I cannot understand how US citizens tolerant such behavior, we should invade Saudi! (Pun intended)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks. Rather than just post random links to unheard of sites, it would be great if those links had a short description of what the link is.

I agree, and FYI, if you click the 'web' link which is under the article title on the comments page, if you click the first result, you will have google effectively do what outline.com does for you.

I'm confused on why this works. I see the promoted version at the top of the SERPs opens up the full article, but the first actual SERP, which is the same article shows the paywall.

What is this?

From their site:

A noble initiative, I think.

Thank you for this. I don't know why people keep posting links that are behind a paywall.

I don't understand why Kashoggi is brought up so much more frequently compared to what Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen.

Good. Injustice should be really, really expensive in the 21st century. I hope the bill just keeps getting bigger for them.

In general people find it much easier to understand the story of one person than to understand the story of thousands.
