    Why would Trump agree to the Saudi nuclear deal?

    Revelation of the Saudi deal comes as the Trump administration is trying to persuade Congress to fund a deeply unpopular war that it had no say in launching. Defense secretary Pete Hegseth says it has cost $37.5bn so far. That is about what it would cost for, say, a year’s rental assistance for 2.3 million low-income people, or to enable about 7 million people to maintain their health insurance.


    EVERYBODY KNOWS the answer to that question.  Just follow the $MONEY$ !! 🙄

    Chump knows at best he only has 2 more years to grift as much money as he can from the FSoA Taxpayer and other corrupt Dictators  he is pals with.  He'll make any deal that will in some way transfer $BILLIONS$ into his pocket before he leaves the WH.  He's jealous that so far Elon holds the record for most successful grifter of the FSoA Taxpayer and wants to catch him before leaving the Oval Office.

    Far as the Saudi Nukes go, I already mentioned how it effectively Torpedos any justification for not letting the Iranians have their own Nuke program.  You can kiss off Nuke Non-Proliferation, everybody and his brother is gonna want their own Nukes now.  As I've mentioned before also, there's nothing secret or technically that difficult about building a Fission bomb.  Anybody with a degree in Theoretical Physics from a decent University knows the principles and the engineering isn't very complex.  Main problems are getting enough Uranium and Heavy Water to do the enrichment without accidentally starting a chain reaction during the processing.

    Besides the Saudis and Iranians, folks currently without Nukes who could start building them who I'm sure have the technical wherewithal to do it right now are the Germans, Italians, Japanese, South Koreans, Brazilians, Argentinians, Egyptians, South Africans, all the Scandinavians and Baltics, Poland, Czechia, Australia and possibly Turkey.

    I also could easily see a non-state actor with good financing producing a Turnkey "Suitcase" Nuke Prefab where all you need to do is Add U-235 and it's Ready to Blow.  Not big enough to vaporize a whole city, just say lower Manhattan below Canal Street. lol.  Pick up the Suitcase for $1M from an International Arms Merchant and another $1M for the Uranium.  Or Plutonium, once somebody builds a Breeder reactor and wants to make extra money on the side.

    Anyhow, one can only hope this Deal Fuckery by Dimwit Don is the final nail in the coffin and the Repugnants get thoroughly DEMOLISHED in November and lose both Houses of CONgress by a wide margin.  Not counting on it, but one can only take a deep drag off the Hopium Bong.
