Global Events & Politics Überthread

It’s going to be a real bitch watching many elected officials trip over their own dicks to use this patently absurd cover up to justify selling SA weapons.
 
Now we’ve reached:

Khashoggi was murdered but it was a mistake. So it appears the Saudi’s story is trying to meet with Trump’s rogue agents comments so they’re on the same page.
 
The Saudis must have panicked to send out a guy with a full head of hair in Khashoggi's clothes. They are acting like it probably was an accidental murder/death.

Trump will soon say "it looks credible enough to me".

so...they take off his clothes and give them to the body double...then start chopping him up...but he starts screaming too much...so they inject him with something so they can continue their work in peace

we have to ask ourselves what was the purpose of this um operation...for one man's private pleasure or to send a message...if the latter who is the intended recipient of the message

I'm guessing his head was brought back to Saudi Arabia as a trophy or proof of performance of sorts...the rest of him is somewhere in Turkey

Erdogan Says a Saudi Team Planned Khashoggi’s Killing

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, having promised to reveal the “naked truth” of a Saudi plot to kill the journalist Jamal Khashoggi, said on Tuesday that a team including Saudi generals had flown in to carry out the mission.

Mr. Erdogan’s much-anticipated address came after more than two weeks of carefully orchestrated leaks to the media by Turkey that implicated the highest levels of the government of Saudi Arabia in the death of Mr. Khashoggi.

Saudi Arabia and Turkey are regional rivals, and the fact that Mr. Khashoggi was killed in a Saudi diplomatic building has added to the intrigue and complexity of the case, something Mr. Erdogan addressed early in his speech.
 


Taliban sending 5 former Guantanimo Prisoners to peaxe talks with US. I wonder if the great American media will report on this. Not gonna hold my breath.
 


Mexican MP breaks down in their Congress after receiving telephone call telling her that her 22 year old daughter was shot to death while at the gym because she looked like a gang members girlfriend. Hard for me to feel sympathy when predictably bad policies have predictably bad consequences. I dont know how so many people cant grasp the concept that fighting the free market is a turrible idea. Mexico has been repeatedly doubling down on their failed war on drugs that they ramped up in 2006 and are on pace for the deadliest year they have ever had this year. They are starting to come to their senses but after years of throwing gasoline on a fire it might be too late to save the house.
