For decades the West has been working to keep nukes out of the hands of those countries in the Middle East (with the exception of Israel) because of the chance of it would be used in ways not approved by the leaders here in the West. Look how hard the US has fought to keep it out of the hands of Iran and Israel has used the possibility of nukes in the Middle East (with the exception of them) to get unlimited aid from the West.
Then in the last year or so there has been rumblings that Saudis have been posturing to move into the realm of nuke energy.
Saudi Arabia is moving swiftly to become the next country in the Middle East with nuclear power. The Kingdom is on the verge of striking a deal with the US for the purchase of nuclear reactors despite concerns over its refusal to accept stringent restrictions against the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman, who is the de facto ruler of the country, has ambitious plans to diversify the country’s energy source and is in the market to purchase nuclear power reactors. The potential for lucrative deals is too good to be missed and the Trump administration is thought to be mulling over loosening US law to win Saudi contracts, worth billions. The Kingdom has refused to be bound by stringent US regulations that restrict reprocessing and enriching uranium for the production of nuclear weapons.

Now I personally think it is a horrible idea if the security of the Middle East and possibly the world is of a concern.
Why?
The radical extreme fundamentalist beliefs of the Saudi brand of Islam, Wahhabism is the belief of most of the jihadists fighting in the world. If Saudi Arabia were to get their reactors then they would produce waste which in turn could be used as a dirty bomb….something the Radicals have been fantasizing about for years….
In other words this idea would give these barbarous toads one step closer to the WMD that they dream of for so long.
The Trump administration has had some horrible ideas in its year of existence….but this one is by far one of their worst….hopefully clearer thinking will prevail.
SA could easily produce all the energy they need by covering only a part of its deserts with solar farms…
I know so what is this burning desire for nuke energy…..chuq
Given the above, there’s only one reason…
Yeah, they could do that AND slurp up the ocean oil that’s underneath at the same time.
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
Yet another country with no need of nukes (like Israel) being courted as a buffer to Iran, with obviously bad results, long term.
Best wishes, Pete.
Plus the wahabbism thing is also we should consider….have a good day….chuq
The best place for nukes in much of the Middle East is a path from aircraft above to ground below in beautiful free fall.
One could say the same about our leadership these days
One could say any inane thing that one wishes to say and that is freedom of speech.
Yes we have a first amendment….thanx for the
update
And what happens when Iran and the Saudis both get nukes? Everybody in North America is so fucking Israel-centric, Israeli’s safety is all they think about. Those two are just as likely to point them at each other as they are at Israel.
And I’m sure the Mossad is hiring trolls that type insults in Arabic as we speak.
No need to hire have many Americans that suck from that teet…chuq
