    Apparently Trump supporters think we live in a little microcosm and that we're an isolationist country, and that's not true. The world is globalized, we don't live inside of a bubble protected from the rest of the world. Our economics are integrated one with the other. We can't simply brush international news aside as if it doesn't affect us, because it certainly does.

    That ain't no hypo dude. That's assumption based on speculation circulating the mainstream media lately. Extreme hypos are there stated. Let's dig in shall we? We may come up some very interesting stuff...

    Translation: Leftists want a war for some reason. Sweet! Sign up, don a uniform, train, and learn to shoot straight; and . . . enjoy.

    Do you have any critical thinking skills at all? Why do all Trumpers need the news given to them in shortcuts and bullet points? If you want to grasp the meaning of a situation such as this, you have to think about it, read it, understand what it all means not only to Saudi Arabia but what it means to the U.S., and to democracies and emerging countries around the world.

    We should dig in and find out what's really going on between Kushner who is Jewish and hates Muslims and a Muslim Prince that hates Jews.

    Are you seriously calling the United Nations and every member of the G7 'leftists' ?

    Take it up with the UN human rights council, I'm sure SA being a member will get to bottom of this. :roll:

    Translation: Leftists prefer if OTHER PEOPLE wear the uniform and fight their chosen wars for them. That may be anti-ethical but one has to admit that it is smart.

    Of course, it is. We should stand against this outrage and punish the Saudis.

    The Saudi's don't need J.K. to do their homework for them.

    Fallacy.

    It is the U.S.A.'s business because the victim was a U.S. resident.

    Acid will do it.

    Phosphoric is easy to get in gallon jugs.

    It is used as a paint stripper.

    A boycott against Saudi Arabia including all oil is the most appropriate response.

    Just selective outrage. Just one more stretch in trying to create some new outrage to blame Trump on since all the other outrages have not had their intended affect and the elections aren't looking so good for the Dems. Did you have this much concern over a US citizen Obama blew up?

    Well no they didn't; but in all honesty you could not possibly expect them to have criticized their holy Anointed One for something considered so very minor to the Left. It must have been very minor since they utterly ignored it.

    He was not a US resident when he was in turkey

    If the Saudis killed him on US soil it would be different

    But he was t

    Condemn the sonsabreeches all you want. But to communicate with them you got to lay down force on them and shed their blood, lots of their blood.

    Have the MSM go on another spree condemning Asaad if you want, for all that good that will do in changing his actions.

    Though we agree, I believe this incident is not the reason to punish them. I believe we should have cut all ties with them after their involvement in 9/11.

    This incident is faux outrage.

    If it takes THIS to get the left wing all hyped up to put pressure on KSA...where were they in 2016 when the report about the KSA government and 9/11 came out?

    This guy was a Saudi killed by Saudis, in Turkey...

    9/11 was a devastating attack on US soil.

    He had a job here, yes. He's not a US citizen or US national. He has no government affiliations. He's a SAUDI citizen killed by SAUDI's. This also happened in Turkey (which by looking at a map, one can see that Turkey is not a part of the United States).

    If you're outraged about this and wanting to punish the Saudi's, why didn't we just cut ties with them after we concluded their government was involved in 9/11?

    Faux outrage.

    We should have cut ties with them years ago. But it takes this incident...a reporter....to spark outrage? Not 9/11?

    I don't buy your outrage
