Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman bragged of receiving classified US intelligence from Jared Kushner and using it as part of a purge of 'corrupt' princes and businessmen, DailyMail.com can disclose.
The de facto ruler of the Middle East's largest economy is currently on a US tour which has seen him meet President Donald Trump in the White House, hold talks with a string of the country's richest and most influential people and book the entire Four Seasons in Beverly Hills for himself and his entourage.
Sources have told DailyMail.com that the prince – known by his initials MBS – has been boasting about his close relationship with the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, and the intelligence which he has told his circle Kushner passed to him.
Well mainly because their regional enemies have already cosied up to Russia, SA is dependent on the West and particularly the US for its regional power.Wut? Please justify why you think Saudi Arabia is so dependent upon the US? For anything we don't buy from Saudi's, someone else will buy it (oil). For everything Saudi's do buy they can buy it elsewhere.
Not to mention if we do attempt a conflict with them, you just risk more separation from the western world and they are more likely to be welcomed from the likes of Russia and China.
Meanwhile Jr. is promoting smear campaigns against the journalist.

Oh you mean like in Europe where Russia is killing people off?
Europe is making tons of harsh consequences to Russia.... like... building a dedicated gas pipeline. OH BURRRRN! Those Russians are gonna learn their fucking lesson amirite?
People love to say "We should do something" but when someone questions them with "Well, what do you expect for us to do?" the only reply ever is "I dunno lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
Ah, gotcha, so saw off our own foot in an effort to demand actions. Makes sense. I mean, even Trump's answer to your point is logical - you act as if they are going to go "OH WE SO SOWWY! We admit we made a mistake!" Keep dreaming guys, believe it or not, but we aren't the only ones that can manufacture arms. But... go ahead and support Russia more?
Remember when we thought this guy would modernize Saudi arabia?
Now there's the shitshow in Yemen, blockade of Qatar, temper tantrum against Canada and chopping up a journalist in another country. Well done mbs...

How tedious of you.Yes but women can now drive! He already won over every single SJW.
Kashoggi recorded his own murder using his Apple watch. He had it upload to his iphone, which was with his wife. Apple is such an amazing company! Solving international assassinations with technology!
One more reason why anybody who loves technology chooses Apple over the myriad of plebdroid options.

If the murder of 3000 Americans wasn't enough incentive for the US to break ties with the Sauds, this ain't going to do it either.The US has, in recent history, proactively voted for military interventions in countries based on half baked evidence and falsehoods that have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives.
No one, from any recent adminstration, would do much more than offer a strongly worded admonishment of the KSA over one dead journalist. Literally not a big enough deal to rock the boat with a geopolitical ally.
So who knows maybe DT will scuttle the petrodollar or something let's watch...
I really think that until the western world can put their big boy pants on and band together, shit like this is guaranteed to continue.
IF we put our big boy pants on and banded together with the western world (and other NATO allies), China, Russia, AND SA would all be shitting their fucking pants with the monetary losses and sanctions. But instead, Europe just says "Eh, not our problem." when Russia tries to assassinate in England. Similarly here, most countries will react the same way here.
Hell, the only people that have yet to put their big boy pants on was CEO of JPMorgan Chase that pulled out of a meeting with Saudi Arabia. What the fuck does that tell you?
And I can sit here and admit, maybe part of the problem is Trump with his asinine self-centered self... But that shouldn't prevent Europe from banding together. Instead they are just as big of shitheads as any other country - they act in their own self-interest instead of worrying about the world altogether. Go fucking figure. They love to talk but when it comes to walking the talk they are just as fucking shitacular as Trump.
Dunno why you're putting China in there. While I don't condone some of their domestic actions, they're not killing people in other countries. That's a whole different level.

Yeah, no, just people in their own country mysteriously disappearing. That's totally acceptable though....
They only jump off buildings... have their internet access drastically suppressed... But it's all good, they have their rice and noodles to eat.
I mention China mostly though - because they are hands down the closest ally to Russia. They just did military drills with eachother as Putin and Xi both had hard-ons for eachother.
Don't forget Richard Branson - he is turning down a $1 Billion investment from the Saudi's now: https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/13...-richard-branson-saudi-arabia-jamal-khashoggi
Well, if Putin can whack people with relative impunity, why not MBS? He's a big boy, too...

Donnie must be so jealous...
Of course. If we didn't cut off the last arms deal while the Saudis were killing civilians with our weapons in Yemen. No way would we stop 100 billion in arms over one journalist. Remember this when we preach our moral superiority to the world.Well fat fuck is again defending the Saudis wi the usual he denied it but he really really meant it. Now it’s “these could be rogue killers”.
