I don't know much about this site, which could be libertarian as it has articles about Bitcoin and Litecoin, but it's very anti-war. This might be an opinion, but it seems plausible to me in the world of the ruling elite who have no morals, ethics, or humanity. It's all about dough! Lizard people!
However, there is considerable evidence pointing to the fact that the U.S.’ response to the Khashoggi affair is likely to be determined, not by any Saudi government responsibility for Khashoggi’s fate, but instead whether or not the Saudis choose to follow through with their promise to purchase the $15 billion U.S.-made THAAD missile system or it cheaper, Russia-made equivalent, the S-400. According to reports, the Saudis failed to meet the deadline for their planned THAAD purchase and had hinted in late September that they were planning to buy the S-400 from Russia instead.

But why are the Saudi's holding back on purchasing the THAAD system? Could it be?
US-Made Missile Defenses Spectacularly Failed in Saudi Arabia: "It's nothing but an unbroken trail of disasters with this weapon system."

Because anti-ballistic missile systems don’t work. None of them. Mankind does not have the technology to hit a bullet with a bullet.
Anti-aircraft systems work, like the Russian S-200, S-300 and S-400 systems. However anti-ballistic missile systems are a trillion-dollar fraud. All “successful” tests of them are faked. All the numbers are fudged.
Raytheon’s “Patriot” missile, Lockheed Martin’s Aegis system, Boeing’s “Ground-Based Interceptors,” and the Israel’s “Iron Dome” farce are all hoaxes. The entire U.S. Missile Defense Agency is based on a trillion-dollar lie. MIT physicist Theodore Postol is correct.
My statements are extreme, and I will not flesh them out here in this limited space unless someone challenges me. Suffice it to say that foreign governments don’t buy these systems because foreign governments know they’re useless. The Israelis have not been able to sell their “Iron Dome” nonsense to anyone outside Israel. (And believe me they have tried.)
Not a single Iraqi Scud missile was successfully intercepted during the “Gulf War” [Aug 1990 – Feb 1991]. The Patriot missile system proved useless there, and it has proved useless in Saudi Arabia against missiles fired from Yemen. The Saudi government tells lies in service to Raytheon, but it’s all lies.
”The Saudis claimed seven of the Patriots struck their targets.”
Lies.
“As recently as 2010, the US Missile Defense Agency claimed it had improved the Patriot.”
Lies. The Missile Defense Agency wants to maintain its hoax, and its flow of limitless federal dollars.
To repeat, anti-aircraft systems work, and offensive ballistic missiles work, but ballistic missile defense systems do not work. They are an ultra-expensive sham.
This b.s. has continued since US President Reagan began his "Star Wars" nonsense on 23 March 1983.
“However, there is considerable evidence pointing to the fact that the U.S.’ response to the Khashoggi affair is likely to be determined, not by any Saudi government responsibility for Khashoggi’s fate, but instead whether or not the Saudis choose to follow through with their promise to purchase the $15 billion U.S.-made THAAD missile system or its cheaper, Russia-made equivalent, the S-400.”
Equivalent? Do you see the nonsense involved? The confusion? The (useless) THAAD system supposedly defends against ballistic missiles, whereas the (powerful) Russian S-400 defends against aircraft. That's a huge difference. ICBM ballistic missile warheads travel at 16,000 mph. Good luck intercepting them.
The Saudis are idiots. Much of their relationship with the USA hinges on the Saudis’ willingness to keep spending billions on U.S. weapons. Likewise, much of the U.S. rhetoric against Iran hinges on convincing the Saudis to keep wasting their money on U.S. weapons. The Saudis also fund many of the Western Empire’s mercenary head-choppers in Syria and elsewhere.
The Saudis have a lot of oil, but culturally they are the most primitive, backward, and stupid of all Arab cultures. They are murderous rag-heads and camel humpers.
US foreign policy is dictated by arms sales.
Eisenhower nailed it in 1961. It's only gotten worse since then.
