Anything less than a full trade embargo is the wrong answer.

My guess is watch this on stock,Citi Corp. We have seen this picture a few times in the past,and the Saudi's used Oil as their motivator.

Saudi Arabia Wants Trump And Congress To Forget Jamal Khashoggi. Here’s Its Likely Playbook.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, implicated in the journalist's potential murder, could blunt criticism using the most sprawling foreign influence campaign in the U.S. today.

WASHINGTON ― Saudi Arabia is facing an unprecedented backlash from the U.S. elite over the presumed murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi ― and it’s threatening an unprecedented offensive of its own to try to turn things around.

Congress is threatening sanctions on the longtime U.S. partner, President Donald Trump is publicly demanding answers about Khashoggi’s fate, and major American businesses are backing out of a high-profile Saudi conference. But as top Americans suggest the U.S.-Saudi relationship may be about to fundamentally change, the Saudis have many powerful levers to pull in their efforts to maintain bipartisan support for their frequently controversial policies.

By directing billions of dollars of Saudi money into the U.S. for decades, Riyadh’s ruling family has won the support of small but powerful circles of influential Americans and courted wider public acceptance through corporate ties and philanthropy. It’s been a solid investment for a regime that relies heavily on Washington for its security but can’t make the same claims to shared values or history as other American allies like Britain. For years, spending in ways beneficial to the U.S. ― both stateside and abroad, such as its funding Islamist fighters in Afghanistan to combat the Soviet Union ― has effectively been an insurance policy for Saudi Arabia.

Excerpt: Representatives from companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin argue that to keep jobs at plants that mushroomed across the U.S. amid post-9/11 wars, Congress must almost never use its veto over arms deals. “Because we are in a permanent state of warfare, we have a war-based economy,” said Elizabeth Beavers, an organizer with the progressive group Indivisible.

Arms manufacturers have already told Trump aides they are worried about Capitol Hill blocking more sales over Khashoggi, Reuters reported Friday. That would add to the deals already held up over a Saudi military campaign in Yemen that’s been accused of dozens of war crimes.

we're mostly energy independent. They can manipulate world oil prices by turning the spigot on their dwindling supply, but there are huge limits on what they can do and either way will hurt them far more. Unlike them, we're a fabulously wealthy and powerful nation.

Saudi Arabia, otoh, has been on the brink of collapse for some time from a number of huge, intractable, mostly inevitably destructive factors.

Someone mentioned brass balls. Well, as this moment in time they might work for MBS since we know that Trump not only has none at all but also is easily played and bought.

There's also no reason to think only the Russians and some among our own kleptocrats have "something" on someone like Trump. I'd ask our cat if she does if I could understand her answer.

Iran wasn’t responsible for 9/11.
