MBS fucking up a free run to do literally whatever he wants by offing a journalist no-one had ever heard of is hilarious.
Also funny that you can commit a genocide in Yemen, kidnap dissidents from foreign countries, arrest anyone that says you smell funny and that's okay but kill one journalist and the media suddenly discovers a backbone. Weird that.
The Saudi Intelligence Services are famous for doing things without the crowns permission.
Is it symptomatic of the disregard they have for the consequences that these tinpot security agencies are so spectacularly useless at these operations these days? Or is it just impossible to be fully dark in the modern age unless you're a proper ninja? At least these idiots got the killing part of the plan right, even if they managed to broadcast it onto the internet.
1 of the 15 Saudi security forces that turned up at the consulate died in a traffic accident today. Specifically the one that can be heard on the audio tape the Turks leaked. What a crazy coincidence. Nothing to see here.
What leaked audio?
The stuff leaked to the Post. Where the ‘I reccomend listening to music’ quote while he saws the guy, still alive, into pieces comes from.
It wasn't leaked to the Post. The Post are reporting it from some Turkish paper. I thought you meant that the actual audio had leaked. Where is Magic and his Liveleak connections....
It does sound absolutely savage, perhaps unsurprising for a country that routinely amputates limbs (and heads), blinds, stones and apparently crucifies people.
With so many links back to the top it'll be interesting to see how they weasel their way out of this. They really need to be erased. [/tolerance]
They still crucify people? Fucking hell.
I know they sort of had to do it, but surely coming out and saying "err, yeah, he died in a fight" is only going to lead the Saudis further down the rabbit hole?
In that version of events, presumably his body is easily accessible and (reasonably) intact . . .
A swift cremation was respectfully provided.
It happens though. You get into an argument and all of a sudden 18 of you are sawing him into bits and dropping him in the back of a van.
So they do?
Fucked up. Fixed it now.
Unless it's white kids lol.
This'll end well I'm sure.
Anyone else slightly worried we’re about to do Iraq again except this lot aren’t competent enough to do it with a straight face?
Hang on...
Big up the blue checkmarks suddenly discovering that 'Turkish-backed militias' are a bunch of Islamist maniacs as well. Who knew?
"These will be truly wonderful sanctions, some of the most beautiful sanctions we've imposed."
The blue checkmarks are all the journalists and think tank wankers who are always wrong about everything.
That's not Donald Trump. That's what I'm saying.
lol at me.
Oh shit, Lewis donned by Bruh. That's it, close the website down, we're done lads.
Not before we crown Bruh 'winner of the new board'.
End of an era.
I donned myself.
Slight name change because I can't think of a thread that it would fit.
I just remembered Kashmir is still under an information/communications blackout. It's been 8 months. One of the most famously controversial border states that has had people worried about potential nuclear war, and it never comes up?
