Were that as cut and dried as you are flippantly attempting to assert, they would have had them decades ago.
Total credibility fail on your part.
Are you perhaps auditioning for Maddow’s job?
Give Muslims atomic technology or Russians Russians Russians?
Nope, just pointing out that on the surface, at this point in time they *will* get the technology anyway. That being the case I would rather we have the kill switch than someone else.
It is also an open secret that the Saudis already *have* nuclear weapons via Pakistan.
The Russians provided the nuclear reactor to Iran and three more are on order. There is no prohibition on nations acquiring nuclear reactors for peaceful purposes. And the technology has evolved to eliminate the production of plutonium.
The Saudis can get nuclear reactors from France, South Korea, and countries other than Russia. Having lived five years in the Kingdom, the Saudis will obtain the reactors from sources other than Russia. They hate the Iranians and Russia’s working with Iran in Syria disqualifies them for any purchase of a reactor. If the US doesn’t get the contract, someone other than Russia will.
