US Diplomacy: Khashoggi's Ghost Pictured with MBS, Again
The mainstream narrative champions MBS's 'reset' with the US, conveniently glossing over the 2018 assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, a US resident and Washington Post columnist, which the CIA concluded was ordered by the Prince himself. This 'pariah-to-partner' glow-up coincides perfectly with Saudi oil interests and, crucially, massive US arms sales, like the $650 million deal pushed through in
2021 by the Biden administration, despite campaign promises of accountability. One might wonder if the 'terms' for resetting relations are truly MBS's, or simply the going rate—paid in petrodollars and military contracts—for the US to conveniently forget inconvenient truths. How many journalists must be dismembered before a price tag becomes too high for American 'values'?
