1-back in the 60s and 70s ya you would get dissidents killed overseas but it's 2018 and the climate (media, domestic access to information, geopolitical considerations) is much different

2-dude was not a political opponent but rather a journalist

3-dude was a renowned journalist, with deep ties

4-dude wasn't even a dissident in a traditional sense, he just expressed some common sense criticism that would've been much more tolerated just a couple years ago, even in Saudi Arabia

5-dude got killed in a consulate

6-dude got killed in turkey

7-this is just the latest in a series of stupid decisions by Mbs
Good looking out Breh.:salute:

Can someone explain why this is such a big deal. Aren't these people always like this?
