MBS better be appreciating every breath he takes from now on.
He could take the fall for this bungled murder. Personally I could care less about Khashogii, he was a thug for much of his adult life.
MBS is making the Saudi's look bad for business and that is a taboo over there.

Of course the Saudi's can bring in new allies such as China and Russia who would never criticize the Saudi's for spilling blood of one of their own. They do it all the time.
