I've never seen anything like this situation.
It's not "just what the Saudis do", or "nothing to see here", or "libs overreacting" or any such shit.
Saudi Arabia, a long-standing U.S. ally, sometimes jails journalists. But, they don't kill them, unlike some other Arab countries.
One journalist has been murdered in Saudia Arabia since 1992. He was Irish and was killed by al Qaeda. https://cpj.org/data/killed/?status=Kill...up_by=year
So, the question, to me is........ why would the new young leader of Saudi Arabia, who claims to have facilitated a power coup in order to make Saudi Arabia more progressive, feel so emboldened as to have a U.S.-based Washington Post journalist brutally killed in a government building in Turkey?
