'The American president sounded almost bored with the entire affair and was utterly unmoved by not only the UN’s report but also by his intelligence community.' Opinion | TalAbdulrazaq
President Donald Trump has finally laid the issue of whether or not the United States will investigate the savage murder of Jamal Khashoggi to rest, even as the ghost of the unfortunate journalist continues to haunt Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, better known as MBS.
The UN report criticises these trials and has called for an independent judicial authority to investigate and adjudicate to ensure no stone is left unturned in bringing all those involved to justice.Speaking to the American media yesterday, though, Trump said the US would not investigate the question of whether or not MBS was directly involved in the murder of Khashoggi who was killed and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last year.
In other words, Trump could not care less about who was responsible for the ghoulish and grisly slaying of Khashoggi. As far as he was concerned, it had already been “heavily investigated” and he had read “so many different reports” on the matter. One can only imagine what he might have said had he perceived Riyadh to be a hostile entity with no money to give him the blood bribes he so desperately wants to feed the American economy. Somehow, I doubt he would be so flippant with the issue of getting justice for the slain journalist if Saudi was unwilling to play ball and help to buoy the US economy, but just so happened to be sat on a veritable treasure trove of natural resources, which it does.
The Obama administration resolutely refused to do so, because calling a coup a coup would mean that they would have had to, by law, cease providing arms and other military support to the Egyptian military that had just riddled democracy with bullets and ensconced itself once more in the presidential palace.
Obviously, any country in the Middle East – which Trump described pejoratively as a “vicious, hostile place” – wanting to exercise self-determination and possessing strategic value will find itself plotted against by not only the US but also Russia and other powers with interest in the region.
