It's foretold in the bible. Stop trying to disappoint people.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Typical.
But will they sell them to me? No!
Background checks to buy nukes but not firearms.
America is weird!

The idea that Israel was 'installed' to nail down the middle east is a profoundly silly concept. If nailing down the ME is the goal, then Israel is exactly the sort of thing that you would not want to put on the board. Nailing down the ME would be a lot easier without Israel. Supporting a Jewish homeland
and nailing down the ME has been quite a tightrope walk.

This to me seems like a massive non sequitur. A quick Google tells me there is no international embargo on which countries can build nuke power stations. The Saudis couldn't build a pencil sharpener so if this proposal goes ahead the thing will likely be built by Canada, France or Japan and it will almost certainly be a standard issue water boiler not a breeder reactor of any sort.
What am I missing?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

It's a theocracy. There are people who like to describe it in contemporary terms as a theomonarchy. Very much like a medieval christian fiefdom, yes.
