Putin Orders Massive Strike Against Saudi Arabia If West Attacks Syria.....

Actually, you have no way of knowing whether they were state sponsored.
That doesn't mean they were. Whoever makes the claim that al-Qaeda is Saudi-sponsored has to prove it first.
What we do know is that 19 hijackers attacked us on 9/11, 15 of them were Saudi nationals and we attacked A-Stan. Now just imagine if 19 hijackers attacked Saudi Arabia in similar fashion, 15 of the hijackers were Americans and Saudi Arabia responded by attacking Bolivia.

Consider context. The Taliban regime was openly allied with al-Qaeda and hosted advanced level terrorist training camps within Afghanistan. Saudi Arabia did no such thing. If the United States immediately showed sympathy for Saudi Arabia, and if Bolivia was the only supporter of the terrorists at the time, then your analogy would work.

You'll get no argument from me that Saudi Wahhabist ideology doesn't spread terrorism, but I have no evidence to believe that the government has any connection with al-Qaeda.
 
The US has been working on the bunker busters like crazy for some time.

They have to. The special concrete Iran has is exceedingly durable to explosives and high velocity impacts. It's interesting how something as mundane as concrete may be the lynchpin to Iran's nuclear weapons program survival.
 
I'm putting my money on the guy that doesn't wear mom jeans

So you're betting on the guy who brings drugged big cats to take pictures with, domesticated horses pretend to be wild, and pre-placed underwater ship wrecks as discoveries?

That's no better.
 
The situation wouldn't look like is does today if a real Conservative ahd been in office these last five years, you don't have to believe that but it a fact. So as the de facto leader of the EU what would your countries' position be when the shooting started? Prolly kick back like the ChiComs and laugh all the to the Deutsche Bundesbank?

And what would they do differently? Realistically, how would they get the money for their plans?

So they've been working on a 30,000 lb bunker buster with I think over 5000 lbs of explosives.

"Last year a spokesman for the then-prime minister admitted that Putin's discovery of two sixth century Greek urns whilst scuba diving was faked."

Vladimir Putin, Russian President, 'Faked Publicity Stunts' Says Journalist Masha Gessen

"But now, four years later, environmentalists and bloggers are presenting evidence that the tiger Putin shot was no wild tiger at all – and that the animal died as a result of the stunt."

Apparently the geese were domesticated and trained to follow.

It's all staged.

Well, I didn't know these things. Thanks.
 
Hmmm. How are they planning on delivering that through Iran's defense network?

Anywho:

Bunker-busting: Smart concrete | The Economist

Frankly I think there is something about these latest hypersonic aircraft experiments that are relatable to this. There are various ways of delivering kinetic energy, and speed gives you a huge advantage in that area. A hypersonic air vehicle would be hard to stop too.
 
This is a more "legitimate" source, which does validate the OP, but doesn't dwell on the Saudi's "stick", but rather on the "carrot".

Saudis offer Russia secret oil deal if it drops Syria - Telegraph

...Prince Bandar, head of Saudi intelligence, allegedly confronted the Kremlin with a mix of inducements and threats in a bid to break the deadlock over Syria. “Let us examine how to put together a unified Russian-Saudi strategy on the subject of oil. The aim is to agree on the price of oil and production quantities that keep the price stable in global oil markets,” he said at the four-hour meeting with Mr Putin. They met at Mr Putin’s dacha outside Moscow three weeks ago.
“We understand Russia’s great interest in the oil and gas in the Mediterranean from Israel to Cyprus. And we understand the importance of the Russian gas pipeline to Europe. We are not interested in competing with that. We can cooperate in this area,” he said, purporting to speak with the full backing of the US. <snip>

...The talks appear to offer an alliance between the OPEC cartel and Russia, which together produce over 40m barrels a day of oil, 45pc of global output. Such a move would alter the strategic landscape.

This article also details the verbatim threats issued in the OP.

I've read the article twice, and I don't know if the Saudis are acting for or against USA interests in the region. Either way, I don't like where this is going. This could lead to global conflict on a massive, and perhaps irreversible, scale. :(
 
Not like you could muster up even on your best day. :roll:

You're right. I could never copy/paste as many clippings from crappy news articles as you.

Nor any good ones from anyone who knows what the real scoop is.....nor could you ever get the whole story. But that's not surprising with what I have noticed.

I know with the slowness of the internet and all and how that plays in. But do try and not take 10 mins to think of something. :roll:
 
scoops? Now I wanna go to Baskin Robbins or Cold Stone Creamery

No nation in the middle east can consider America a loyal friend with Obama as President.

Which Middle East nation can America consider a loyal friend?
 
I know...whenever it is reported that I am being threatened with a military strike, the first thing I do is react with "lets make an arms deal!!"

It makes perfect sense on so many levels!


I think a trade deal in this particular context would be like a bribe. Just like a lobbyist's payday to a Congressman in the USA. Makes perfect sense to me. The Saudis are some of the scum supporting the terrorists in Syria. So, I would assume they are as responsible as their terrorist lackeys for the chemical weapon use in Syria. Somebody gonna have to smite 'em for crossing Obamy's line.
