The timing of this is very interesting.

How so? Politically as they just probably and rightfully accused the Saudis of murdering a journalist? I'm of the opinion two countries can be shit at the same time. I'm not even impressed w/ my own.

Yeah, this has been an ongoing thing for two years and they just brought the US into the fray with the Saudi thing by showing them video proof of the killing.

Did they finally actually show the proof. Last I heard there was a flimsy excuse of not releasing it b/c they didn't want to reveal their spying capabilities. All I could think was... well now they know their consulate is bugged. I'm 99.9% sure the saudis did this at any rate. I just found Turkey's previous reasoning to be weak. They're probably just extending the headlines at this point. At this point it's just a tyrant pointing at a dictator and saying the other is worse. "Saudi Royalty" is probably the greatest euphemism of modern times.
