A Layman's Guide to Obama's Nuclear Posture Review (click title to entry - thank you) Posted by Marc Ambinder
Don't worry. You don't have to read all 72 pages of the Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) to understand some of the finer points of Armagaddeon-gery.
Here's a guide to some of the key debates -- and key questions -- about President Obama, nuclear weapons, and terrorism. In other words, a layman's guide to understanding what the wonks are talking about?...
Current as of December 3, 1998
SIGNATORIES AND PARTIES TO THE TREATY ON (click here)
THE NON-PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS
(Note: Changes from Fact Sheet of January 23, 1997 indicated in bold type.)
The countries that are signatories to the Non-Proliferation Treaty should not be in the sites of USA missiles regardless of what the other nuclear nations decide. If the USA is going to advocate sincere peace, it needs to take the initiative.
From the years 2000-2008 there was unprecedented nuclear proliferation on this planet. Like what did that prove?
As far as I am concerned it was nothing but profit seeking through government treasuries with absolutely no realistic national strategy for security at all. It made no sense to advocate that level of nuclear exposure to Earth's people. It could never be deployed and it took monies away from peaceful pursuits for strong and viable economies. The more countries spend on military weapons the less they spend on their domestic agendas and an increase of quality of life of its people.
The complaints on the Right is that the sky is falling.
The complaints from the far Left is that the USA needs to go one more step further and promise there will never be a nuclear first strike. It is an admirable goal, but, it is grossly foolish to set such a policy unilaterally. However, if other nuclear nations decide to act in such a responsible nature, then a form of verificiation has to be established so that it is never an empty treaty.
