In otherwords, it is uncertain what they have. Interesting that a nuked up SA has rarely (if ever) been discussed with all that is going on in that region.

Don't think SA has nuclear weapons. In the region it's alleged that Iran, Syria and Israel have nukes, but I don't think any of them are "official". I guess the closest declared weapons would be in India and Pakistan?

Is it beyond the realm of possibility that we could have armed them with nukes?

I believe Israel has nukes, as well as Syria. Iran will soon.

I have little doubt that Israel is in possession of a nuke or three with American made technology.

I didn't think Syria had the nuke, but I could be wrong. But would seem that if they had it, they would have been used on Israel before now. If they did get the nukes, who gave it to them? Russia? Turkey?

My guess would be Russia (if they do have one) Turkey is a possibility.

As for the reason they would not use against Israel, they know the response would be swift from the US. I am sure other nations in the region would also urge them not to ensure the destruction of large parts of the area as well.

Naw SA doesnt have nukes, Israel has about 100-200

Nuclear Weapons Stockpile - Israel

and if Iran started to fire some missiles off, I am sure our B-1's at Diego Garcia are packing serious heat

Yeah, the CIA stated that Israel had nukes in 1974.

The scariest proposition is the DPRK with nukes.

Scarry than the Saudi Kingdom being overthrown by these radical Wahabi/Jihadi groups with access to SA's hypothetical nuke arsenal?
