I’m tired of gestures. They murdered a man, we rename a street and continue to sell them weapons. Nothing will stop diplomats from “conveniently forgetting” something they don’t want to deal with.
Not really “ha ha” funny, more like “better than crying” funny. I absolutely agree that we should honor people like Khashoggi and King, but the idea that this will make an substantive difference in our relations with Saudi Arabia is laughable. Maybe I’m a jaded cynic at this point (who am I kidding with that “maybe”), but I’ve given up thinking that anything besides money talks in DC.
