On Friday Obama and the Japanese Prime Minister met to discuss a plan for global denuclearization. The statement was called the US – Japan joint initiative for a nuclear free world. The first step in this plan is to take action and develop key treaties which support arms reduction. These treaties will be enacted and they will continually call for less and less nuclear weapons. However I see one major problem in this equation – what will happen when Obama is out of office. The truth is that Obama has one of the worst » Read More

Yesterday I discussed how Obama has been improving ties with Russia as part of his over arching plan to rid the world of nuclear weapons. Interestingly, the plan to get rid of the nukes is coming from the superpower with the most nuclear weapons and facilities. I think that this is a great plan but the only way for it to work is if something else can become the primary bargaining chip. Countries can’t muscle each other any more if we get rid of nuclear weapons. This means that economic pressures will be the weapons of choice and the means » Read More

The race is on to develop and sign a new nuclear treaty between Russia and the United States. The START or Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty is set to expire next month and is currently without a signed successor. The treaty was beneficial for the US and Russia as it ordained that both parties would not utilize nuclear weapons. A treaty of this accord is vital to ensure that Nuclear weapons are not utilized and more importantly that clear terms for the weapons are spelled out and adhered to. Obviously it is unlikely that » Read More

The US prides itself on our humanitarian efforts with regard to global issues and war. However we don’t have a perfect rap sheet with civilian casualties. I think that it comes to a point where an army, air force, ect could never get much done if no civilian casualties were acceptable. Look at the current battles in the Middle East. There were several times where a group of militants and Taliban member were killed along with a few innocent bystanders. One time several months ago we bombed an area which had insurgents hiding. After the bombing we found that about » Read More

Should the United States or anyone else be trusted with nuclear weapons? Lets face it, as we look at history we can see that man is basically evil. Throughout history man has never failed to attack his neighbor in search of more power. This leads me to believe that it is a scary concept that so many countries have nuclear weapons. There is however a treaty in place between these countries which states that none of them will use the nuclear weapons. However a treaty is only good if members abide by that treaty. I am not fearful for any » Read More

So I have a question for you. Can the United States be trusted with atomic weapons? I have heard this argument before many times, even on this blog I have received posts stating that the US can’t be trusted with atomic weapons. Basically the argument is that the US spends so much time patrolling the weapons development of the world when we are the only ones that have utilized atomic weapons to attack our enemies. Is there really any defense against these accusations? I have heard before that WWII may not have ended had the US not utilized the atomic » Read More

How did the Iranian conflict become so cluttered and difficult? One of the major game changers occurred in September when the US announced that there is a nuclear facility hidden in a mountain near Qom. Qom is a city in Iran which is about 97 miles away from Tehran. This is simply another example of the nuclear ambitions held by Iran. This facility was not announced by Iran until September after they had already been constructing it for quite some time. What does this tell us? It says that Iran cannot be trusted with nuclear capabilities. Their agendas are far » Read More

On Thursday Clinton spoke about the current situation with Iran and noted that Iran should cooperate with the US instead of making unreasonable requests. Clinton stated, “As I have said, this is a pivotal moment for Iran, and we urge Iran to accept the agreement as proposed.” Clinton spoke with some spine as she stated, “We will not alter it (the proposal), and we will not wait forever.” All I can say is that it is about time someone spoke up and told Iran how it will be. We have been letting Iran get away with their foolish attempts to » Read More

On Thursday Russia stated that they would like to discuss a nuclear disarmament treaty with the United States, something that Obama has been trying to accomplish since his term began. The new treaty would be aimed at replacing or extending the current treaty between the US and Russia which is set to expire within the next month. The treaty that is set to expire is the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty or START. Russia stated, “we hope the constructive proposal that US National Security Adviser James Jones made in Moscow last week will let us bring our positions together and » Read More
