What role does Khashoggi play in all of this? The reactions on an international base is way too off to be a mere coincidence. I am clueless, but I try my best to understand it.
Just right now, news hit in that Merkel suddenly wants to stop weapon exports to Saudi-Arabia, why NOW? Why not earlier? It's not the first time that Saudi-Arabia would have killed their critics or even people they didn't really like and trust at all. Just look at the mass executions 2016 in Saudi-Arabia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Saudi_Arabia_mass_execution).
None of them never gained any world-wide attention, and there are many more which are documented and also were reported on. Why is it that Merkel decides just now to stop weapon exports to Saudi-Arabia? German anons might remember that even our own Government criticized Saudi-Arabia many times and yet they never stopped the weapon export deals. But now some journalist 'dies' or is killed, probably for the same reason like many before him (critizing the saudi-arabian regime) and now suddenly Merkel wants to stop weapon exports.
It all feels like the game field suddenly changed, just because of one fucking journalist.
