Washington post is a US paper.

Maybe trump isn't doing anything because he hates wapo and Jeff bezos so much.

Pretty disgusting if that is the case

It is odd how there will be a major outrage in this country if a child killer is caught and given the death penalty, and rightly so, and then turn a blind eye when the state does it. Ours or anyone else.

I wonder if the same people wishing to turn a blind eye to this violation, would also turn a blind eye to the child killers if there was a monetary benefit to it for them?

That is all I hear about this, what about the MONEY!!!

All this because 1 person gets killed in that region? that is NOT our problem.
Nah, the Saudi's Bomb women and children in Yemen and we turn a blind eye.
A child killer in the US mails you a 2 million dollar check and you will turn a blind eye?

That is exactly what happened when we gave billions in arms to the Saudis so people here could make bank and the Saudis in turn killed a bunch of women and children
in Yemen.

why should any American care what happens in the Muslim world though? Who cares about their journos?

Just sell us oil and be done with it - that's the entire transaction that the normal American needs to be concerned with - is there gas for the car?

But if you do not even criticize a government murdering its journalist in a cruel way (it's said he was chopped in pieces alive), you have no position to say anything about the human rights of Russia, China, North Korea....

They simply did what they were told to do. Like they always do for a president who commands it.
These aren't moral upstanding guys and gals. With this president, they are inches away from SS.
" just doing my job".
