Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen for years. It was MBS who started the war. Yemen is now, like Syria, a pile of rubble but with 13 million men, women and children in a Saudi-created humanitarian catastrophe. The media barely covers this, which is why there was so much shock at the report on Yemen by the BBC a few days ago.
But a journalist disappears in a Saudi consulate with rumours of tapes of him being sawn alive and it is headline news for days.
Why?
Could it be because Russia is about to sell Saudi Arabia the S400?
Did a U S-controlled cell inside Saudi intelligence murder Kashoggi to embarrass MBS so:
1. Russia wouldn't sell the S400 to the Saudis;
2. 'persuade' the Saudis to buy an American air defence system instead?
Why would MBS order the murder of Kashoggi just before a trade fair in Saudi Arabia where the Saudis could flog their products and services, when news of the disappearance of Kashoggi forced many corporations to back out of that trade fair?
It's just like comedy. It's all about the timing.
