Pretty absurd. That said, the Saudi government just straight up murdered a journalist in one of their embassies, the whole world knows it and politically it appears things are still business as usual...

Attacking someone in your own embassy is crossing a line. Attacking someone else's embassy is crossing several more lines.

How is that comparable at all? And no, things aren't business as usual, there have been lots of developments on that story.

Lots of hand wringing to be sure but I don’t see any real deterrents to doing it again.

The house of Saud just crafted their latest excuse about the hit squad being "rogue agents" and they're going to execute some faithful servants to prove their point. That is plenty good enough for Trump to dismiss the issue. American's don't care about mass Iraqi civilian deaths. Journalists are the enemy. A single "fake news" writer won't matter.

But that's not the United States. They're a straight monarchy...
