The U.S. is currently working on a nuclear umbrella for Saudi Arabia. I see this as an interesting twist on European history. Saudia Arabia really needs nuclear protection now.
The Europeans spent more than five centuries spewing Jew hate while actually pursuing wars between Catholic and Protestant countries. Could there be an Islamic parallel?
I mean, Shia Iran is spewing Jew hate while the real target of their nuclear bombs may be a nearby Sunni target: Saudi Arabia? The parallel is based on the distracting focus of Iranian hate-speech directed at Israel, a very difficult target, while Iran only needs a few bombs ( probably available by March based on most published data) and a few fighter planes headed for Riyadh.
The image on the upper right is Riyadh sometime early next year.
