‘Time to talk tactical nuclear weapons’
Published: 16 April, 2009, 02:06
The US and Russia will come to an understanding about missile defenses in Eastern Europe, believes Daryl Kimball, Executive Director of the Arms Control Association.
This absolutely must never happen, we absolutely need these tactical Nuclear weapons as part of a layered response to US,EU and NATO aggression in the boarder regions. We need these weapons, so that they can be used early on against Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine and Georgia to create a Nuclear buffer zone. It is the only way to address the overwhelming manpower advantage and offer a two stage approach, allowing a resting point for further negotiation with old Europe and the US, prior to a final all out exchange. The posture is purely a defensive one, adding stability and will only be resented, by those who want to seek advantage by the removal or reduction in tactical nuclear weapons. The US,NATO and the EU are busy preparing for border aggression in these areas, just look at the NATO insurgency training, that is upcoming in Georgia. Tactical Nuclear weapons are the only cost effective answer to this. If we fail to maintain and improve them, then Yugoslavia will be our fate and waterboarding will be the fate of our people. The only talk we need on them, is one that enshrines their first use in a deterrence document that demostrates our reslove to preserve national security in a purely defensive way. Then we can largely ignore the external provacations, nstead the aggressors can worry and assess when the response will come.










This will never happen - without tactical nuclear weapons in Krolewiec, Russia will have no proper mean to intimidate Poland and Lithuania - Baltic Fleet and Coastal Forces there are already a mess in conventional weaponry and training, and without tactical charges their projection of strenght would be even worse.
