US Welcomes Saudi Prince, Forgetting Journalists' Limbs
The Hill reports President Trump gave Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman an "opulent White House welcome," glossing over the Crown Prince's alleged role in the brutal 2018 assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi (as detailed by the CIA and UN report). This isn't just about lavish receptions; it's about a consistent US foreign policy that prioritizes oil and weapons deals over human rights.
Remember when the US sanctioned Iranian officials for far less? The media frames these meetings as standard diplomatic engagements, never mentioning that MBS's regime has executed hundreds, bombed Yemen into a humanitarian catastrophe, and stifled dissent. Apparently, the 'free world' has a flexible definition of freedom when it comes to lucrative arms sales. One might wonder if the decor included
a very large shredder for inconvenient moral considerations.
