The Egyptian-Turkish alliance.. Cairo and Ankara are moving towards a new Middle East through the “KAAN” stealth aircraft project

We (KSA/Arabs) need nuclear weapons. Everything else is noise. As long as the Zionist entity is nuclear armed there will never be any parity and you will always be at their mercy in an all-out war.

That is why Israel is hellbent on preventing nuclear proliferation in the region because they know that this will be the end of their impunity. Not even the US would help them in this regard.

If we had better Arab leadership the Arab League would have long ago transformed into an EU like organization and openly stated the goal of nuclear proliferation and nuclear sharing among all member states if needed.

Yes, I am aware that there are strong rumors of KSA already being nuclear armed but that is not enough. A nuclear triad is needed. As well as a vibrant local nuclear energy sector completely independent from the outside.

FFS, tiny North Korea is pursuing this and close to achieving it. There are no excuses. Nukes is ancient tech as well.

You can keep on walking on the street of desire while staying under the Pakistani nuclear umbrella.

Ideally, as I wrote, KSA (Arabs as a whole) should not depend on outsiders in this regard and pursue nukes on their own as Pakistan did. Even if it would take many sacrifices. However having Pakistan as a partner and ally is the second best option in this regard.

In any case, the history of the region would have been much different had the region had nuclear proliferation decades ago. In particular from the Arab perspective (many past attempts in Iraq, Syria, Libya and even rumors of Egypt). For various reasons (main ones being Israel and the US/West) this was foiled.

However IMO in the future, we will likely see nuclear proliferation occurring across the board (globally) and AI will also change warfare and the world as we know it completely.

Luckily KSA is at the forefront (globally) when it comes to AI and investments in it.

But at the end of the day any talk of defeating Israel, liberating Palestine is a pipedream when your opponent (Israel) has a nuclear triad and you don't.

Imagine If Pakistan failed to develop nuclear weapons and if it had to face India without the nuclear security? It would likely have been really bleak.

KSA should be the lead Arab country to possess nuclear weapons as it already has the established rocket force.

I do not disagree with you, my friend, and I sincerely hope that this is already the case as numerous different sources (American, Iranian, Israeli) claim.

Not that I hope that KSA would ever use nuclear weapons or any other nation for that matter but we cannot deny that history has proven that two nuclear powers are unlikely to ever engage with each other in a direct military conflict. If they do they tend to be rather short-lived.

My theory, which I do not think is very controversial, is that Israel would not be behaving this bloodthirsty and erratic if neighboring Arab states had access to nuclear weapons or something as destructive.

It is pretty obvious. Same way that the US would likely never have invaded Iraq back in 2003 if Saddam had succeeded in acquiring nuclear weapons.

Another good and relevant example is the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons back in 1994 if I recall (not googled it). Later (20 years later) to seal their fate when it comes to their national territory.

There is not a single Islamic country in the world that would be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.
