Saudis parade nuclear missiles for the first time in defiance of US-Iranian nuclear accord

Saudi Arabia became the first Middle East nation to publicly exhibit its nuclear-capable missiles. The long-range, liquid propellant DF-3 ballistic missile (NATO designated CSS-2), purchased from China 27 years ago, was displayed for the first time at a Saudi military parade Tuesday, April 29, in the eastern military town of Hafar Al-Batin, at the junction of the Saudi-Kuwaiti-Iraqi borders.

. . . . .

The West has no information about when the new Chinese missiles were delivered to Saudi Arabia.

The presence of the top Pakistani soldier at the parade of military and nuclear hardware was meant as corroboration of Islamabad’s active role as the source of the Saudi nuclear arsenal.

So, when the muzzynuts take Saudi Arabia away from the king, they get the nukes.

Thank you Obama for making the world safe for nukes!

Nukes for everyone!

[gaijin]

They want to get the attention of Tehran, since they know well and good that D.C. cannot.

[SIRTRIS]

I wonder if Kerry is up on this! LOL

purchased from China 27 years ago

Have they kept fresh oil in there?

Well, from a Californian/Russian perspective, it’s better than emulating little, right wing chicken kids by doing their “duck and cover” drills.

[Extreme irony and sarcasm there. Near a naval air station far from California (Texas), we didn’t have hippies for parents, see the same propaganda or complain about defense. The monthly sirens and drills were an enjoyable break from school routines. I also enjoyed the Civil Defense class for a few months in high school.]

Well well. Whatdaya know? The chief funders of islamoNazi terrorist training around the world have also bought some nukes and are now parading them in the streets. This news comes to us the very day after Obama told us how successfully he is at foreign policy work. May God protect America.

Luv those RED lines!

Our devoted friends and allies, the Saudis.

First I've heard of the Saudis having nukes.It's certainly not difficult to understand why they'd want one....Iran isn't at all well liked,or trusted,by most of her neighbors.

[Red Badger]

Have they kept fresh oil in there?

Saudis have all the oil they'll ever need......................

[caww]

Either way...there seems to be no restraint of Nations now so the drum beats of nuclear war are bound to come out....

More than disturbing when nations behaviors now are proving the US hasn’t enough influence to change the tide we see happening now on the World Stage.

Praying nothing occurs before all who will come into the fold are safely there....when this thing ultimately breaks it’s going to be unlike the world has ever known....or will again.

We have a ways to go til then but it’s difficult seeing things line up.

[silverleaf]

But but but

SecState Hillary promised the Saudis they would be under our nuke umbrella if Iran tried anything

kinda like her husband Bill promised the Ukrainians we’d protect them from Russia if they gave up their nukes

[Blood of Tyrants]

Everyone except the US. The US has proven that it can’t be trusted with nukes.

[tahoeblue]

First I’ve heard also. Having a big delivery system isn’t the same as having a payload worth delivering.

Wasn’t it just a few months ago that SA was threatening to acquire nukes if nothing was done to stop Iran’s program?

[headless_thompson_gunner]

I shudder, shudder, I tell you, at the reprisals they will face at the hands of our president for such an egregious act of provocation...

[ßuddaßudd]

The question now becomes is Øbama a Shia or Sunni ?

The Saudi's may not physically possess any nukes for those missiles, but it's a commonly known "non-secret" that they have a number on lay-away at Pakistan's Nuke-mart.
