they were paid for that 50 years ago, now its just there
PokoOnoandtheJamJams
Funny how our blinding obsession with oil had the ramification of creating all the demons we now are constantly fighting
Secular
It's amazing that people seem to either ignore or don't know the US is currently helping the Saudis starve 13 million people in Yemen.

What is next? will the CIA conclude that the earth orbits the sun?
deek2288
In other news. We have been facilitating genocide and brutal siege warfare in Yemen for the KSA. But THIS is what grabs headlines, smh.
ConfuMeister
"God bless USA" - a lot of mericans. I don't think any sane God would bless US ... of all the countries on this fucking planet. Maybe NK ?
TheTruthHurts51
And Trump says "He denies it very strongly."
breguet
That man is a murderer, but who gives a shit? or who can do anything..
OrangeFlavours
This post is... really fucking dumb. There's a difference been y'all fucks on the internet deciding something is obvious, and a 1/2
Wallace0
yeah I'm baffled that shit like this has 1000 upvotes.
dumbinsults
You know what website we're on, right? Look around.
OrangeFlavours
2/2 government fucking investigation to conclusively say by one government that somebody important is guilty.
Zerogates
But you can't post your opinion on the internet if you are out trying to understand things or making a difference...
HellWestAndCrooked
Yeah, the CIA should have just fired off an angry Tweet without getting any proof first.
Ardo222
Would you like them not to investigate and come to a conclusion based on evidence rather than suspicions? I don't understand your complaint.
Ornado
Is it obvious? Yes, but you need PROOF that says this shit and it's THEIR job to find that proof. No proof, no problems.
ProfessorDumbass
Like he is the only megalomaniac world leader that would kill nosey reporters if he could get away with it. (This time he got caught)
newsguycraigevans
"nosey reporter". Blaming the victim is never cool. You sound like you would vote for Trump.
ProfessorDumbass
You sound like someone who believes Trump voters call him a megalomaniac
pfsar
Remember, Trump called the Saudi lie that he died in a fight “credible”. 1/

TheClockWatcher
Trump will be happy with the CIA. He can say a rogue organisation released the info keeping international relations intact.
immortalbucket
Trump is so jealous he couldn’t do that to Acosta.
rockstedi
yeah but the money, remember? #aintgonnadoshit
GnomeDeGuerre
Shit needs to be confirmed.
OlderWiser
OMG. When will we start letting the internet decide what should be done? Everything could be solved so easily.
SirSmurfalot
Agent Orange is trying to trade a US Resident to Turkey to get them to stop investigating the murder of another US Resident by Saudi Arabia.
bixby66
WH concludes that they don't give a fuck, money.
Bystandr
Now how about they chime in on what happened to the 2 sisters who were abducted on US soil found duct taped together?
LovrofTruth
What’s this story?
Bystandr
http://time.com/5443384/saudi-sisters-duct-taped/ They 'comitted suicide' .
LovrofTruth
Sad, who knows but I hate how quick the police jump to the conclusion of suicide. It’s convenient for them as the case closes & no more work
Bystandr
They were in communication with the Saudi consulate who wanted them to come back, then the bodies show up duct taped together. "Suicide".
hardytardigrade
Well, yeah, sometimes people who are obviously guilty are found guilty in court, too. That doesn't mean trials are stupid.
thechelonianshelmet
And yet the most powerful man in the US only believes FUX & Breitbart, et al
thehumblevagabond
Wtf do you expect him to believe CNN? Or yeah Communist News Network does so much better.
thechelonianshelmet
How about believing his own security services? Oh let me guess you , Q & Trump, et al know 'the truth', it's 'deep state', grow up child.
HereForTheSurpriseMeat
Or he could like, ya know, listen to government intelligence agencies who are extreme professionals with this kind of information
Innoculo
Like the ones they said, “We Will stop him from becoming President!”? The deep state did not want an outsider as president. You are Naive.
HereForTheSurpriseMeat
Do you mean exactly two people who were having a private conversation? “Deep state” is code word for tinfoil hat
thechelonianshelmet
Hey, they're likely selling tinfoil somewhere, you might want to stock up...
DavidNightingale
... and now we watch nothing happen.
LovrofTruth
Sad, but your probably very correct. Well, I'm sure something is going to happen otherwise no leak. But its probably more for pressure.
88wut
So what is anyone going to do about it?
LovrofTruth
Taking back our government would be a good start.
dumbinsults
I don't believe we've gotten those orders yet.
thedudeman519
If you think Republicans and Democrats don't both serve Saudi interests, I got a bridge to sell you
thecolonels
Yet more liberal governments around the world are taking action against SA. Vote Sanders next time?
thedudeman519
considering US has been on the Saudi teat for nearly a century now, I doubt you can just "vote harder" on this one
thecolonels
Why did you put quotes around something i didnt say? Also, canada has about the same size economy. Not like US couldnt survive without SA.
thedudeman519
Meant to just put the quotes around "vote". The US could today survive without SA. I agree. But will they cut the cord? Not likely
SirSmurfalot
False equivalency. There is a huge fucking difference between diplomacy and helping them cover up the cold-blooded murder of a journalist.
Beeseik
Oh boy, sit back and listen to the tale of the iraqi insurgency that was proven to be funded by the Saudis under both administrations
Beeseik
... uh that's it. And the folks investigating were told to share their Intel with Saudi intelligence. Some refused.
SirSmurfalot
And most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi. What is your point?
thedudeman519
And how about arms deals consistently from either party? Looking the other way du4ing numerous human rights violations? Diplomacy my ass
SirSmurfalot
The US is one of the biggest arms dealers in the world, and has been for a long time. Blame the capitalist/corporate capture of democracy.

