  Saudi Arabia has an alliance with Pakistan, including using nuclear weapons as a response in Saudi Arabia’s defense.

  If Israel attacks Saudi Arabia, Pakistan responds. Bagram airport is only a couple hundred miles from the Pakistan border and an excellent place for the US to intercept any response from Pakistan headed towards Israel.

    i wonder if china will get involved indirectly, since china and pakistan also are friends, and helped developed thier nukes.

  It’s a pretty good place to launch planes and stuff to keep an eye on China.
