It's interesting that Khashoggi's assassination is what seems to bother people most about the Saudis. Not the invasion of Yemen that has killed over a hundred thousand civilians or the littany of other crimes.

Considering what Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen, with implicit support from NATO countries, and what Russia is doing in Ukraine we (as in Europe and the "West") should have stopped all business relationships with Saudi quite a while ago.
Saudi's actions bother me so, up to the point I refuse to work as much as possible with them, for them or with money from them. Luckily, for now at least, that is made easy since (to my knowledge) my employer isn't funded by Saudi blood money. It is funded by Chinese money so, which poses an interesting dilemma.
It doesn't diminish the deaths of 100k civilians. No whataboutism debate necessary, both are barbaric. One was top of mind, neither is mutually exclusive.
The common denominator between Saudis and Russia is oil and lack of conscience or moral compass. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
