Should Saudi Arabia be allowed to have nuclear weapons?

[World Defense]

Since the P5+1 have been so fixable with Iran regarding its nuclear ambition, countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE and Egypt have become worried. Being from that part of the world I can clearly understand the risk of nuclear radiation. I don't deny the right of having nuclear program for civi use however, judging by Iran's foreign policy and its meddling and endless interference in the neighboring countries raises a question mark of Iran's nuclear ambition. We all know how Iran funds and arms Shia militias in Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen. Not only that but standing along side the child murderer Assad. It also tries to stir trouble countries that have Shia population like Bahrain for example. If Iran managed to escape from being under the scope of the international community and went on with its nuclear program, does that justify to Saudi Arabia going after nuclear weapons in a tit for tat move? To counter Iran in another word.

Please be constructive in your replies.<br /><br />-- 18 Mar 2015, 22:34 --<br /><br />No one can sanction Saudi Arabia after all. The World economy will crumble if sanctions were to imposed on Saudi Arabia. The question should be: If Iran gets it hands on nuclear weapons, would that give Saudi Arabia a legitimate reason to follow suit?

No one should have these weapons, let alone small countries...Russia could probably raid them in a few hours, get the weapons, and get out. I mean really. lol

We all know the last time that we used these weapons, and if they seriously want that to happen again then go for it, however I highly doubt the bigger nations are going to let them even launch them, because if they do Saudi Arabia will no longer be a nation, but a pile of dirt with tons of burned and evaporated bodies. Why get nuclear weapons when you cannot use them?

Makes no sense to me really, I mean what are they going to do, threaten us with them? Join ISIS and North Korea.

I don't really think it is our right to decide who has them and who doesn't.

The P5+1 failed so far to come to an agreement with Iran. What are they going to do if Iran gives them middle finger? Nada. The US suffered in Iraq and Afghanistan and won't go for war with Iran. The european nations are not interested in the first place whether Iran gets its hand on nukes or not for all they care. If it wasn't for the US pressuring the EU they wouldn't have joined the negotiation. But for Saudi Arabia its a different game as Iran is geographically by their doors. Iran without nukes is roaming freely in the region funding terrorists here in there. What will it do if the mullah managed to make missiles/platforms that are nuclear capable.

WMD that were never found in Iraq was the reason behind the US invading it. It will expose the hypocrisy if the US if it decided to allow Iran to have one.

I don't know what you mean by '' Makes no sense to me really, I mean what are they going to do, threaten us with them? Join ISIS and North Korea.'' If you are referring to Iran then Iran main aim is toward Saudi Arabia. But if you are referring to Saudi Arabia then rest assured if the saudis have nukes they are no going to threaten anyone and that has been the case since its creation.

Now for your last point, no one will be able to stop Saudi Arabia from launching nukes in retaliation for nuclear attack. War on Saudi Arabia is war on Islam and that will drag all muslim countries to join the fight. Great, lets everybody nukes everybody so our planet earth can be at peace.<br /><br />-- 20 Mar 2015, 03:57 --<br /><br />

Its everyone's right to stop countries with aggressive tendency not to have weapons of mass destruction. It is a violation to the UN laws and conventions. If that was not the case they everyone would have built nukes already.

Um. No country including the US should have a right to Nuclear Weaponry. I don't think anyone should have nuclear weapons. Reason being...nuclear weapons are toxic, its not good for us or the Earth seeing as Radiation destroys and poisons everything.

Look at what is going on with Chernobyl. They had a meltdown almost 30 years ago.... and the fallout is still there. Radiation doesn't dissipate. It stays. The fallout is still going on for the next 20-30,000 + years according to documentaries and other studies stated by scientists.

So I think all nukes need to be disposed. Its not good. I don't see why people think they should have access to them. Even North Korea and Iran have no business experimenting with them.
