Trump providing Saudi Arabia with path toward nuclear weapons

[Bugsy McGurk]

This must be from The Onion, you say?

Nope. It’s real. There is money to be made by the Trump cabal, so it’s off to the races - Trump wasting over a hundred billion dollars on his Iran war while he takes active steps toward providing Saudi Arabia, home to al Qaeda, with nuclear weapons.

A real story. Not from The Onion. As the Trump cultists applaud.

The deal is about nuclear power, which we need to transition away from fossil fuel burning. Saudi Arabia could buy a nuclear weapon tomorrow if they wanted to, and if they are determined to get a nuclear arsenal there is no peaceful way to prevent that. That the regime is reactionary and dangerous means we need to mobilize resistance, but it is hard to fathom Saudi Arabia ever being the threat to world peace and freedom that Pakistan (for example) is. This seems like a reasonable approach.

Very similar to the “thinking” about the Saudis we heard pre-9/11.

If you’re agreeing with me you’re correct.

If you’re disagreeing with me you’re incorrect.

That you can't tell is not surprising in the least.

 

[EatTheRich]

The U.S. has no right to tell other countries what weapons they can have, much less what their power generation infrastructure should consist of.

Al-Qaeda famously hated the Saudi government and carried out the 9-11 attacks with the primary objective of bringing that government down. Certainly there are dissident elements in the royal family that may be more sympathetic to al-Qaeda and they could conceivably gain control of the country in the future, but as it stands Saudi Arabia is dominated by reformists.

Of course it’s not surprising. You posted gibberish.

Sheesh.

You clearly prove you don't know the difference between Fact and Celebrating
I'd be surprised if they don't already have Nukes and agree with ETR, they could easily buy one......

it's clear Iran having Nukes doesn't bother you

Your cult leader tore up the international agreement that blocked Iranian nukes, getting nothing in return. You should apologize instead of lecturing people about Iranian nukes.
