Saudi Arabia threatens to go nuclear 'in weeks' if Iran gets bomb

[iajj]

i am going to say this with all due respect to the saudis: arabs, you just never worked as hard as the pakistanis and persians to make this happen, nor was your spine ever as straight as pakistanis and persians when confronting anglo-americans.

just not gonna happen

It is a ploy from America!! They want to divert the attention from Israel having a bomb. Now America will say, "Hey look Iran started the arms race in middle east and everybody will go nuclear unless we stop Iran". Very simple.

You better know about what is Wahabbi ideology and their violent views about Shias before blaming Americans or Israel.

Violent view against Shia??? I am just confused. There were no major war between Shia and Wahbi in the past. Thre are some communal level violence but not within Gulf.

Shia and sunni follow the same Quran (original). There is no different version of Qurans as far as I knnow.

Wahabbi ideology is the state ideology in Saudi Arabia. According to Wahabbi Ideology, Shias are infidels. Shias are treated as second class citizens in Saudi Arabia.
Plus even many Sunni Groups are critical of Wahabbism. Wahabbis considers Sufism as evil and idoltry. In India and many part of Islamic World many Muslim groups are fearful of increasing wahabbi influence cause more intolerance in the society. Last month a Muslim group in India urged people not to vote for Wahabbi oriented leaders in Uttar Pradesh Election.

Saudi Arabia does not have scientific, technological and industrial infrastructure necessary for developing ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons. Currently they do not even have a single zero watt reactor and no nuclear program whatsoever. Besides, US will never allow them to have nuclear weapons as it is the country from where most terrorists and their ideas in the world originate. Saudi Arabia itself is completely dependent on US and EU and can not abandon them. Saudis can not live under sanctions and "eat grass" (that is if any grass grows there) for developing such capabilities. Additionally Pakistan will never provide any nuke to Saudi Arabia, the same way Pakistan is not getting its oil for free from Saudis. Saudis Arabia never shared half of its oil with Pakistan, so why should Pakistan share its nuke with Saudis.

This is just US orchestration of their puppets in Saudi regime in order to scare Iran. The truth is that the max Saudis can do is to bring in US bases and house 100,000 American soldiers in their country as they have already done. Besides US due to Saudis importance to them and west will extend their nuclear umbrella over Saudi Arabia as they have done for Taiwan and South Korea. The idea that Saudis are going to get nukes is laughable at best.

Agreed with your post but one point is that Pakistan Nuke program did have funds from Saudis and Libya according to some sources so Pakistan might have a secret agreement in place.

Not all Arab societies and countries are alike. Saudi "kings" do not even represent all Saudis. How can you judge all Arabs by these "kings" words?

Those fundings were very small and long time ago. Pakistan has paid that numerous times by sending its soldiers to protect Saudi regime many times. Besides, Saudis have not only funded small time a nuclear program but also big time terror in Pakistan, so it is balanced out. If Saudis do not share their oil wealth with us 50-50% why should Pakistan share its nuclear arsenal with Saudis. It is out of question. The sources you refer to are jokes and Pakistan is a responsible sophisticated state and will never do such a thing. There is no benefit for Pakistan to side with Saudis against Iran at all. Since Iran has not invaded another country in the last 300 years, there will be no attack from Iran but the same can not be said about Saudis. In case of any attack by Saudi Arabia on Iran along with US and Israel, at most Pakistan will remain neutral or a small possibility that Pakistan might actually side with Iran, but there is no possibility for Pakistan to stand with Saudi Arabia with this one at all.

As I said, Saudi regime is in the American pack and will remain so and while in that pack, it will continue to see Iran as enemy and will continue to cooperate with US on security issues of the regime. US to protect petrodollar will also protect Saudi regime and extend its nuclear umbrella over Saudi regime and probably station 100,000 troops in that country in order to keep petrodollars recycling running by force. Saudi will pay for all the costs of the enmity they are sowing in the entire region by being American puppets. Pakistan can not afford to take losses both in this world and next by siding with Israeli intentions in this region.

Saudi "kings" do not have a problem when Americans with nukes invaded Iraq and committed all the atrocities, no problems when "Israel" with nukes continues to exist and oppress Palestinians, even carried out massive atrocities in Gaza in 2009, but has a problem when Iran (a fellow "Muslim" country) has not yet made a nuclear bomb.

nuthing for Saudi's to be worried about Pakistan will provide nuke's to KSA , against Iran ..

Western intelligence officials believe that Pakistan has pledged to provide nuclear weapons to Saudi Arabia in a Middle East crisis, but would Islamabad keep its end of the bargain

According to western intelligence sources (the meeting was under Chatham House rules so I am not allowed to be more specific) the Saudi monarchy paid for up to 60% of the Pakistani nuclear programme, and in return has the option to buy a small nuclear arsenal ('five to six warheads) off the shelf if things got tough in the neighbourhood

saudi kings represent their nation politically and politically they have also played a leading role in the arab league in its fawning of israel and u.s. and in attacking iran-syria and politically the saudi kings also stymied industrial growth of the kingdom and that of many of its neighbors. sure there are individuals who aren't of the same kind as their kings and don't approve of the long standing pro-american policy that reduces the average intelligence and work ethic of a saudi, but i am too illiberal to care about these individuals and anyone who refuses to be represented by his king, however fat, senile, and stupid, is too politically irrelevant. we cannot withhold political judgment of a political people, nation and state just because people aren't all alike and don't like their kings.