SirSmurfalot
Google it: "corporate capture of democracy"
ajb7988
You do realize it probably had to be officially said because the administration denies it.
MrDeadsr
Has Trump already said that the CIA is fake news?
NotTechnicallyIncorrect
Or because it majorly impacts international relations and you don’t just go with the popular opinion on these matters... either one...
BigFatUglyBugFaceBabyEatingOBrian
Well, it SHOULD impact international relations greatly but because $, other interests and the current US admin nothin will happen
amglasgow
Trump still denies it. He doesn't give a shit.
goldfishinsurancesalesman
Or because the CIA does it's job regardless of whether something is 'obvious'. As they should...
MrDeadsr
I somehow doubt Trump has many friends within the agencys after all the negative stuff he said about them
LaronX
I mean especially then. Witch hunting isn't cool.
ThePastmaster
This. We had a witch hunt for paedophiles in the 90's and we still have almost no male teachers below grade 4-5. At all.
DaBoss302
Oh that would require to much rationale thinking
Begotten
Definitely should have just listened to the media on day one and forget about an actual investigation am I rite
Shishoka
You do realize the administration was being diplomatic with an ally.
pfsar
Bullshit. Trump’s attitude went from ‘It was probably an accident like they said’ to ‘Well, we sell them a lot of stuff, so who cares?’
ButIBuildAThousandBridges
Far too diplomatic with those guys for far too long
NickRichards1951
Just like with Canada, France, UK, Germany
pfsar
Trump regularly attacks US allies. He recently attacked France on the anniversary of a terrorist attack. Then there’s his trade wars.
khora
Gotta protect all those arms deals signed under Obama.
idontcare99099
If you had said “Trump” instead of “Obama” you would have gotten way more upvotes
khora
Yeah, but most outstanding contracts are from Obama administration, so that would be less accurate.
HiddenSanity
And Bush, And Clinton...
Beezlebubble
And nothing will be done. Because OIL

caboops
Always those damn Jews, right? S/ I really dont see how you blame Israel for this.
DenaliRaven
It’s because of an arms deal
Beezlebubble
You're right. Let's say both then
DenaliRaven
US is the largest crude oil producer in the world. You’re just ignorant
juniorjim
And Trump’s Christian followers, despite all their self-righteousness, have no morals

