They’re sitting on an ocean of oil. What do they need nuclear energy for?

Muslims are the pitbulls of humanity.

No matter how nice they might seem, they will eventually try to kill you.

From what I can see in the article before the paywall - it says this will shut out other countries with all the business going to American companies

That sort of implies SA was going to build a nuclear program regardless

So we might as well give that business to American companies. Is that what Trump is doing?

They'll have more oil to sell for cash.

What happens when we are past peak oil?

Great question. If you asked Trump, he’d probably just give you a blank look.

And if you asked the Saudis, they’d probably just snicker.

Re: "Trump will provide peaceful nuclear power to Saudi Arabia"

Great idea...

Saudi Arabia is now the #1 target in the world for violent anti-West Muslims!

The Hormuz Letter
@HormuzLetter

BREAKING: Trump has formally approved a landmark 30-year US-Saudi nuclear deal worth tens of billions of dollars that would give American companies a central role in developing Saudi Arabia’s nuclear program, per US officials to WSJ.

The deal opens the door to uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, with American companies to build a uranium enrichment facility.

This comes as the US continues destroying Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and Trump threatens to bomb the heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain site “pretty soon and very heavily.”

MBS is a rational ruler and that appears to be the case.

But it's likely that his successor is more of a Wahhabist who believes that the whole world should be Dar al-Islam (The House of Islam).

Oil and nuclear power serve two different energy needs.

How many power plants are there that run on oil?
