"Information Clearing House" - There was acute embarrassment among US politicians and media over Donald Trump’s shameful whitewashing this week of the Saudi regime in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.But rather than dealing with the obvious fact that US foreign power is evidently dependent on Saudi despotism, Trump’s critics tried to explain away that scandal by dragging Russia’s Vladimir Putin into the frame. A classic case of denial through distraction.
The Washington Post reported: “Trump’s defense of Saudi Arabia marks another instance when he has sided with the personal assurances of an autocrat, who has an incentive to deceive him, over the objective analysis of his own intelligence officials. Trump also took the word of Russian [President] Vladimir Putin that he didn’t meddle in the 2016 elections, despite the unanimous conclusions of the US intelligence community to the contrary.”
