This is a curious story when one looks closely at the "cosy associations" that Saudi has with western countries who actually "should know better" but have such huge vested interest in Saudi's oil and other lucrative trade deals that any moral indignation that they could ever muster, re other autocratic countries/leaders who assassinate their peaceful opponents or critics, can be rightly binned in the name of hypocrisy!! The whole exposure and embarrassment re the sadistic, brutal murder of Kashoggi, a state killing in a foreign country without any doubt, has effectively been "swept under the carpet" and life can go on for the likes of the British govt and the USA in their cosy relationships that generate the much-needed revenue that they crave!! It is a sad indictment of the world that we live in and the people within western democracies who preach morality and utter all kindsa "do goody" comments to suit that kinda narrative but they are indeed nothing more than insincere hypocrites who practise on a set agenda that suits their own narrow political ideology - all very sad and unimpressive while the real victims/casualties are the family members of Kashoggi who must be watching this "cover up" in utter amazement and frustration!! NO JUSTICE IN THIS CASE AND THAT WON'T CHANGE ANY TIME SOON EITHER!! IMO the powers of an international court should've been activated with the possibility of bounty hunters being utilised to arrest and detain identified parties who were significant players in the assassination of Kashoggi - bring them to trial much like horrible war criminals who were offenders in mass killings and genocide but would not be allowed protection by their own brutal state/nation or by any western power either!!
