‘After the CIA concluded that the powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the October 2018 slaying and dismembering of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi’
Calling Jamal Khashoggi a “Washington Post columnist” is a giant half truth amounting to a lie, and it is meant to add “western” stature, undeservedly, to Khashooggi.
Khashoggi was a “journalistic” stooge for the Muslim Brotherhood who happened to get his works printed in various western and MOSTLY non-western publications, and yes including the Washington Post. He was in exile from Saudi Arabia for a good reason. Saudi Arabia understood Khashoggi’s Muslim Brotherhood connections and Saudi Arabia’s rulers see the Muslim Brotherhood as an existential threat.
I say that not to approve Khashoggi’s murder, but to give notice that as a Muslim Brotherhood stooge he was working NOT in western interests, and to paint him as a friend of western societies is giant error.
“ Biden vowed during the 2020 election campaign to make the country an international “pariah.”
To be fair, Biden meant the United States would be a pariah.
