Gotta raise the BS flag on this starting WW3.
The incident is showing the World how twisted Trump is in turning a blind eye to it and supporting the Saudi's. If it were Russia there would be instant sanctions, this incident is more the Straw that Breaks the Camels back ( parden the pun ) and will expose King Salman to the world as a despotic leader of the Oil Leading Country. This will play out for a few months into 2019 and then she's on baby!
So everything you said is new and hadn't been happening for decades?
Don't you think it's just as dangerous to put all the blame on Trump, cleansing prior administrations for wrongdoing?
People act like if we rid Trump we fix these problems.
We could have gone in a different direction, but we didn't. We succumbed to greed, fear and argle bargle.
So Clinton wouldn't have caved to Saudi Arabia?

How much benefit of the doubt do you think Saudi Arabia deserves?

Maybe they did torture him but I doubt if Turkey's story is even close to correct.

So you don't think Turkey are underhanded enough to bug foreign embassies and have actual recorded proof? I wouldn't put it past them. In fact that's the only reason I believe the report that he was tortured...

How would SA killing one of its own people trigger a war?
Besides WW4 has been well underway for nearly 20 years.
Yes, if it were Russia, there would very likely be sanctions. But, you don't immediately sanction allies. It could very well be that there are consequences for SA that just haven't happened yet.
Are you somehow hoping this all leads to war?

She wouldn't have caved to Putin. She would have upheld the social contract with the USA and with Europe. The USA is going in a different direction.
