Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s most explicit warning of the dangers of a “bad deal” with Iran are not that Iran would immediately get the bomb, but that other countries in the region might accelerate efforts to catch up with Tehran.

According to Emily B. Landau of the Institute of National Security Studies, whose expertise lies in nuclear proliferation and armament, all eyes are on Saudi Arabia.

Following Iran, “Saudi Arabia is the #1 contender to get nuclear weapons because there is a perceived relationship there with Pakistan. Saudi Arabia has financed Pakistan’s ballistic missile program and there might be some arrangement already in place on nuclear capability,” she said

“Saudi Arabia might be able to buy a bomb from Pakistan.” …

This is a self-evident truth that would happen within weeks or days. It’d just be a matter of transferring them. Obama’s policies, and frankly Putin’s too, are going to make this a reality.

They could also probably buy the bomb in a freight container system from Russia who would sell to anyone for the right price.

If anyone thinks the Saudi’s haven’t had nukes on layaway at Pakistan’s NukeMart for a long time, then I’ve got some Kansas ocean front property for sale really cheap they should check out.

It is going to be cheaper for the Saudis to hire/enable the Israelis to handle this crisis. Zero has systematically alienated and offended Arab allies, and they have let him know. That however plays to his wheelhouse, since his single short-term goal is to exterminate the Jews, and blame the Jews for their own demise, just as his forebears have tried to do.

I’d think that’s a bargain. We spent $76 million on the Manhattan Project. Consider that that number is in 1940’s dollars. I’d say that there must be an economy of scale that has brought the value down, but $50m seems way too low.

They only need to ask Obama. He will oblige. A gift.

My understanding per Jane’s Defense Weekly and other sources is that Saudi Arabia has already paid for the bombs - but won’t take delivery unless and until Iran is officially nuclear. At which point, Saudi takes its delivery and the Sunni-Shia fighting via proxy in Iraq and Syria could go nuclear.

Sunni vs Shia fighting goes back over a thousand years, within 50 years of Mohammed’s death.
That’s why the “When everyone is Muslim, we have peace” argument is fake. Between Sunni and Shia killing each other and both killing Sufi and Almaddhi Muslims, it is nonstop war.

Very true. Unfortunately they seem to be multiplying faster than they are being killed off.
