Anyone going to talk about the Turkish dynamic behind this? The only party involved that can pull off a geopolitical "win" from this

I’m woefully ignorant when it comes to foreign policy intrigue, but it seems the question would be “Cui Bono?” And I’d like to know more about Iran’s relationship to Turkey, given their circumstances.

I think Iran-Turky relations might not be as important. Turkey has some sort of imperial aspirations, this makes them able to have a grievance against Saudis, cozy up to the Western Allies, and weaken the Saudi funded orgs in Syria. All without having to do much

Thank you!

@nntaleb did he get the “Saudi Barbaria” from you? In any case glad it’s spreading:#saudibarbariadelendaest -
I believe Nassim coined the term Saudi Barbaria.

We don’t need their oil or ideology. So why are they our allies again?

I welcome this. Saudi Arabia attacked our nation on 9/11 and helped Obama create ISIS. Saudi Arabia is our enemy you can see it in MBS’s face when he meets with trump. He is young and isn’t as good at hiding his country’s loathing of us.

Cerno Saudi purged a whole branch of its Royal Family responsible for funding Hillary, Terrorism, Obama... Salman and MBS are serious US allies against serious enemies foreign and domestic. Including the propagandists behind this latest Dem / MSM fiasco.https://youtu.be/nbGOS-ncx_s

If only the world had any understanding of just how much the true hegemonic power in this world (house of Windsor) controlled ALL of its opposition, barring one, the Catholic Church.

Saudi Arabia is a red herring and you know it. They’re a British plant, read TE Lawerence’s 7 pillars. They’re there to make Islam look barbaric for the protection of the queen’s vassal state in the holy land, aka Israel.

If U.S. doesn't sell the arms to Saudis they'll buy from Russia enriching Putin. Wake up people. Canceling arms deal only hurts USA.

This whole Khashoggi affair seems like an intra- House of Saud Game of Thrones. Khashoggi was an intel asset all day & nephew of one of the most notorious arms dealers of all time. Anti- MSB Saud factions want MSB out. Lots of Saudi money driving anti-MSB coverage.

Iran and Turkey are concocting this wild story. Saudis are working to run the mullahs out of Iran. Bring order to the region. This is not the same Saudi gov. Just like we’re not the same Obama gov anymore. Turkey is an Iran puppet.

We need to separate US foreign policy in all its sordid forms from internal political matters. In the case of Trump I sympathize with his problems at home but absolutely abhor his foreign policy. The USA cannot be trusted on the international stage either by its words or actions.

Plenty of people criticized this. The GOP has no spine when it comes to Trump favoring his personal donors.

Oh please, 99.9% of trump supporters give zero f kcs. I like you, but you’re completely tainted wrt this issue, on account of your Iranian wife. The modal trump supporter wants to sell arms to both Iran and SA and let them blow each other up.

Russian regime can easily survive on higher oil prices. Can Saudi deliver that?
