Do read the whole thing:
"The day after Saudi King Salman signed his nuclear deal with Park, US
Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Riyadh to meet with him and
with the foreign ministers of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council –
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman."
"According
to news reports, Kerry offered the Arab leaders to place them under
the US nuclear umbrella to protect them from Iran’s nuclear weapons
program."
"There can be no doubt that in his conversations with
the South Korean leader, King Salman discussed what life is like under
an American security guarantee. And it is hard to see that he considers
it a good bargain."
"It is not merely that the US is deterred by
North Korea, and therefore is willing to humiliate and endanger South
Korea to avoid having to contend with Pyongyang. It is that US President
Barack Obama has destroyed the credibility of US security guarantees
by repeatedly failing to stand by them."
