The Skripals VS Khashoggi

Post by Grudge »

The situation is so hypocritical.

The US-UK really made it look like the Russian government tried to poison Yulia Skripal and her father, but when it comes to allied countries like Saudi Arabia (which is a real dictatorship unlike Russia) being accused of killing Khashoggi, the first response is denial, that this was committed by "rogue killers".

I can't think of one day that has gone by without my hypocrisy trigger not going off when reading the news.

the denials from SA seem laughably dumb and i think they've already managed to contradict themselves in changing the story. at any rate, the only reason this even registers is because MBS went after one of the media's own, if khashoggi hadn't been a post contributor they'd all be happy to keep cheering on MBS' Bold New Reforms™ and the joint US-saudi venture in yemeni genocide
