"Saudi Nuclear Weapons" Topic

debka.com/article/20505

Great. Just lovely.

What a wonderful thought to start the new year….

I am not sure what this get them other than a new target for the IDF/AF.

First we got The Bomb, and that was good,
'Cause we love peace and motherhood.

Money talks…..

Don't forget that the Saudis hate Iran – and support an Israeli or American strike on them. The Saudis are very independent. They aren't really friends with us – but they are allies. And they are at odds with lots of their neighbors. The religious zealots are a force there – but they don't run the country.

Yeah not good on general non-proliferation terms,

the Saudis apparently financed much of the Pakistani nuclear programme, and are known to have Pakistani and/or Chinese missiles in silos.

Reasonably cunning plan to have the warheads kept in Pakistan. First it gives them deniability – 'nukes? us? certainly not!' but also worries anyone that might have designs against them. I should think that the Saudis are more concerned about Iran than Israel. In effect the Saudis are in the position of European countries in the Cold War, that 'borrowed' nuclear weapons from the USA.

Should the Iranians try some nuclear blackmail in future against Saudi, then this becomes a rather different scenario. If Iran wants to try and destroy Saudi capabilities, then they have to take on Pakistan as well – rather a daunting idea!

The weak point is that the Pakistanis control the weapons, so would need to agree. Pakistan is not the most politically stable country in the world, but that's another question.

Yep only having nukes makes you safe in todays world.

i think that there is very extrange that they donīt have their nukes available…they need to bring them to their country first, a very weak situation, as you just need to shoot down a transport airplane to destroy their nuclear force?

they need to bring them to their country first, a very weak situation, as you just need to shoot down a transport airplane to destroy their nuclear force?

If I were planning it, I would use a very elaborate shell game… The article did say that there were 2 planes on standby. But what if they are a decoy, and the real bombs are Fedxed to SA. They say that they can ship 'anything' ;)

"Nuclear on demand"… Looks like Pakistan is acting like the Wal-Mart of nuclear weapons.

How much of this is to deter a strike on the wahabi extremists that are the core of al qaeda but also are wealthy saudi oil tycoons?

Rent a rocket geo-politics…nice now we have to bribe Pakistan to forego providing service access to such weapons.Mayhap North Korea will see this and jump on the band wagon too.

I think we should make this a Poll Suggestion, with the results being binding on the Saudis.

Seriously, I would rather the Saudis had nukes than the Norks. Compared to North Korea, the Saudis are a model of conservative restraint.
ALLEGEDLY, the Saudis have been egging on Israel and the US to take out Iran's nukes. Plainly, we have not, and since most nations can be counted on to act in what they perceive are their own self interests, I am not a bit surprised.
I am only surprised that it took so long. Saudi Arabia was probably bankrolling the Pakistani nuclear development anyway.

Then Russia got the bvomb,
But that's okay.
Cause the balance of power's maintained that way.
weaselhoffen.

But what if they are a decoy, and the real bombs are Fedxed to SA.

Nah. Fed Ex them to Iran!

The IDF better not mess with our oil supply, unless they are the ones who are going to give us oil for the same amount or less!!!

Otherwise, they are going to have to worry about an entirely different source of incoming warheads.

Grand Duke I have not heard that in a long time. now I need to see if my old tape will play. Heck I need to see if my old cassette player will play.

Saudis are the STTNG Ferengis,no morality beyond profit,explain fuel prices…create a crisis ,hike prices,drop a fraction ,repeat ad nauseam.

WarpSpeed: "Saudis are the STTNG Ferengis,no morality beyond profit,explain fuel prices…create a crisis ,hike prices,drop a fraction ,repeat ad nauseam."

So they are the true Sons Of Shem (Shame) then???

Dan

Yep send in a Klingon flotilla guided by Federation principles ,shoot the scribe.

Federation principles? No.

Just different Ferengi groups, but all guided by the same purely capitalist standards.

Dan

Dont worry,GazProm will send everything you need,subject to conversion rates and multi phaesic shifts,your billing will be quite fair!

Hapy to play the sophistry with you caribe! :)

We have been so pre-lubed and stretched that we won't notice the difference.

Dan

OOPs ,happy sorry.

LOL

Dan
PS. Ironic, isn't it? link

Oh yea,we are on global nuclear extortion scale now….sweet father of pickles,Mr Heinz,help us…..

Dont worry ,i can make the best dills from Russia,kosher added

Best thing about being a cousin to a Soviet Premiere,is that you get beat up in the Canadian army.

I say put them all siblings in a room, without any outside help whatsoever, and see who come out. If any.

Or just judge each side by how they treat their cousins. But all you get out of it is the rest of us bleeding for someone else's family squabble.

The spice must flow.

Dan

Yep ,IIHF 4-1 Can_USA!

Well, if we can't get our oil from Saudis, we'll just have to annex Canada, and get what we can there. :)

Dan
PS. Either that or some of you guys come up with a profitable alternative. The Fuel Wars are a-coming. And it ain't what you've seen so far.

The British Commonwealth defends Canada,as will Russia ,China and India,whether we like it or not.Some of us will ,and still would stand and die,the truth beknownst.Canada must become a voluntary member of the republic or a big back door of bacon ,slapshots,Tim Hortens smokey fried doughnuts,and bald white tourists will innundate Florida.Happy New Year comedy rant.

Want Florida? You can have it. Just let us have the oil. :)

Dan
PS. You can have Louisiana too. And I'll throw California in for free!

Perhaps we should ask the Saudis to do us a favor, for a change…..

What? To give us their one and only limited resource for a discount? LOL

They are just doing what anyone of us would do, making the most of the few years they have left.

Dan
PS. Did I ever tell you guys of a short story I wrote when I was 14 (wow, 31 years ago already?), about a half Arab half Jew boy (a true son of Abraham) who grows up to nuke Mecca, Riyadh and Jerusalem and Tel Aviv?

The British Commonwealth defends Canada

If we were as effective as we were defending Grenada from the US, then you have nothing to fear.

No, not that.

They've asked us to take care of Iran, or to let the Israelis do it, when it appears they are perfectly capable of doing so themselves, with a little help from well-paid local friends.

LOL

Dan
PS. Flawless logic. Let Barbarians (or Goyim) take care of Barbarians.

It's worked well in the past, in many cases.

Badger22, just in case you can't find the old recording.

Or not.

First wahabaism (spelling) now Nukes to "control" the "fundamentalists" you created and the traditional heretics (Iran) down the block.

Makes the wars of Religion in France (John Calvin was a Frenchman I believe) seem soooo tame.

This just in from 2018 :

"Not only has Saudi oil a really bad carbon footprint, it's also radioactive."

Canada will soon be accepting applications from qualified American states to join Canada.

Yep ,IIHF 4-1 Can_USA!

DON'T even go there!!
