No worries, as a girl and a Jew, they wouldn't want you there anyway.

But you'd think just visiting one of their consulates wouldn't be dangerous.

Here's one good thing about the Kingdom: If you do get there, you can't drive, so this won't happen to you:

Yeah, you have to wonder why people even take these hit squad jobs. They have to imagine the next hit will be them.

The problem is that we all know top republican leaders lie all the time. So, we're back where we started....

And in other breaking news, the guy suspected of masterminding the poisoning of the Skripols, at Putin's order of course, is dead at 62 or something like that.

I recerntly heard an interview on Fresh Air with an author whose father lived in fear of a Mexican govt hit squad. Because the father had *refused* an assignment to kill someone. The killers everntually got the father.

That news already broke here yesterday in jarnon's "RIH Igor Korobov" thread.

So it’s not really breaking, but it’s worth repeating here because a lot of “hit men” are dying mysteriously.

There needs to be more transparency in the spy business!
