipment, foodstuffs, livestock, and chemicals. These products were mainly imported from the EU (48.8%), UAE (9.8%), Switzerland (8.8%), China (7.4%), and India (5.8%).[300]

A broken clock is right twice a day dummy. You still aren't getting it, apparently because they said the opposite on fox news. Was the math a little too complex...I'm sorry, congrats tho for dragging out your own public humiliation, just more evidence that you enjoy being played. Start actually giving a sheet about our Country, instead of your pathetic, corrupt, lying team and I will start giving a sheet about you.

Projection.

Do your even know what “cognitive dissonance” is or are you just trying out a big word you saw somewhere?

I’m going to say the latter because
1) There is nothing inconsistent in my posts (i.e. you didn’t use it appropriately) and
2) you can’t spell it.

Nothing I write is “dizzying” if you have some reading skills. Work on that.

I’m done with you. More productive (and interesting) having a discussion with a rock.

No need to worry... he only said it to make Enlytend feel good. I'm sure he will concentrate mostly on US Politics and Keeping Congress as well as the upcoming Fictitious and Fake scandals that the DemonRATS and their Partners, the Liberal Media are gonna invent before the mid-terms to try and derail him and the Republicans. That is guaranteed!!!
