A must read story from the legendary war correspondent and Middle East expert Dexter Filkins about the murderous thug, MBS, and his despicable regime. The war crimes being committed in Yemen with American weapons are another underreported aspect of this story. https://t.co/0PL8yPlJVS

Frum:

I’ve often described the Trump years as a time of “many secrets, but no mysteries.” Applies again to the Khashoggi killing. So much uncertain. But plain: the Saudi state executed a murder; the US government is helping the cover up

I saw only because Francis Fukuyama retweeted; McFaul, now a prof @ Stanford, is former ambassador to the Russian Federation 2012-2014:

All 3 of Trump's autocratic friends in Russia, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia have ordered assassinations beyond their borders on Trump's watch. And yet Trump continues embrace all three . Think about that.

What forced the Saudis to admit they killed Khashoggi? A possible explanation: their attempt at creating a body double failed bc their doppelgänger didn’t put on Khashoggi’s shoes & it was caught on camera. Otherwise, they could’ve kept claiming he’s alive https://t.co/sbQdnNSJyY
