Numbers stall nuclear reduction talks
Published: 01 September, 2009, 13:44
US-Russian talks on a new strategic arms limitation treaty are losing pace. The parties are arguing over the limits of deployed missiles and the way nuclear warheads are to be accounted for.
So ironic that America wants the Iranians to drop the nuclear program. I the meantime, US-Russian nukes are so numerous it can't be decided between them, how to reduce their amount. I mean, where is the logic in this. The US and Russia will never give up their WMD's. Never! So how can America, with a straight face ask, another sovereign nation not open pandora's box. Especially, with Israel sitting on a nuke stockpile. Where's the outrage, outcry or protest against them. Let the playing field be even, like in football.
They say its good to talk, so let's just keep talking to the US. Just get them as low as we can! Meanwhile lets have some more talks with the Indians and Chinese. A nice co developed space baced weapon system with those guys, that resulted in three independent serially produced systems, woud be an efficient method to ensure our defence. We could lever on the economics and technical expertise of the countries to share the costs, whilst still having independent systems and avoiding the 'bloc' mentality. Russia, China and India with common space defence systems, would be an invaluable counterweight to US and Nato ideological expansion. Hey we could even invite other Nations like Gremany, France, Italy... providing there were NATO regime lockout protections.
