Saudi Arabia is deeply concerned that the Iran nuclear deal will soon be back on the table, as the Biden administration seeks to harshly punish any country opposed to U.S. efforts for a questionable nuclear agreement that would empower Iran, and vastly enrich it and its numerous terrorist proxies.

- Saudi Arabia is deeply concerned… that the Iran agreement will soon be back on the table…. The Saudis quite correctly believe that that the new Iran deal, rather than stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons, would actually pave the way to nuclear weapons, in addition to giving Iran’s despotic regime up to a trillion dollars — if the mullahs would please just not use the nuclear weapons on the Biden administration’s watch.
- While the grisly murder of Osama bin Laden’s close friend Jamal Khashoggi was far from acceptable, the sad reality is that the Kingdom is no more guilty of unspeakable behavior than are Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, Turkey Venezuela, Qatar or a number of other nations that the Biden administration and the international community are cozying up to.
- Many onlookers believe that the Saudi move is a direct signal to Biden about Saudi Arabia’s concerns over the “stalled” but apparently not-quite-ended-yet nuclear deal with Iran.
- Although Biden supposedly will examine all aspects of the U.S.-Saudi relationship, he threatened the kingdom with “consequences” — reportedly by suspending arms sales — all because Saudi Arabia is trying to defend itself from being potentially obliterated by an openly hostile Iran.
- The U.S. seeks to harshly punish any country opposed to U.S. efforts for a questionable nuclear agreement that would empower Iran, and vastly enrich it and its numerous terrorist proxies, including the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Through them, Iran is already effectively in charge of four countries in addition to its own: Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
- If the U.S. really believes Russia is an acute threat, the U.S. should act as if it is and stop propping up Russia’s allies, such as Iran.
- The U.S. should be working with countries in the Middle East to support efforts against Russia and Iran’s regime.
- No wonder questions are being raised as to just how “compromised” Biden might actually be.
- The U.S. would do well to stop this foolish obsession with getting a new Iran nuclear deal. It is inconsistent with the rest of America’s values, foreign policy and national security interests. Send a clear message to Russia, Iran’s mullahs, Europe, the Middle East — and, most importantly, to Iranian and American citizens — that the Iran nuclear deal, finally, is dead.
The confusion and lack of clarity in the current administration’s foreign policies are growing ever more dangerous for US national security.
President Joe Biden’s recently released National Security Strategy labels Russia as an “acute” threat to U.S. national security. Yet the administration continues, with the support and encouragement of the EU, its futile attempt to restart the Iran nuclear deal, using Russia as its proxy negotiator. One can only wonder how the Biden administration believes the U.S. can negotiate this type of agreement using a nation we actually recognize and label an acute threat to work out the details with a nation—Iran—we label as a “persistent threat.”
Sebastien, is the Wh lawn large than Grammery Park?
The US wants to ruin the whole world and come out on top while sucking up the industrial production from Russia, China, and Europe back to the US (of course, the US government cannot just order the corporations to come to the US).
This involves:
1) creating a worldwide Great Depression (pandemic, separating Europe from the cheap Russian gas thus bankrupting its industries);
2) impoverishing the US population, so that the US citizens will take absolutely any job to survive, thus becoming competitive with the Chinese labor;
3) making it dangerous or too expensive for the corporations to stay where they are now because of the current (Ukraine) or possible (e.g., Taiwan) conflicts by provoking those conflicts, and the unacceptably high energy costs (e.g., the German companies moving to the US for cheaper oil and gas);
4) the Great Depression in the US was ended by WWII when the US hugely enriched itself and took over the Western Europe, so the PTB might try this again if and when they think the situation is ripe for it (I anticipate them reinstating the draft).
Wait, correction: There was a bill last year

Hi, Peloni. You said,
You gave me an opening here to get theological, wide enough to drive a LeTourneau earth mover through. Our enemy, as described in the book of Revelation, is:
[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
This describes the Devil, and also the earthly rulers whom the Devil empowers: They are NOT of one mind, and in fact they are continually at war with each other; but they carry out the plan of the beast that bears them — a beast that secretly intends only to steal and kill and destroy.
This is why I have repeatedly said it is foolish to take sides in this war: Russia, China, Biden, Zelenskyy, Soros, Schwab, etc. are ALL our enemies. Our only real friend is Hashem.
