I think something will change. The next time Iran or North Korea comes up $1 Mil or two short on the price of a new nuclear reactor, there will be oodles of investment capital in the UAE just waiting to jump into the partnership. That much will definitely be a change as a result of this entire fiasco.
So now instead of being our "ally", the UAE will pay for Iran and North Korea to finish their nuclear weapons? Is that what you are saying?
Saudi Arabia funded the Pakistani nuclear program - purchased from north korea, who got it from china.
nothing changes. its just the level of sh*t we are willing to accept from that part of the world, because we need their oil.
