What I want to know (and it should be a VERY easy answer) IF Trump's approach was wrong, then what was the correct one?
In answering you MUST factor in following:
At present two of the biggest players in the region Saudi Arabia and Iran are warring each other.
The House of Saudi has just gone through a coup and shake up
Trump has just arranged a huge in oil prices from $87US a barrel to $54US
Trump has arranged huge arms deals worth bazillion to the US.
The Prince is a young and new world leader. A spoiled and entitled prat and probably more than a little immoral. He could be asked to explain himself a billion times and will NEVER admit to being personally involved in the assassination. He did not even wish to have to concede there was an assassination. World pressure has tipped his hand.
Further destabilization or making enemies of the few allies makes no sense.
It is possible to appreciate the horror and gravity of the situation without calling the Prince a liar and rejecting their mutually beneficial alliance and calling him a liar, continually demanding he address what he has addressed, sanctioning, backing out of deals or withdrawing support will do EXACTLY that.
Furthermore, after sending crates of cash to Iran despite their actions against America, such efforts to poke the Prince in the eye will be seen as valuing Iran over Saudi Arabia.
You get to choose your poison but do not pretend none of these thing matter or that America's role is the morality police or the World police.
