325

not according to U.S law.

326

He renounced US citizenship?

327

Was he in Saudi Arabia on a visa?

328

I have no idea what that means.

329

according to the U.S legal system he is an American citizen.

330

I imagine he didn’t need one.

You said ^. He is an American Citizen. We recognize nothing else.

331

He is not in US jurisdiction. He is not in Saudi Arabia as a US citizen.

332

When did he stop becoming a US citizen?

333

Why didn’t he need one? I do.

Neither do they.

334

that doesn’t matter he is still a U.S citizen according to the U.S government.

335

That’s fine. We’re better.

336

He didn’t. It became irrelevant the minute he chose to enter Saudi Arabia as a Saudi citizen.

337

Are we?

338

The US government has no jurisdiction in Saudi Arabia.

339

I never claimed they did.

I claimed that the U.S government should have a legal responsibility to protect the human right of their citizen detained in other countries.

340

Protect how?

341

Well then you better start arresting communist party in China for violating the rights of American citizen since they’re God given.

Arrest Putin, Arrest your socialist buddy in Venezuela, all the Saudis officials and Iranians if you guys really believe what you’re saying.

342

You got a law or policy or precedence to support your contention that he stopped being an American citizen at a magical time and place?

Really imo the argument that he’s not the right type of American just seems like an excuse for not caring.

Your earlier question of what are we supposed to do about it is a better one when we remove that excuse.

343

diplomacy

344

You got a law that says the US government has jurisdiction in Saudi Arabia?
