The problem is that the Saudi Regime has reached a point of not just murder but instability and poor judgement. IE, they brutally murdered someone of substance, in a lawless fashion, outside Saudi Arabia proper, for very little cause - after they brutally, physically extracted wealth from their own financier class (princes and such probably had taken a good portion of this corruptly but there's a reason for rule-of-law in these situations, other the state doesn't know when to quit).
It's one, sadly normal, thing these days to get blood money from one or another sources. It's another thing to get money from a powerful entity that kills anyone at all that displeases them - after all, at that point they might actually kill you, personally if you lose money or complain. I don't think even the Mafia is foolish enough to do this regularly.
And the evils of the Saudi Regime have been considered tolerable for years, in the interest of stability and, well, making money. Now you have something like a coal-mine that's broken out into the open. What to do, what to do?
