“This is part of a long-planned and mutually agreed upon strategic campaign against Iran, which included some security guarantees for the Saudis, for their participation. They have already taken some big hits.”

I am not fooled by the Saudis. We may be their friend, but they are not ours. Religiously and philosophically they are only 1 degree from the Mullahs of Tehran, and that 1 degree is that they are Sunni and the Mullahs; are Shia and both want to be the head honchos of Islam. They are both dictatorial states, both with religious police, both enforce sharia laws, both execute folks for blasphemy, both suppress freedom of religion and free speech and both execute folks for challenging the political views of the leaders.
The fight between the Mullahs of Tehran and the Wahabi Saudi is a fight over Islam. We do not have a dog in that fight.
On a moments notice the Saudis will have delivery of nuclear arms from Pakistan. We should tell them to do it, now. MAD will then end the Mullahs attempt to intimidate the Saudis without any help from us.
“B.S. We do not have a dog in that fight.”

How quick you are to forget those Marines killed in the Beirut bombing, and all those American Servicemen killed and maimed at Iran’s direction in Iraq, and their continued planning, funding and organizing to strike against the USA - including in the USA - while they publicly lead chants of “Death to America”.
Waiting for nukes to go off, before it passes your threshold of a dog in the fight?
