Defying pressure from US lawmakers to impose tougher sanctions on Saudi Arabia, Trump also said he would not cancel military contracts with the kingdom. Such a "foolish" move would only benefit Russia and China, said the U.S. president, whom critics accuse of exaggerating the importance of those weapons sales to the American economy. Trump said US intelligence agencies were still studying the evidence around Khashoggi's murder inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 and who planned it.

He was very involved with the Muslim Brotherhood and was not a good thing for the US. He was also not a good thing for Saudi Arabia. At least when the Saudi's declare someone an enemy of the state, they take the guy out in private by himself.... here in the US we fly a drone over and take him out with all his family and friends who might be with him. And sometimes it takes more than one try..... This is an internal Saudi problem and none of our business...… let it go and get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A problem with that.. (besides murder being a sin.. and the suffering that it causes to victims families and friends).. is that it might embolden the governments of other countries that they might get away with murdering civilans such as dissidents etc.. especially if they are considered a close ally of the USA.. or spend a lot of money to the USA .. Also.. the next time something like this happens in any country.. it might not necessarily be a journalist.. but it could even be say a Christian who is killed because he or she was accused of evangelism etc.. If that happens than the USA might no longer be able to speak out against it very much.. or especially act against that country .. because it might be considered as having lost the moral ground to do so.. And if the USA did try to speak out or especially act against such countries for such killing .. it might be viewed as simply hypocrisy or a double standard .. Sorry Other One.. just some general thoughts that's all. Truly no offence intended brother. Thank you.

So how did you feel about President Obama killing American citizens with drones and killing bystanders? At least they did it on their own soil (embassy's are considered land of their owners)..... it's none of our business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example in some countries asking for democracy might be considered as a threat to national security.. In some countries Christians sharing the gospel might be considered a national security threat.. etc.. If the Usa and other countries say that whatever a government might do to its own citizens on its own soil.. is none of their business.. then what about situations where Christians are imprisoned or killed? Please please understand that I am not trying to be rude. I am just looking at this issue from a different perspective I think. Thank you. ps. Whether the Usa or other countries want to intervene or not in this particular situation.. is up to them.. But if that is going to be a general principle that things in other countries are always none of the Usa etc business.. then perhaps such a principle might also be applied in future in situations where it is Christians who are being killed or imprisoned..? Or perhaps be viewed as a double standard if it is not similarly applied.. Again this is just some general thoughts from a different perspective. Truly not meant as any offence. Thank you again.
