The governments of the United Kingdom, France and Germany on Sunday released a joint statement demanding more information regarding the death of Jamal Khashoggi. Read the statement, as quoted by several news outlets, below:
There remains an urgent need for clarification of exactly what happened on October 2nd – beyond the hypotheses that have been raised so far in the Saudi investigation, which need to be backed by facts to be considered credible.
We thus stress that more efforts are needed and expected towards establishing the truth in a comprehensive, transparent and credible manner.
We will ultimately make our judgement based on the credibility of the further explanation we receive about what happened and our confidence that such a shameful event cannot and will not ever be repeated.
Here, I’ll tell them for free: MBS ordered the torture and murder of Khashoggi, and Trump green-lighted it.
Done and done. Je vous en prie. Bitte schön. You’re welcome.
Though this will make Freeland, a very happy camper, MBS can’t guarantee that this event won’t happen again.
When you can get France, Germany and England to agree to agree on anything, you know they’re on to something…
Us, we’re just the clueless rock over the pond…
Germany susended their arms deal with the Saw’dis. Will Britain do the same?
Three of these things belong together
Three of these things are kind of the same
But one of these things is not like the other
Americans hang their heads in shame
