Say the worst is proven and it’s murder, and the rabbit hole traces back to some shady Qatar government official—— would that lead to some international crisis to the point where military actions would be considered?

I’m assuming Qatar wouldn’t commit this crime because of the following:

Qatar is one of the United States' closest military partners in the region. Al-Udeid Air Base is home to the Combined Air Operation Center, which hosts 18 nations and is responsible for all Coalition air operations in the Middle East and Central Asia

I intentionally chose to post this article because because the headline wasn’t click baiting that he may have been killed.

That being said, I don’t agree with you logic. Saudi Arabia is a US ally and funded the 9/11 attacks. They also murdered a journalist who was a US a resident and whose children are US citizens. The US has set the precedent that even the most vile act of terrorism against our nation goes unpunished. So what’s killing one more journalist going to do?

​

That being said, I’m not saying he was killed, nor am I saying he wasn’t. I just think this incident deserves a healthy dose of skepticism. Terrible coincidences happen all the time, and journalists are killed all the time.
