Trump Hosts MBS: 'Strategic Dialogue' or Golf Course Arms Deal?
The mainstream media breathlessly covers former President Trump's hospitality towards Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, focusing on the optics of a future administration. Yet, they conveniently forget to mention MBS's alleged role in the 2018 assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S.-based journalist—a fact widely acknowledged by U.S. intelligence. This 'diplomacy' consistently overlooks
state-sponsored violence and regional destabilization, particularly Saudi Arabia's devastating war in Yemen, which has fueled one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. One might wonder if the conversation drifted from geopolitical strategy to new arms contracts, paid for with Saudi oil wealth and sanctioned by America. This is the transactional 'friendship' that fuels endless wars while
maintaining an illusion of stability. How many inconvenient truths must be buried under the weight of 'strategic alliances' before we question the moral bankruptcy of such partnerships?
