Question is what other countries does this give the green light too?I can see it already.... much like the pictures of Rumsfeld joyfully with Saddam resurfacing as president Bush tried to explain why we chose to go to war with Iraq/Saddam, only today.. with the video of the joyous interactions of Pompeo with the savage Prince right after he had Khasoggi brutally chopped in to pieces, resurfacing when America... out of the blue decides the Saudi prince and Saudi's are brutal and we go and invade them and start a war with them, when we no longer need them.... much like with the brutal Hussein...
who are we as Americans? Are we really scum and don't believe in Human rights....? Not even enough to at least try to fake it?
Every future journalist killed by other foreign dictators, is now on OUR SHOULDERS as giving the A-OK for these dictators to do it by this President.... giving alibis for the Murderer from the beginning imo.
What kind of justice you want to IMPOSE on this sovereign foreign government? YOUR sense of justice?
Journalists are people. Murder is universally accepted as wrong. There's gonna be no genocidal wave against journalists. Priorities on murdering people in foreign countries should be:
1) Any American Leader or high ranking official.
2) Any other American..
3) any member of a persecuted minority big enough to fill a stadium.
And that's it. Journalists have about the same part of my compassion as the Christian woman in Pakistan who was facing execution for blasphemy and was saved by international pressure. But NOW the government can't protect her from retribution by MILLIONS of Islamic Pakis that want her dead.
ALL THAT WORK - to keep the Pakis from being brutal.. It reminds me of that injured seal release that the wildlife rescuers filmed LIVE on TV getting eaten by a shark within minutes of the glorious moment.
Why those priorities?
Journalists do a job. They report on things authoritarians would rather keep hidden.
Ignoring the targeting and murder of journalists is dangerous. And by publically doing so, we are sending a message.
Herr
Targeting who ELSE is not "dangerous"?? Murder is dangerous. Imprisoning ALL of the opposition media in Turkey is "dangerous". That woman being hunted down in Pakistan is "dangerous".. Why aren't leftists calling for her release and amnesty in the US. THAT'S an Amnesty case if I ever heard of one. NOT 2000 people from Cent. Amer a day that live in a country with no economy and no law enforcement.
Tell me -- and please answer -- what's your solution?
Do you have the kitchen sink to throw in here too?
Amnesty is a whole different issue.
Turkey’s treatment of journalists, dissidents, and educators is horrific. I have posted on it before, back when Erdegon was beginning his purge...didn’t seem to be much outcry then.
Does that mean we should ignore what the Saudi’s did? Give them a green light? When does matter?
Herr Hitler;
How did YOUR PRESIDENT give the "green light?"
Do you have anything other than your festering hatred to base your demagoguery on?
