The Saudis appear to have murdered a US resident (& a @washingtonpost contributor). The Chinese have arrested the head of INTERPOL. The Russians have used chem weapons on UK soil, etc.

If Saudis were involved in Jamal’s death or disappearance,that’s obviously on them. But in failing to call MBS out on just about anything, particularly repression at home, Trump Administration has emboldened him and given him sense he can do anything.
