So, if other countries tried to sanction the US to not allow Hillary to be President, would that be bad. Most will say yes it is bad, BUT, they want to have sanctions on Saudi and stop the future King. I thought we did not like people interfering with our elections??

They killed an American resident!
Our sanctions are not about their elections, it is about their crime.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Do you think if we put sanctions on the next King of Saudi, they will not break with USA? Do you think they will not react?

What about China? What about all the US Residents in El Sal and Hondo who get hurt and killed each year? What about all the Americans subject to kidnapping in Mex? What country will we still have friendly relations with.

Another huge stretch of a non applicable analogy. Both the US and Canada applied sanctions against the 17 individuals that were identified by the Saudi authorities as being responsible for the murder. The Saudis officials have recommended the death sentence for 5 of them. A US citizen can't enter Canada if they have a DUI, so not letting in the murder accomplices is somehow a bad thing? As for interfering in elections, obviously, the Saudis have no elections for king. The will of the people is not considered at all. Is it your position that the US should never put sanctions on countries when their leaders openly violate international norms? Are you also against sanctions on Russia for annexing Crimea, or NK for its nuclear program, or Iran for its nuke program and errorist activities?

Saudi Arabia uses the tribal model of rule. Not much different from how the Native American Tribes did it before we settled the country.

SPC Erich Guenther - the members of the House Of Saud, using all the palace intrigue and duplicity of an extended royal family determine who will become king by naming who will be the crown prince. In just the past three years, the named crown prince has been demoted and replaced by another twice, ending with the current crown prince MBS replacing MBN. It's all about who the current king wants and the support he builds within key senior family members. But the Saudi people have absolutely nothing to do with it.

What country would we not put sanctions on that does not harm US Cit or have human rights violations? Are you for sanctions on China, El Sal, Hondo, and Mexico....what countries have not violated human rights in Africa and Latin Am.

We always seem to think that we have the right to tell others what to do but we carry on when outsiders have views or positions on the US. We were happy to spy on our allies but we threw a fit about the reverse...
