Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will certainly make more news in the years to come. Not sure how he will end, in what way.. but no one has forgotten how he killed a journalist. And how he then got rid (executions) of the people he accussed of overstepping lines (he totally didn't authorize any of this.. the travel of what, 15 hitman? he didn't notice... all those guys overstepped lines and misunderstood.. took the butcher knives with them because they misunderstood... took the DOCTOR with them to advise during the butchering.. by BIG misunderstanding.. )
My guess is drone strike. But it will be a long time, 20 years or so until we don't need that country any more, and can get rid of him like he got rid of the journalist. Karma is unavoidable.
A well known middle eastern tradition.
Wasn’t it the Turkish sultans who killed all their brothers by garroting them with a silken bowstring?
Queen Athalia in 2 Kings 11:1 took care of the “seed royal” except for one child who was hidden and eventually overthrew her.
Shakespeare says that that wasn’t the British way when Henry V. came to the throne:
“This new and gorgeous garment, majesty,
Sits not so easy on me as you think.
Brothers, you mix your sadness with some fear:
This is the English, not the Turkish court;
Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds,”
Women have ore freedom in Saudi Arabia.
Jamal Khashoggi was a tool of the Saudis, the Muslim Brotherhood, of the Washington Post and others. His execution was karma.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman seems like a bad guy and a cad. He lives in a sea of them. Judge him context.
If we do not need Saudi Arabia for oil and Japan or Europe does not need Saudi Arabia does not need them for oil, we still need them. Figure it out.
Drone Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over Jamal Khashoggi? It is a blood sport. Just because Jamal Khashoggi sits at the sidelines throwing sucker punches does not mean that Jamal Khashoggi was not a full and willing player.
If you feel sorry for Jamal Khashoggi, go back in time and feel sorry for all the sling and arrows Mussolini took as a journalist.
Hey wnu, the word in SA is (the king is dead long live the king)
A smarter way to go about something like this would be to mark them down as infected by the coronavirus, quarantine em, and make em disappear courtesy of the virus.
