Saudi Arabia & 34-state military alliance to fight terro

[Lord Percy]

"Terrorism"

Saudi Arabia announces 34-state military alliance to fight terrorism.

What took them so long, and why did they only do it after Russia and the West joined in.

In the video:
Question - "Will this alliance be only directed at Daesh?"
Answer - "No. Any terrorist organisation that appears in front of us, we will take action to fight it."

WW3?

Don't expect it to be much benefit in terms of what people here would want done . Relatively moderate Iran isn't invited to the party. Nor is Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan .

Inb4 United States of Saudi.

Shit, probably going to get sued now.

Didn't they have some sort of 'Dry Run' to eradicate terrorism in a mosque a few Islamic months ago?

Like a James Bond theme.

Isn't a Saudi Anti-Terrorist Team pretty much the same as a Consensual Rape Squad?

Well, looks like Arabia is poised to go full snackbar-on-snackbar.

I wonder how many millions more fighting age male "refugees" we can expect from those peace loving nations.

Going by the amount of arms we've sold to Saudi, (amongst others), it will go on for some time

Saudi Military expenditure......$46.7 billion
Iran Military Expenditure........$10.2 billion

GDP per capita:-

Saudi Arabia.........$24,161
Iran.....................$5,315

The 9/11 conspiracy theorist in me (it was the Lizard People wot dun it) wonders if this is the Saudis not being best pleased about the prospect of a nuclear Iran.

There's a small possibility of a nuclear spat with Zion that will wreck the whole region, but also sour dates over the prospect of an actual peaceful energy program that will get the Iranians off of the oil-teat and leave them poised to become the big post-oil power in the region.

Apparently, it wouldn't be too difficult for Saudi to get hold of nuclear weapons.....Pakistan being the first port of call.....and they only have to lob them 35 miles over the Persian Gulf.

IMO, Pakistan is the weak link in the Mutualy Assured Destruction nuclear chain, Saudi - Iran War or not.
