#1 Speaking of Putin's fear of NUCLEAR ISLAM, to include GLOBAL NUCLEAR JIHAD ... ...

Meanwhile, NOT to be outdone by the KSA = Muslim Sunnis ...

* NORTH KOREA = repor is working = testing engines for a possible LR ICBM capable of reaching CONUS.

#2 Can't they buy the nuke warheads from the Pakis? Would they even have to buy it? Don't the Pakis owe them? Haven't they already threatened to do so? Or, what if they already have?

#3 Furthermore, how do you get the Iranians to agree to shut down their nuke program when the Soddies are threatening them? Thank you, Bush. Thank you, Obama, for dithering all these years while Iran destabilized and upset the strategic balance in the Middle East with their nuke program.

#4 Can't they buy the nuke warheads from the Pakis?

The Saudis probably already have a few in stock.

#5 I have heard from several people that are considered experts in their field that they believe the first nuclear exchange will happen in the Middle East. And it will be between Arab/Islamic powers.

I have seen little to dissuade me from that train of thought.

#7 If the prevailing winds in that part of the world blow from west to east then at least we can look forward to Russia and China getting the brunt of the fallout.

#8 Way to go Hillary and Obama - your foreign policy failures have pushed the Saudis into acquiring long ranged missiles, and likely the nuclear warheads to go on them.

Not a fucking peep from the US press on this massive failure, and its impact on the stability of the region.

#9 Pappy,

The Saudis certainly have no nuclear warheads just lying around. On the other hand, I have no doubt that there are some warheads in a WSA in Pakistan that have their shipping paperwork all filled out. If the Iranians announced a successful test on Monday, the Saudi missiles would have warheads on them by Thursday night.

And hoo boy, would Friday prayers be interesting.

#10 Oldspook: they've had those missiles for a long while. Ordered in 1987, and delivered in 1988.

#11 I think Old Spook is referring to the failures of Hillary and Obama have emboldened anyone with the means of snapping the USA in the snout.

This is the first time, since their 1988 purchase, the Saudi's have acted upon a desire to demonstrate, in a very public way, their positive relationship with the ChiComs.

#12 Thanks for the correction. Magic Kingdom is not one of my old targets, so I am not entirely up to date on their TO&E.
