Get back to studying that owning Trudeau threw on the Trump Administration.

Sure I can see problems occurring, there already are problems. What will Congress act on. I mean with no real crime and no body.

Guilty til proven innocent, like the K spectacle?
Like President Trump says "Well see what happens."

You always jump the starting gun.

Travel internationally enough, eventually you end up needing to visit Embassies and Consulates for different reasons. Usually documents. Last December I was in a foreign county, and yes, they are US Govt employee's but they were all natives. The whole thing gave me the creeps. I had some fleeting thoughts that it was not going to go well, and I'd be jammed up if it didn't.

Three days later, Christmas day, my hotel phone rang and it was Customs & Border just verifying I was in the hotel that I said I was staying in.

Allow me to take a contrarian view.
The world was thrust into World War I with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on 28th June 1914.
The death of that man set off a series of events that caused 37 million casualties.
They say "History Repeats Itself."
If the Main Stream Media had its way, history would repeat itself with the death of this journalist.
Hundreds of people around the world "disappear" every day due to clandestine activities of various Governments!
But they are not journalists.
The MSM would not mention this disappearance except it's about a journalist. Would their noses be out of joint if it were about a baker or shoemaker?
The MSM is whipping up public sentiment paying no heed to the fact that a war could be triggered. Never forget WW I.
Trump and America shouldn't be sticking their nose in this affair.
It should not have an impact on American politics.

For the life of me I can't figure out what you're trying to say except this last part which is full-on isolationist America...

A "key" ally, using that term extremely loosely, who owes its very existence to the United States is free to carry out political assassination with impunity? Even if it damages our position both at home and abroad?

I don't understand how the fact in ran in some pretty high circles makes this less of a story... opposite in fact.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say there isn't going to be a body...

The man walked into the Saudi Embassy and then either;

1) Went all Man in the High Castle and I Ching'd to another timeline/dimension.

Or...

2) Was murdered, hacked into tiny bits, and had his body dumped somewhere.

FanDan says he walked out and has the video to prove it.
Are you saying FanDan is wrong?

I agree with Greyfox - not our problem to take care of.
What we should do is start treating Sorry Arabs for the scumbag-terrorist-murdering-slave traders they are. Travel ban - no US citizen allowed to go there, none for them allowed to come here.
And worse.........

I say we start hanging them out to dry and let them and Iran sort out their shit... as Kissinger said regarding the Iraq/Iran war:

"Its a shame they both can't lose..."
