Hi Friends,
Here's the declaration of independence from the US nuclear umbrella. Remember,
we have already ID'd Saudi Arabia as Babylon and the capital of the One World
Empire. I expect to see more from the AC very soon.
Agape,

Saudis parade nuclear missiles for the first time in defiance of US-Iranian nuclear accord
DF-3 nuclear missiles at Saudi military
parade
Saudi
Arabia became the first Middle East nation to publicly exhibit its
nuclear-capable missiles. The long-range, liquid propellant DF-3
ballistic missile (NATO designated CSS-2), purchased from China 27 years
ago, was displayed for the first time at a Saudi military parade
Tuesday, April 29, in the eastern military town of Hafar Al-Batin, at
the junction of the Saudi-Kuwaiti-Iraqi borders.
The
DF-3 has a range of 2,650 km and carries a payload of 2,150 kg. It is
equipped with a single nuclear warhead with a 1-3 MT yield.
Watched
by a wide array of Saudi defense and military dignitaries, headed by
Crown Prince and Deputy Prime Minister Salman bin Abdulaziz, the
parade marked the end of the large-scale “Abdullah’s Sword” military
war game.
Conspicuous
on the saluting stand was the Pakistani Chief of Staff Gen. Raheel
Sharif alongside eminent visitors, including King Hamad of Bahrain and
Sheikh Muhammad bin Zayed, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi.
DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources report the event was deliberately loaded with highly-significant messages, the foremost of which was that the Middle East is in the throes of a nuclear arms race in the wake of the Iranian program.

1.
The oil kingdom was saying loud and clear that it has obtained nuclear
missiles and is ready to use them in the event of an armed conflict with
Iran.
2. The
message for Washington was that Riyadh adheres to its adamant
objections to the comprehensive accord for resolving the Iranian nuclear
question which is racing toward its finale with the six world powers
led by the US. The Saudis share Israel’s conviction that this pact - far
from dismantling Iran’s nuclear capacity - will seal the Islamic
Republic's elevation to the status of pre-nuclear power. The result will
be a Middle East war in which the Saudis will take part.
3. The participation of the nuclear DF-3 missiles in the “Abdullah’s Sword” exercise signified Riyadh’s estimate that the coming conflict will see the use of nuclear weapons.
4. By showing off their ageing Chinese missiles, the Saudis intimated that they had acquired the more advanced generation of this weapon, which they are keeping under wraps. DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources report that in recent visits to Beijing, high-ranking Saudi officials negotiated the purchase of Dong-Feng 21 (DF-21), whose range is shorter, 1,700 km, but more precise and effective in view of its terminal radar guidance system. The West has no information about when the new Chinese missiles were delivered to Saudi Arabia.
5. The presence of the top Pakistani soldier at the parade of military and nuclear hardware was meant as corroboration of Islamabad’s active role as the source of the Saudi nuclear arsenal.
6. The Saudis no longer rely on the American nuclear umbrella. They are developing their own nuclear strike force with the help of China and Pakistan.
