Saudi analyst claim Saudis have nuclear weapon

[Razor]

Three reasons:

1. Ascendancy of communist China on the world stage
2. Revival of Russian power
3. Decline of American power

America is practically bankrupt. You and me may wish it away but it has very grave consequences.

I said arenas not reasons.
As in the primary hot spots. Thanks.

Looks like a who blinks first posturing scenario with nukes on the sides.

The worry is Russia has already " demostrated " the use of weapons in Syria with conventional war heads which could very well be coupled with nuclear warheds.
Thats a fair stage of escalation.

Limited Nuclear War Within 18 days as Saudis (and Friends) mass 350,000 troops, 20,000 Tanks, 2,450 Planes, 460 Helicopters for Syria Invasion

I can tell you India is not safe. Unfortunately Indians are sleeping. The responsible people in India have found their little castles where they are sleeping peacefully.

There is no action on critical stuff.

 

[garg_bharat]

Only South america or some places in Canada are safe, comparatively. Most of the globe will be touched by war.

India’s share of Middle Eastern oil imports declines

India to increase oil imports from Africa, cut dependence on Middle East
22 Jan 2016

India is looking at raising crude oil imports from Africa as part of efforts to diversify sourcing of energy and reducing dependence on the Middle East, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Thursday.

India imports nearly 80% of its oil needs. Nearly two-third of this volume traditionally was supplied by exporters in the Middle-East led by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait. This dependence over time has been brought down.


The country imported 99.36 million tonnes of crude oil in April-September this fiscal, 57% of which came from the Middle-East region.

"We imported 32 million tonnes of crude in 2014 from Africa, including 3 million tonnes from North Africa and 29 million tonnes from West Africa, mainly from Nigeria and Angola. This constitutes approximately 16% of our consumption. This is going to increase in the coming years," Pradhan said.

Speaking at the inaugural session of the 4th India-Africa Hydrocarbons Conference, he said over the past two decades, the African hydrocarbon sector has been expanding rapidly as also the interests of Indian oil companies in the continent.

"As a matter of policy, the present Indian government is keen to move towards a geographically diversified energy basket. This has resulted in India's greater focus on Africa as a vital region for sourcing petroleum products in coming years," he said.

Crude import from Africa has played an important role in India's energy security.

Of the 99.36 million tonnes of crude oil India imported in April-September this fiscal, Africa supplied a third of it while South America accounted for a little less than 16%. At 11.59 million tonnes, Nigeria is the third largest supplier of crude oil to India in April-September, behind Saudi Arabia (19.56 million tonnes) and Iraq (17.01 million tonnes).

Pradhan said India's scarcity of domestic energy resources can be offset by Africa's surplus energy reserves - which accounts for about 15% of current proved accessible global oil reserves.


"Over the past two decades, the African hydrocarbon sector has seen rapid growth. The new discoveries in Africa have seen oil reserves growth by over 100% and gas reserves growth by over 55%. We believe that this will greatly improve Africa's position as an exporter of not only oil but also gas," he said.

India has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world with over 7% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, he said, adding that the country's energy consumption has been constantly increasing.

The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of Indian primary energy consumption in the last 15 years has been about 7.3% as compared to a global CAGR of 3%. "I expect energy demand to go up further," he said.

Pradhan said as per the International Energy Agency's (IEA) World Energy Outlook 2015, India will contribute around 25% of the growth in global energy demand. It will thus be the single largest contributor to energy growth globally. Indian upstream companies have been active in Africa's hydrocarbon sector.

"In Mozambique, Sudan and South Sudan, Indian companies have a major presence in exploration and production segments with total investments of nearly $7-8 billion (nearly Rs 47,516-54,304 crore) now," he said. "Indian companies also hold an interest in key oil and gas projects in Gabon, Libya and Egypt."


"We are confident that India, apart from being an attractive market for crude oil and gas, will be an able partner for African nations across the industry value chain," he said.

Indian companies are already providing comprehensive Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services to the hydrocarbon sector in Africa. Presently, they are working in Algeria, Nigeria, Libya, Sudan and Ghana. Pradhan had said during the India-Africa Forum Summit in October last year, Prime Minister had announced 50,000 scholarships for African students and research scholars.

India has also offered a concessional credit of $10 billion (nearly Rs 67,880 crore) over next five years for African countries. "We have good scope to tap into this line of credit for oil and gas projects in Africa. I call upon public and private sector both in India and Africa to identify viable projects, which can be financed and pursued through this line of credit," he said.

No areas are safe from this coming war. Its effects will be felt everywhere. India is not safe either.

I think we will see utter destruction in the middle east and north Africa. Israel is not safe.

Earth is not safe!!!

It is not only about crude import, it is about preparing for war. India needs to prepare its population. Major wars require massive surge in military manpower.

Also civilian industries need to be prepared for supplying the military.

Exactly. Agreed, hundred times over.
The first type of preparation which is most important, above everything and most easily achievable is mental preparation.
At first, people must be made to understand what is coming, who is going to bring it, what our responses would be. Also, what are the likely scenes a common man will see when this war is begun.

Also, seeing the physique of people in rural India especially Hindi belt and some parts of South, it does not inspire much confidence. Whatever is coming is going to need a massive and unprecedented mobilisation of men. We would be needing capable men, physically and mentally being able to throttle the life out of the enemy. But we are many miles behind from that milestone, am afraid.

 

[garg_bharat]

I think they need to massively increase intake in officer corp right now. Relax the age and physical standards somewhat.

It takes more time to prepare officers.

 

[garg_bharat]

There are lots of undergraduates who want to join the forces. India should take a target of 10000 officers for a start. Forget promotion aspects etc. Nobody should worry about promotion and salary at such critical time.

Be certain that india is in their cross hairs.

And do not trust uncle Sam.

 

[garg_bharat]

The first thing we shall need is young officers. We can transfer jawans from paramilitary but who will lead?

 

[Sakal Gharelu Ustad]

I do not think there will be overt wars any time soon. What we will see is covert war in cold war style.

Then there would be guinea pig countries like Syria which will face the heat of such wars. Sadly, India will be engulfed in this war--both internally like JNU incident showed as well as in the eastern demographically critical areas of NE and WB as well as Kashmir.

Saudi nukes have the blessings of USA.

Time to stop pretending Saudi Arabia doesn’t have nuclear weapons

Unfortunately not true. The war is engulfing more and more nations and india is very much a target.

 

[garg_bharat]

India cannot hide behind nukes. A general war involving india is very likely.

Read the sunni Muslim propaganda. Isis is Saudi creation. Isis is Saudi way of stealth war on other nations. If anybody thinks isis came out of nowhere and suddenly occupied half of Iraq and half of Syria, he is daydreaming.

The great superpower of USA is unable to eradicate isis. Why? Russians have just shown in Syria that isis is more hot air than real thing. Either USA is colluding with isis or it is just a theatre for fooling other people.

ISIS is just new name. Muslims have used one or the other organization in the past to achieve similar objectives. With the spread of SM, ISIS is just getting more eyeballs. Don't think it is happening for the first time.

There are theatres like Ukraine and Syria. Don't expect US-Russia will go at each other's throat directly any time in near future. It is war through proxies.

 

[garg_bharat]

It is not a war through proxies.
It is direct war.
Ukraine is also direct war where Russian soldiers are at the front.

Ohh yes..it is a direct war- just because Ruskies don't have any proxies!!
