Regardless of what Trump investments are doing, that journalist isn't worth putting a sing US soldier at risk. Let his own country do something about it.
That's the second time you said this. So I'll ask you my question a second time: how about the U.S. canceling all arms sales to Saudi Arabia?

Trump himself said he makes money from the Sauds - a LOT of money ($40-$50 million according to Trump).

Shrug, I dont give 2 sheets. I care about the USA once again playing world cop. It isn't our job and guess what, most of the world is sick of us doing it.

How about if you let Trump tell you? Listen to Trump speak ~ 1:15 on video.

I am all for canceling arms deals to the saudis, and the Israelis, and the Egyptians and a few others. Not sure what that has to do with us playing world cop or the Journalist getting killed but ok.

How'd that work out in the days leading up to WWII?

You can bury your head in the sand (or someplace a lot more pungent) but what happens in other countries affects you whether you like it or not. Just ask the families of folks who died on Sept 11th 2001.

This sounds like a scene from the Blacklist. The journalist is murdered in the consulate by a team of 15 Turks & Saudis, chopped up and put in suitcases, blood spatter on the walls so a clean-up crew comes in cleans, and paints the walls before forensics arrives. I don't know all the details of what Kashoggi did. Some reports say it was defamation of the Saudi's King or Prince's character. I understand those cultures don't accept that type of opposition so respect or silence is best method especially if you will step foot into their country.

As I said about 10 times now, I dont care.
I care about using our troops for world cops. I care about getting us involved in something that isn't our business.
Your hatred for Trump blinds you to the fact he won't be the one paying the price. We the people will. Our troops potentially will and for what? A journalist that isn't even one of our citizens.

Im sorry was there a UN back then? Was the UN not specifically designed to address such issues?
I must of have missed the part where WWII was started when a journalist was killed.
Im all for going after someone who attacks us. I am not for this world cop crap that costs us a mint while the world condemns us for it. No one elected us world cop.

911 was caused by a journalist getting killed?
