Like aren't these guys who are chest thumpers constantly looking for the US to be respected? Didn't you completely defund Palestine because you are under the impression that their people don't like America enough?
There is a procedure among nations that are friendly and respect each other to handle these things. When a problematic person is resident in and under the implicit protection of one nation, and another nation dislikes that. Saudi Arabia would charge him with a crime, and demand the US stop shielding him and return him to Saudi Arabia. Or otherwise, present the US with his list of crimes, the evidence, and ask the US to prosecute it themselves.
So, again, this guy is a legal resident of the US, and a journalist at one of our newspapers, and so is under the implicit protection of the US. Saudi could have handled it as above, if they respected us. Instead they... sent a hit squad to dismember him alive in some Turkish consulate. That is not an action that a nation that respects another one takes. A nation that does that respects the other nation about as much as their dog, and clearly does not fear them at all.
I'm sad to say, but it appears that the lack of regard that Saudi Arabia seems to be showing the US here looks like the rational level. They do not have to respect or fear the US, clearly they've bought off enough people in the administration by now that we're their bitches. And I imagine they know that.
