If the world is serious about nuclear non-proliferation than it needs to show it. Great Britain and France have a good start on the problem and make no mistake it is a problem. The world is getting smaller and smaller everyday. In the year 2025 it is estimated there will be 7,936,741 people (click here) people on Earth. The USA will have the largest First World population (think global economic clout to all the local economies) only to be preceded in sheer number by India and China.
How civilized will the supposedly more civilized country, the USA, in the world appear in the year 2025? How Pro-Life is the Political Christian Right Wing if it can't even balance child birth with human longevity, quality of life and the peace needed to insure it?
What will this hideous global paradigm be called in the 22nd Century or the year 3000, should human beings survive their greed for power and money over the value of the sunrise, clean oceans, happy children, their futures and healthy food?
How can any program between Russia and the USA to reduce the nuclear stockpiles mean anything if it doesn't reach a number that is inconsequential to nuclear annihilation?
The demonstration by Russia today was serious. It was also correct for several reasons.
How is a country such as Syria suppose to believe it does not need nuclear capacity if Russia pretends to be a pacifist rather than demonstrative in their capacity to defend them in an alliance? Why should Mideast nations entertain being non-nuclear if their allies can't demonstrate they mean what they say. Because in the chasms of the minds of diplomats now exists a Russia bold enough to be understood at the diplomatic tables.
Russia drew a line today. It is an important line. It needs to be clear and understood while it is willing to pick up after the ill laid plans of the USA nuclear program for Iran and to sign treaties reducing weapons and limiting destruction, it is still one of the most powerful nations on Earth with capacity not to be toyed with.
Additionally, we have a real Right Wing war advocate running for the USA presidency. No, it isn't President Obama. Romney has sincerely disturbing ties to the Neocons of Israel, especially one linked to Las Vegas and its wealth. Mr. Romney has taken dangerous positions on his foreign nightmare of a trip earlier in his campaign. He wasn't even subtle about his affiliations, extremism of them and him or his loyalty to those extremes.
Russia and the rest of the world tolerated George W. Bush and Richard Cheney, they will not do the same with Romney or the Neocons he seeks to line his Defense Department. Russia will not back down from defending its borders or the new nations it now defends that were once a part of Georgia. They will not see thousands killed while the world watches and does nothing.
As of today, Russia is posed and China is absent from the dialogue of non-proliferation. We know where France and Great Britain stands in their encouraging move toward weapons reduction. Those reductions in nuclear arms, by the way, will have an effect on the attitudes of Russia and China. It will take on the definition of a new paradigm of cooperation.
But, the USA is lagging. It is all too labile in its political underpinnings regarding peace, the future of their children and how the world exists in the face of such hideous ideologues still within the scope of power of its nuclear capacity. In some ways, one has to realize the USA, in the wrong hands, is more dangerous than Pakistan in the hands of the Taliban. The Republican Party has morphed into something dangerous beyond what should ever be intended. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." "Trust, but, verify." Where has that gone? Reagan got results without firing a shot, Bush only instilled fear and escalation.
Nuclear weapons are not necessary. They are more damning a weapons system than any on Earth. They need to be removed from their potential.
Global greed instead of peace is a terrible thing. It is just not worth fighting for.
