Trump Praises MBS, Forgets Bone Saw Was Inconvenient
Apparently, the 'massive investments' are enough to make a President forget things like, say, the dismemberment of a journalist. Public record confirms MBS’s alleged direct involvement in Jamal Khashoggi's murder, a detail predictably glossed over in the pageantry of 'deepening ties.' Funny how principles vanish when petrodollars appear, isn't it? This isn't a 'new era' of geopolitical strategy;
it's the same old 'oil for arms' playbook. American presidents, for decades, have embraced despots when convenient, then acted shocked when said despots continue despoting. This latest embrace just proves some inconvenient truths expire faster than a gallon of milk when there's a good weapons deal on the table.
