Let’s hope no-one’s nephew goes riding around in an open-roofed car.
Oooh that’s… a fascinating development.
I didn’t have “possible nuclear exchange in the Middle East” on my bingo card for this year 😐
Edit: and yeah, that’d probably quickly spiral out of control into WW3. Maybe the Star Trek timeline is actually gonna pan out…? Sucks that we have to live through the horrifying part :(
Really? I had it on mine right after Israel and the US attacked Iran earlier this year.
Middle east? It’s more likely India and Pakistan fight.
Not really. With this defense pact, if Israel gets wild and decides to attack Saudi Arabia for some reason, Pakistan would go in on SA’s side… which would probably trigger all of Israel’s neighbors to attack Israel… which would probably trigger Israel to start nuking its neighbors… which would very plausibly include SA… which would trigger Pakistan to nuke Israel. And then you have WW3, because things would absolutely spiral from there.
There is a 0% chance Pakistan launches a nuclear missle to their west. India will launch their full aresenal yhe moment they detect a missle launch from Pakistan
Pretty sure Pakistan has more ways to deliver than just MRBMs. And toss-bombing is a thing.
OK? There’s no reason to believe this will happen soon whereas Pakistan and India have actively fought for decades.
Also why do you think Saudi Arabia is neighbors with Israel? Last I checked they have no shared border.
Who’s to say Saudis won’t develop their own nuclear weapons? This brings them a step closer.
this is a good thing. every nation that wants it should have and share a nuclear program. from weapons to electricity to cancer treatment.
I agree. Yet these defense pacts against a specific ‘enemy’ usually leads to a spiral of conflicts. We want LESS layers of emnity in the middle east. Not more.
Israel is comiting the final solution in gaza then they will take all palestine to finally start the plan for greater israel which some extreme visionaries include part of saudi. If you don’t want more problem in the region you should keep cslling westetn countries to stop isrsel right now
sure but we have to be ok with pacts even if our propaganda and agitation have “sold” us that those are the bad guys. they’re likely no more bad than our “side” and progress like this is safer than not. look at nato keeping russia at bay?
Defense blocs are a different matter. Look on a map where NATO members are vs Russia and compare where KSA and Pakistan are compared to Israel.
Not saying the Middle East shouldn’t show solidarity but it’s a mesh of complex relations and this arbitrary pact just adds to that mess.
is this not a defense bloc? maybe im confused because i thought it said attacks on one is attacks on all, etc.
No no when we do it it’s a defense block to protect Freedom loving people when they do it it’s a defense pack that’s designed to spiral into war. Big difference.
