Saudi Arabia vs Russia and Iran.....This is what popcorn was invented for.
I love the sell of burning Korans and prayer rugs in the morning.
You realize that Israel would be next, as would Central Europe, and likely beyond that.
This is going to lead to a nuclear conflict in the ME. Containing it to the ME will be extraordinarily difficult.
Finally, we have a full armored division in SA. 400 tanks and 15,000 men, more than likely. Probably more than that. They have to come home first before all this shooting starts.
By the way, if Russia’s got the kind of numbers the Iranians claim they have there, they could be on the northern border of SA in two weeks. Maybe less.
The Persians will end up taking over Mecca. The Russians will likely take Riyahd and Medina.
This will be very, very ugly for all concerned. Turkey will also end up being overrun as well.
I believe the Iranians wanted nukes not because they want to use them on the west, but because they want détente with the Russians. “If we do this thing together, what’s to stop Russian tanks from simply turning around and invading Iran?”
If the Iranians had nukes, the Russians are quite sure the Iranians would use them on Russia should the Russians renege on their deal (they have a perfect record on the topic of reneging on deals).
If Iran gets nukes, they have a hedge on their new partners, and they get to finally knock SA out of the box, along with the Sunnis. Persia achieves regional superpower status, oil goes back up above $120/BBL and the Russians get a lock on energy shipments to China and Europe.
Israel, eventually, loses; all metaphysical things being equal. I’m betting God comes Israel’s defense as promised, however you can’t base your national security plan on that sort of promise. Plan like its up to you, pray like its up to God.
US and Saudi Arabia vs. Russia and Iran. Lovely. And Israel get the hindmost.
