BREAKING-Saudi Arabia invades Bahrain

The Shiite hit the fan..

Yes! I think this is the begining of the end for the Saud dynasty. They are showing they have no issues with brute force. Tanks against unarmed protesters? Please. The US WILL intervene to keep the Saudis in power. Buy gold, buy silver, buy oil ETFs.

"Invasion" is a bit of a stretch now, isn't it.

However, it is telling that the saudis send equipment in support of the non-democratic government of bahrain...

I LOL'd when I saw this!

15:02 Saudi authorities detain Shi'ite cleric over sermon calling for reform

30 tanks on a cargo carrier is not an invasion. . .who knows who the tanks are even being delivered to?

don't forget that Mecca is in Saudi Arabia and it represents the center of the whole Muslim world. If it should come under a different rule, one that is perhaps biased towards some interpretation of Islam, world history, etc. things could quickly spiral out of control.

Lets wait and see...what happens...and how our politicians are going to spin this one....

The saudi dictatorship's time is running out

WHY would this be huge? We already know they are scared shitless...handing out cash even faster than Bernanke....

Saudi tanks are crewed by Saudis. The military of one country openly and forcefully inserting itself into another sovereign country is by definition, an invasion. So yes, it is an invasion. The gloves are off.

The Saudis have their own large population of poor, uneducated Shiites just like Bahrain. Both countrys are ruled by old men, Sunnis who lord it over their Shiite subjects. Both countries treat Shiites as roaches. The Shiites outnumber the Sunnis dramatically. Never in history has a minority been able to rule over a larger, different ethnic group of religion. Eventually, the masses have their say. Eventually, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia both will see violence due to this brute force.

They are just gassing them up,i here it's cheaper over there,ya know but you got to have their plus card.

Unless they were invited by the Bahrein rulers...which I suppose they were...

Ok, OP you're making more sense now...you know a lot about these countries...especially the sunni/shiite problem?...So your are saying this will explode?

Oooo Ohhhhhhh.....& understand the consequences of "ANY" upheaval & chaos in Saudi ARABIA....HOWABOUT 6 or 7 dollar a gal. gas (or more).....Bye Bye miss american pie...

Post of the day!

It will be fun to see what the west will do now that it denounced Gheddafi's use of force.
It will have no chance but to support uprisings in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
If the Saudi's fall I might start to believe in God again.

4 minutes. Not bad.

REALLY? Those of the Jewish faith have been ruling Christians for at least one hundred years, look how our society has changed, with talmudists in control, usuary, homosexuality, absolute abolishment of private property for the common man (do research, you don't own anything), femnazi's, envirotards.

Well, the MIC (Militairy Industrial Complex)&
Saudis are kind of 'joined at the hip'.
Oil. From great enabler to Achilles' heel.

Proxy wars no longer seem to cut it.
Nations are now burning oil fighting, to get at what's left
of the oil. (the relatively easy access oil.)

As I understand it, the US has reserves for 3 months
stateside, should oil from Saudi Arabia and Iraq become
unavailable. Think 'nuclear pollution'.
That would be the only thing that could cause this.
If the MIC calls dibs on it, and in this scenario
they would, not much else will function.
And only for a few months at that.

Biggest oil reserves in the world are;
1 Saudi Arabia. 'MIC land'.
2 Iraq. 'MIC land'.
3 Canada. Ally.
4 Iran. (!) On the MIC wish list. This is why. nothing else.
5 Kuwait. 'MIC land'.
6 Venezuela (!) See Iran. (!)
7 United Arab Emirates. 'MIC land'.
8 Russia. The first one on the list in charge of itself,
or no longer a MIC target. (way too much trouble).
They tried though..

See my point? Peak oil. the endgame.

9/11 = peak oil. War on terror, see list above = peak oil.
NWO/eugenics = peak oil. Carbon trading/global warming/'credit' crises = peak oil.

And why do governments do this? This desperate scramble for oil, they can't even tell you the truth anymore..

They have no alternative. No better plan, and no prospects
beyond the mad dash for what's left of the oil.
They have failed miserably. Claim dominion and executive
decision making, and then have no clue about anything longer then a 25 year span.

They simply are not good enough, in every sense of the word.
But still they claim ownership of everything.
Based on might makes right, based on 'you guessed it' oil.

Trouble ahead cap'n..

Protestors are mainly Shiites account for about 70% of the Bahraini population, but have long complained of discrimination and other abuses by the Sunni Khalifa dynasty that has ruled the tiny Gulf nation for more than two centuries.

First...do you not remember last September when almost 200 Shiites were arrested in Bahrain? Many of them had returned from Lebanon after training with Hizbollah there. Then almost a week ago a weapons cache was discovered that traced back to Lebanon. Now think reeeaaal hard about who backs Hizbollah. "Unarmed"? Hardly.
