Mohammad Bin Salman

Ok. That name said. Look him up. Draw your own conclusions. I'll preface this by saying I don't like Trump. That's out of the way.
Now back to Bin Salman. Saudis crown prince. A guy that rose to power with the help of Jared Kushner spilling state secrets.

This bullshit has now turned on us. Saudis have now made a threat to the greatest negotiator. You don't sanction us for the missing journalist. If you do oil goes to $200 a barrel and we make peace with Iran.
That's fucked up right? They threatened us with peace.

This link. Is John Oliver. He talks shit in this link about I believe the 7 presidents and Saudi Arabia. I know people around here don't like him but I promise you. He's didn't talk shit about Trump until the end and he lays out a shit load about Mohammad Bin Salman.

Tone down the TDS, and, maybe I'll look further into your post. Just being honest. Trump is in office and what happened in Las Vegas? Want to talk about Saudis? Look there, imo.
1 hurtsdonut_ 2018-10-15
There's no tds in this post. There only thing I said is I don't like Trump. I didn't ramble on negative Trump things. I said the last 7 presidents sucked them off as well. I did show how Kushner told him our top secret shit and then he purged his rivals.
I know you love cats and shit and that's great. I put in warnings when you'd hear negative things about Trump. You don't find it odd that you get upset about anything negative about Trump? TDS? Derangement seems to come mainly from his supporters to busy slobbering his knob than to see anything wrong with him.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2018-10-15
You have a history of TDS, and... no, I fuckin' hate cats. Putin loves them, though. So, I've been told.
1 hurtsdonut_ 2018-10-15
I have a history negative of Trump. Like his creditors. This post however is not negative Trump. In general. If you want me to go negative Trump I won't on this sub. I've been banned for it once.
Side note: I too am a dog person.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2018-10-15
You're the one who brought hatred of Trump up. Why do you need the preface? Seems completely unnecessary, yet, you did it...
1 hurtsdonut_ 2018-10-15
Probably because I have to preface that way on this sub. Feel free to argue what I laid down. Any of it. I don't make up things.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2018-10-15
Are you mistaking this sub for another one? I've been here for years, and never felt the need. Just strange, imo.
I've laid enough up. Twas' easy, you didn't lay much down...
What is truth? Do you believe there are only to genders? Male and female?
1 hurtsdonut_ 2018-10-15
Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission.
How did this happen? Who's to blame?
Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense.

Socialists ruined this country. Looking at you, Lincoln.
1 apropo 2018-10-15
How? When? By whom?
You state this accountability to which someone will be held with what seems to be conviction.... How can you do that?

His "rivals" might have tried to kill him on October 1st 2017. Which would entirely justify the "purge".

That family is like 1000+.
1 Xaviermgk 2018-10-15
So what happened in Las Vegas again?
1 troy_caster 2018-10-15
Supposedly the Las Vegas shooting was an assassination attempt on MBS who was spending time there. The theory is that Trump tipped him off at the last minute, thereby saving his life. A couple weeks later, he was named by his father as the future king, and then all of the princes were rounded up and held at the Ritz.
A few others died in helicopter crashes, presumably, trying to escape. Those who were released had to give up a large % of their holdings, and I'm sure had to re affirm their allegiance to the throne.
Shortly after, they started letting women drive, etc. Saudi Arabia has lots of $$$ and a lot of the evil money of the world flowed through there, but with this "coup", a lot of those rat lines have dried up, which has real world implications, for instance they were funneling a lot of money to their tech holdings such as Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, etc. Supposedly these strings being cut is what's causing a lot of today's headlines because the bad players are exposed and/or don't have the same resources.
I'm not 100% sure if that's what the guy was referring to, but I might be able to dig up more info somewhere if you're interested.

I know...I am sorry. He was just evading the question.

Funny how TDS is just Bush Derangement Syndrome, repackaged with the Trump brand. Has this jackass actually come up with any original ideas?
1 MohammadBinSalman 2018-10-15
MBS is a pussy, Saudi needs the US more. They will capitulate.
1 hurtsdonut_ 2018-10-15
Sounds like something MBS would say.
1 MohammadBinSalman 2018-10-15
Shit, please visit your nearest Saudi embassy for free gifts!
1 hurtsdonut_ 2018-10-15
I expect nothing less than dismemberment and a Tesla.
1 no1113 2018-10-15
It's fucked up in the sense that this is an indication of just how horribly war mongering the US is.
1 httr_barbarian 2018-10-15
The Saudis and the Persians making peace. The end days must really be ahead.

That won't happen lols...

First sign this article is bullshit and opinion:
Who is this person they are sourcing? This isn't exactly career ending, whistle blowing information here. Why not just tell us who it was?
2ndly, the "journalist" I'm sure wrote some articles and I'm sure he was a great guy. He was also family with some of the top power players in the KSA. A mere journalist, he is not. Whatever happened with him, was some real deep heavy shit that probably goes back years.
Trump doesn't care because he doesn't have to. The guy was a citizen of the KSA, and therefore, it's their prerogative how to deal with situations.
It's sad the guy died, but I can't presume to impose a call for justice on a guy who's neither a U.S. citizen, nor was killed on U.S. soil, on a sovereign nation, an individual whom obviously had very deep connections to the whole power structure in that country.
So we're supposed to go to war over this guy? I really don't think so. I could be wrong.
