30 April 2014: Yesterday, the first time ever, Saudi Arabia openly exhibited two of its several dozen Chinese-made Dong Feng-3 (DF-3) multiple warhead (50-100kT) nuclear missiles, received in 1987, in a massive military parade at the northeastern military base in Hafr al-Batin.
This base is well-known to many of 1991's Operation Desert Storm veterans as King Khalid Military City (KKMC); it is the only part of Saudi Arabia most got to see prior to General Norman Schwarzkopf's "Hail Mary" tactical maneuver along the Saudi-Kuwait-Iraq border region to the northwest. KKMC was the pivot point for all coalition forces during that action which annihilated Saddam Hussein's forces that had overrun the State of Kuwait as Iraq's "19th Province."
Also included in this parade were support vehicles not associated with the DF-3 IRBMs, but rather with Saudi Arabia's upgraded nuclear deterrent force of the far more accurate Chinese-made single-warhead DF-21 MRBMs. The parade served as firm notice to the U.S. Obama Administration, as well as to the Iranian Ayatollah's regime, that Saudi Arabia has embarked upon a fully independent course of action with respect to defending itself and its Gulf Cooperation Council Allies against the continually expanding Iranian nuclear weapons program.
In attendance at the parade as Saudi Crown Prince Salman's royal and distinguished guests were King Hamad of Bahrain, Sheikh Muhammad bin Zayed, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan's military Chief-of-Staff General Raheel Sharif, who notably sat next to Saudi Crown Prince Mitab, King Abdullah's senior son and heir. Pakistan is the supplier of nuclear warheads for Saudi Arabia's arsenal of DF-3 and DF-21 Intermediate and Medium Range Ballistic Missiles.
Sourcing of this for this open source intelligence (OSINT) is from a Washington Institute "Policy Alert" by Simon Henderson, published 29 April 2014, and several Eschatology Today reports of the past two years. A 'Policy Alert' will appear when a central theme of a Presidential Administration's inept foreign policy has been dealt a death blow by a sovereign foreign government which refuses to abide by it any longer.
Also of note is the fact that while the Saudi military exercise was occurring, and within 48 hours prior to the Saudi revealing of their nuclear delivery vehicles, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared the Iranian threat to be the same as the Nazi threat posed to Jews 75 years ago. One need not think too hard or too long to realize that had the Jews possessed the means to end the European Nazi threat prior to the start of the Holocaust they most certainly would have done so with extreme prejudice. Once again we are reminded that in the complete absence of a determined and consistent American leadership a coalition of apparent enemies stands foursquare against the growing greater threat posed by an Iranian nuclear menace.
We would do well to be prepared for the sudden eruption of unrestrained warfare in the Middle East; warfare that will alter the global paradigm in ways that few are currently capable of comprehending.
