    What do you mean political capital? The dude would just send his goons on a private plane to the US. They hunt down his ex wife murder her and they are on the plane back to Saudi Arabia. No need for the Saudi government or family to be involved.

      Never been to the US, huh?

      It’s not like Saudi Arabia or Cambodia. Political assassinations here are excruciatingly rare because Americans generally see themselves as better than that and have systems in place to prevent it.

      Other nations have systems in place to allow it.

      If her husband is American, there’s a 0% chance the Saudis facilitate his assassination on US soil. If word got out (which it will,) Americans will be clamoring for retaliation. And they will get it.
