Second Shadow Jimmy Boom Semtex

Weapons Of Peace
Welcome to Saudi Arabia. Land of desert and oil. Be good here or you're in trouble. Steal a handbag, lose a hand. Smuggle drugs and lose your head. Head chopping business is good. They're recruiting 8 new choppers. If you want to be one step above a savage, this job's for you. You'll be both feared and respected with your razor sharp sword and never out of work.
The Saudi's are bombing the fuck out of Yemen. Using weapons bought from the UK and USA. Top dollar warplanes dropping smart bombs. Hitting big ammo dumps and killing Houthi rebels. Besides thousands of civilian casualties, usual collateral damage. Many months of air raids, no end in sight. Will Iran be drawn in? Houthi rebel backers, smashing Iranian influence. For now.
It was a small news report: Saudi to buy Pakistan nukes. With no complaints or fanfare. Off the shelf bombs to face off Iran. Will it deter or spur Iran to build their own bomb? Why don't the Jews sell invisible nukes to Saudi? My enemy's enemy is my friend. Nuclear proliferation failed. Will they buy bombs, rockets or cruise missiles? What next for Saudi? Peacemaking?