juniorjim
Not many people reference Victor Hugo these days
NapalmScatterBrain
Yet that orange sack of shit in the White House will do fuck all about it.
GnomeDeGuerre
In fairness to the cheeto, the Sauds have been ignored by many, for a long time.
lostlittletimeonthis
Remember when he said he wasn't afraid of the NRA and he would take care of guns?
callingalljanmichaelvincents
So what is it that he’s supposed to do?
Satherian
Funny you should say that...
Mewmus
What EXACTLY makes this trumps problem? Why does he NEED to do anything about it?
FiveShiftOne
You know, the dead legal American resident.
Slamtastik
because he said there would be hell to pay if they are responsible
Conjo88
As the POTUS and more or less the primary representative of our nation, a public denouncement now the our agency made its conclusion?
ghostleopard
Money is more important
bigkingdingaling
What do you suggest he do?
DavidHawa
Refuse to buy their oil and make it go up to 8$ a gallon. An environmentalist dream!
AwwDamn321
Hahaha that’s good
NapalmScatterBrain
Smack his bottom for being a bad boy
CheekyBreeki
Why not both.gif
NATA5
Smack his own ass?
Allofyoush
Refuse selling them fucking weapons, for starters.
FeralFuschia
THANK YOU! The fact this guy killed was an American who spoke out means nothing to trump since he sold them arms proving the US is for sale.
FeralFuschia
PLUS remember, as trump was running for office, he plans opening a hotel in Saudi plus registered 40 other businesses there. Money > people
idontcare99099
You do realize those arms contracts you’re upset about were signed well before Trump even began to run for office right?
MetSoh
There's levels to this shit. USA has to transition out of using oil then they can sanction them or the Saudis could collapse the US economy
DrKriegersClone
Although that might well get SA invaded and regime-changed.
tweakbz
You know the US produces more oil than Saudi Arabia, right?
GnomeDeGuerre
Does that mean that they can do without their oil?
tweakbz
I wish
GnomeDeGuerre
I do too.
FeralFuschia
We also use tons more than anyone worldwide. We produce more, we use a hell of a lot more than that.
berrydude848
That's not true. We just became a net oil exporter.
FeralFuschia
In 2017, United States produced about 9.35 million barrels per day.In 2017, the United States consumed about 19.96 million barrels per day.
previoustopcomment
US hasn't been dependant on mideast oil for years.
tweakbz
I figured as much but I didn't want to say it and be wrong, lol
MetSoh
The percentage of mideast oil used by the US is enough to crash the economy if it were suddenly stopped. It's only like 15% but thats enough
previoustopcomment
Strategic oil reserve gives them plenty of breathing room to adapt.
beerbarrel
Given the state of the current administration, and the head dummy in charge, I'm embarrassed to be an American these days.
Mewmus
Trump has no eloquence, but which of his policies have harmed you?
FiveShiftOne
Remember the part where he completely fucked the budget and mission statement of the Environmental Protection Agency?
Mewmus
How did that harm you directly?
FiveShiftOne
California is completely on fire and our government is diving headfirst back into the industries that most contribute to climate change.
FiveShiftOne
Maryland has had its wettest year on record, with numerous floods. Yeah, his climate change policy directly affects me. Maybe not today, >
Mewmus
um...trumps policies have literally NOTHING to do with the california fires
bigkingdingaling
You have the freedom to leave. And what's really upsetting you?
VinerialBlumpkin11
Probably that he has the freedom to leave and realizes it's worse other places.
Jarjarthejedi
Freedom to leave, and freedom to stay and try and make things better.
bigkingdingaling
You're right, bitching on Imgur is the way to change the game
Jarjarthejedi
I know. It's completely useless. I'm not sure why you're doing it, but hey, you be you. :P
