to be fair, “doing shit” really means “doing shit that benefits people without much power and influence”, so, there’s basically no incentive other than “because it’s the right and just thing to do” which has never been the M.O. , despite everything people have been taught in the movies you make.
I believe you are replying to somebody from the US. Khashoggi was not killed on US soil though.
India is accused of killing a Canadian on Canadian soil. That is pretty bad. It puts them in a pretty small club of state actors. The obvious peer is Russia.
Well, I wasn’t the OP, but having a president basically say, “Yeah, a foreign government murdered and dismembered one of our citizens, but do you realize how much money they spend here?” hasn’t really left my consciousness.

We didn’t do shit when our own citizen was butchered on the order of a foreign head of state.
Didn’t do shit when a foreign head of state effectively ordered his “bodyguards” to attack American citizens who were protesting on American soil.
We’re barely doing shit about the currently growing coup.

Khashoggi isn’t Canadian, though. Plus, US-Canada relations are, I’d imagine, a bit tighter than US-Saudi relations… I’d hope, at least.

When did Russia do the same?
He was American. And I was using our American “lack of doing shit” examples. Re: allies
He wasn’t killed on American soil.
Didn’t say he was. Nor should it matter.
World moves fast. Can you remind me what happened?
Khashoggi.
Oh of course. Got confused by who you were referring to as “we”.
