He was residing legally in the US on a O Visa and reportedly had applied for PR. The O Visa is an employer dependent visa and applies to the fields mentioned below. I do not see how Khashoggi fits into any of those categories.O-1A: individuals with an extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, or athletics (not including the arts, motion pictures or television industry) O-1B: individuals with an extraordinary ability in the arts or extraordinary achievement in motion picture or television industry. You seem to be trying to go down a rabbit hole with your mention of Khashoggi. What exactly is your point and how is it relevant ?

The ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the United States, Yousef
al-Otaiba, said Wednesday that his country would increase oil
production. The announcement came one day after President Biden said the
U.S. would no longer buy Russian oil, a move that could lead to higher
global oil prices because of ongoing market instability during Russiaâs
war in Ukraine. âWe favor production increases and will be encouraging
OPEC to consider higher production levels,â Mr. al-Otaiba said
Wednesday, referring to a consortium of oil-producing nations. âThe UAE
has been a reliable and responsible supplier of energy to global markets
for more than 50 years and believes that stability in energy markets is
critical to the global economy.â

They have leverage.
How would you propose to go about strong arming them projecting strength?
No more penthouse suites and yachts in the US? Not give them their WMDs? No more jets? No more training? Get friendly with Iran? Remove military bases?

Small thinking? I think you must be projecting yourself onto me. Small thinking is denying there is a Global Warming issue that requires a great deal of coordination, resources and planning to that we need to begin seriously prioritizing now. Small thinking is dismissing the threat because the answer to Global Warming will magically drop into our laps should the situation really turn dire.

I am of the opinion and considered thought that :
A) The changing climate has more to do with natural cycles and events than man made ones.
B) That new technology is always on the horizon that will actually do something to really mitigate the affects of most man made contributions to the changing climate without harming or lowering our standard of living. But that will only happen in a free world in an open society.
Clearly my priorities are much different than yours.
Kurt, when it comes to global warming it's way way later than you think.
