Encouraging Swedish weapons is highly recommended . They will be made in Ikea and arrive in Saudi Land flat packed with assembly instructions . The Saudis will never manage to put them together .
I don't know about that Ray.. they have the largest and most successful oil company in the world and a huge and growing manufacturing sector.
Manufacturing jobs for Saudis have grown by 500,000 since 2007. http://www.politicalforum.com/curre...-manufacturing-grows-22-a.html#post1060983594 Saudi Aramco employs 85,000 Saudis.
You have potential Terrorists on the brain , as we say . Why don't you spend more time and money kicking out the actual ( not potential) terrorists that you are holding in your country ? The Russians , who still want you back in their cupboard ?
maybe ... but you have potential Terrorists at home (you one of them for sure), and a lot in your Russians a$$ think about it
It's inevitable that we have some , after our previous Gov't convinced themselves that we needed to support the looney Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan . But name me one major EU country that has none ? Much more significant , is our remarkable success in tracing , tracking preventing and catching them . Our counterterrorism groups are superb and our defence centres are at least the match of anywhere else in the world . The only times we were compromised was when a handful of radicals got under the radar by being "home grown" and with no traceable history of mixing with other malcontents . They are the hardest type of Terrorist to even spot , let alone catch --- the loners . I am afraid that I would stand out like a sore thumb if I joined . It seems a key quality of Terrorists is having the brains of a Guinea Pig . And when occasionally you do get some brainy people involved , they ruin everything by treating matters as a political statement , rather than conducting themselves as business people working efficiently to tightly defined objectives . So I think I will stick to my present role which is growing old disgracefully and upsetting the bigots and Racists .
