What's behind the latest "hiker"?
I don't understand why we've suddenly turned against Saudi.
In 2001 Saudi bombed NYC and killed 3000 people. We didn't respond to this OBVIOUS act of war. Instead we just continued selling them more weapons and welcoming their MEDDLING in our academic and political process. Saudi has been Our Most Valued Ally.
Recently Saudi has been running a hugely destructive war in Yemen, with our active military assistance.
Now Saudi kills one of their own citizens who was a part-time writer for Bezos. We consider this an act of war and start cutting all connections and imposing sanctions.
Everyone is focusing on this one "journalist" as the FIRST CAUSE of the switch, the UNPRECEDENTED SHOCKING SURPRISE that SUDDENLY CHANGES EVERYTHING.
Pearl Harbor? No problemo. Mess with Bezos? El Grande Problemo!
= = = = =
I don't really think Bezos is the important variable.
Better guess: This looks a lot like the way FBI handles its cultivated "terrorists" and "criminals". As long as the cultivar follows the orders of his handler, he gets plenty of money and logistical support, and is encouraged to kill and plunder and bomb without punishment. But when he disobeys the handler or starts snitching on the wrong people, he's instantly fed into the meat grinder.
9/11 was obviously a cultivated action. Every Saudi action since then was obedient UNTIL the new prince MBS took over. Now Saudi is moving away from obedience, doing more business with Russia, buying nuclear reactors and weapons.
This "columnist" is obviously CIA, but he's not the real cause of the change. He's just the usual CIA "hiker" or "tourist" or "pastor" who becomes "news" in order to give us a "reason" for bombing a country.
