The corrupt regime of Saudi Arabia has been shopping for nuclear technology, ostensibly to diversify its domestic energy sources by 2030. The oil-reliant feudal monarchy also has its eye on the nuclear potential of Iran as its most important adversary, and therefore will be tempted to use commercial nuclear technology in a bid to attain nuclear power status in the next 10 years.
The Trump regime is aggressively marketing our nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, and has infamously disregarded the concerns of the Departments of Energy, State, and Commerce over the Saudis acquiring it. More disturbing is the involvement of several U.S. generals, including felonious liar and Russian asset Michael Flynn looking to turn a buck, and of security risk and Trump son-in-law Jared "Mr. Ivanka Trump" Kushner. Kushner, who has been acting as a shield for brutal Crown Prince Mohammed "Bone Saw" bin Salman, has recently visited Riyadh ostensibly regarding his Middle East "peace" plan, but it's unlikely that a potential, large contract for nuclear technology wouldn't have come up. Saudi Arabia isn't committed to contracting with U.S. companies; on the contrary, they're looking to countries that would part with nuclear technology without the constraints and regulations the U.S. would impose:
“Saudi Arabia has not been willing to meet some additional requirements that the U.S. wants in the [Atomic Energy Act's governing] 123 agreement such as an additional protocol that gives the International Atomic Energy Agency wider access to undeclared sites within the country,” [Arms Control Assn. Executive Director Daryl] Kimball said. “They are also resisting any kind of commitment not to pursue uranium enrichment or plutonium processing technology.” (our emphasis)That last sentence is deeply concerning, and demonstrates that the Saudis' hidden agenda could be to use the nuclear technology to create weapons-grade material. Fifteen of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi nationals, and a significant number of al Qaeda and ISIS members come from Saudi Arabia. Now imagine Saudi Arabia as a nuclear nation, especially if the current regime -- as bad as it is -- were toppled by members of one of these groups. It would make the Iranian threat look mild in comparison.
