Krishnadev Calamur, The Atlantic: Saudi Arabia Does a Big Favor For Iran
With its alleged hand in the disappearance of a dissident journalist, the kingdom stands accused of the sort of actions it usually calls out the Islamic Republic for carrying out.
When the Trump administration talks about “severe punishment” for a country in the Middle East, it is generally referring to Iran, a country whose regional influence troubles both its Arab neighbors as well as the United States. Yet on Sunday, President Trump used those words to describe what could happen to Saudi Arabia— arguably the closest U.S. ally in the Muslim world— if investigations determine that the regime is complicit in the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, the dissident journalist.

Khashoggi was a top Muslim Brotherhood member.
This is why the Radical Chic Leftist WaPO and the DC Deep State loved him.
So what if KSA agents killed Khashoggi.
He was at best a terrorist apologist. At worst, a intel agent and secret leader of the MB in SA.
To top it all off, he was still foolish enough to still be a subject of Saudi Arabia.
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