@Tanna
For my own views, such as they are, I do not believe the powers controlling the White House currently were actually intending a war with Russia or China. They only hope to see the nationalist leaders of both Russia and China fall from power, leaving the Globalists to move forward with their master plan, ie they are the masters making plans for the rest of us. Unfortunately, the tool by which they were to achieve this outcome was through the use of an economic war, which has failed to harm Russia as much as it has harmed those powers which launched their war of economic attrition against the Russian Federation. The consequence has been to see them try to tighten the screws in this war ever tighter, only to see the effect even less effective. The resulting frustration may actually lead to the wa which you reference, but I would suggest that this has not been the goal which was set by the reckless elites occupying the halls of power, ie the Administrative State, or the US would long ago have committed to such a war – recall that besides their unparalleled hatred of Trump, the destruction of these two nations is the only subject on which the Dems and Reps can actually agree.
The Administrative State, ie Deep State, is not of a single mind, and consequently acts with fits and stammers, as if some senile floor mat was making the calls, when in fact it is actually a pair of inept committees which have not entirely aligned world view outlooks. Think of one group being led by Victoria Nuland – rash, war like and stupid – and the other being led by Kissenger – unrealistic, devious and surreptitious. So think Bush vs Obama, or the the DOD and MIC vs the State Dept and the CIA. The latter group thinks they know everything while actually knowing nothing, and the former group doesn’t think at all, they just act on their first impulse and the second and the… These are the powers steering the ship of state in the US, and the struggle between them over who gets to man the wheel is why it seems as if the doddering old pervert with cue car instructions and not a clue is actually calling the shots. Just my own views of course.
@Michael
You mistook my comment to mean something else, I believe. I am suggesting that China Joe is not “turning on its former master, Xi Jinping” nor vise a versa, but that this ‘turning’ a few days prior to the election is for an electoral effect. As this pivotal election is looking quite bleak for China Joe’s party, the Americans with their largely anti-CCP perspective would be quite receptive, to some point, of this pivot by the CCP hand sock in the White House. Of course, it is just an opinion, so we will see.
Hi, Peloni
To frame it as realistically as possible, it is the “theatrics” of an intruder greeting you at the door with a gun pointed at you. Such theatrics usually have a bad outcome.
Unless Lord Austen and his Russian counterpart actually hatched this propaganda plan together, they are playing MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) with each other; and at any rate, whether there was such agreement or not, the Chinese would be suspicious of both of the other parties and have their hands on two hair triggers.
Candid interviews with Mikhail Gorbachev about the Reykjavik summit have revealed that both he and Reagan fully had expected the other party to be planning a first strike. Today, I believe the same is true; only this time, THREE major powers are at play; and China’s “pull out all stops” rush to MAD levels are sure to have Putin and Biden both sleeping with the nuclear codes in bed with them.
Of course, there are six other countries with nuclear stockpiles, at least one of which (North Korea) in the hands of a fully blown, bat-crap crazy psychopath. All of these countries have the capabililty of anonymously launching nuclear-tipped missiles from launchers concealed on cargo ships — meaning that the reciipients of these packages would have no way of knowing who the perpetrator is. (One of those small nuclear powers, of course, is Israel).
I take all of this quite seriously. Many of the key players have agendas that one may have considered insane at one time; but Putin’s maneuvers in Georgia, Ukraine and the Arctic, and Xi’s moves in the Taiwan Straits, along with Kim’s agreement-breaking testing program, show that everyone involved is actively preparing for Zechariah 14:
[12] And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
I’m sure the American military is quite capable. But for the life of me I cannot figure out why Biden wants to start a war and take on both Russia and China. Surely those “ham sandwich’s” (quoting Peloni) in D.C. do not think we can win this one and when the shooting starts and then the U.S. starts the draft, Mexico and Canada will explode with young draft dodgers.
@Michael
Or it is all just for theatrics, timed just before the election…Let’s see what happens after the election, but the timing here plays very well for the Dems, which leads me to think this is bogus, but time will tell the truth.
New development:
There is a lot happening in US foreign policy these coming weeks: New governments in Italy, UK, China, Israel and also the US. These may well be the most critical weeks in world history, since WWII — and that includes the Hiroshima bomb. Statring with relatively minor items,
Those two lines pretty much guarantee that yet another British government will fall in the coming months. Going on to China,
Couple that with this:
So, what’s new here? The Biden Administration, long held captive by Hunter, is turning on its former master, Xi Jinping; and Xi is starting to turn on Biden.
In other news, of course, Putin is threatening nuclear war, and he is serious this time.
