Well I see my old mate - Prez Obama , want's to get rid of nuclear weapons .
I do admit I’m pro this way of thinking , and do applaud his brave moves, but somehow don’t think this is achievable in his first term of office , and he needs to be at least re elected before you can even hope to seriously start talking about this, although stopping Georgie W’s ill conceived European Missile Shield is probably a good move in regards to our Russki comrades .
Talking of The Soviets , it was they , who ironically proposed the self same nuclear disarmament plans at the Reykjavik Summit of 1986 , but Ronald Reagan actually vetoed it because it would mean giving up his “ holy” - strategic defence initiative , which at the time was probably like selling your grandmother for a penny :)
Wouldn’t it be nice to have powerful world leaders in place who had the same ideals at the same moment in time , as I have nothing but admiration for the then Russian President at the time - Mikhail Gorbachev and his ideas which revolutionised the Soviet Union , although the subsequent - drunk , KGB man and the current puppet - I have no time for .
Now unfortunately, our North Korean friends have decided to move in to the “space race” at this precise moment in time by firing a test missile, setting the Japanese in to a right tizz , and has the west - metaphorically running for cover as the missile could reach the U.S.A. amongst other places .
I won’t even get in to the argument that we have nuclear missiles that can reach for example - North Korea and Iran for years , because were the good guy’s –
…..aren’t we ……….……………..aren’t we ??? ………..:)
Following on from the above - there’s also the question of Iran developing its own nuclear technology too, which I suppose could be monitored by a revival of the 1970’s Nuclear Non proliferation Treaty, in which Iran has the right to produce fuel for civilian nuclear power, as long it submits to international inspections.
With all the above said and done , I will end by being devils advocate , in which I notice Obama is sending even more troops in to Afghanistan, and urging other world nations to follow suit , which is in my book is preaching peace on one hand and war on the other - in typical political fashion .
