It's being reported that the American President Barack Obama on Tuesday said it is ‘absolutely imperative’ that the US take the lead in reducing the spread of nuclear weapons.
Obama’s vision for a world free of such weapons was the subject of a major speech he delivered last month in Prague.
Obama is reported to have said that the US must take the lead – particularly at a time when North Korea and Iran are developing nuclear weapons capabilities, nuclear-armed Pakistan and India remain in a long-running conflict and terrorist groups like Al Qaeda are trying to get such weapons.
“It is absolutely imperative that America takes leadership working with countries all around the world to reduce and ultimately eliminate the dangers that are posed by nuclear weapons,” he reportedly said.
OK.Well said.Good thinking.But then look at the other side and you will see a different picture.A typical American double speak..
Here is a small sample..
There are news reports pouring in that Pakistan is augmenting their nuclear weapons capability using the aid money provided by the US.pak trying to increase their nuclear arsenal manifold is a new development,after Obama came to power,at least that is what is being reported and it's a very serious development for India.
Obama administration,still, currently is in the process of sanctioning another set of massive aid to pak.This will also,at least a very large part of it for sure,go towards weapons development or procurement by pak.Or for stealing the technology,as they did with their initial nuclear acquisition..
Obama is talking about reducing nuclear weapons..!!
He could make a good beginning by stopping pak in this deadly double game.At least he must ensure that the aid money provided on humanitarian grounds are not misused.Who knows one day these pak weapons will end up in the hands of terrorists,God forbid..!
And about Obama talking about US taking the lead in reducing nuclear weapons the world over,well,who is stopping him.Let him put his words into action and there by lead by example.The first step is to start reducing the US arsenal drastically.
That will also enable his government to claim the moral high ground when they deal with North Korea and countries like that.!
The more you see Obama's policy towards pak,it does seem more or less the same compared to the previous Bush administration.The same miserably failed policies and tactics.US continue to provide millions in aid to pak with out any care as to for what purpose pak is using those aid money.
one has to say that the Obama administration's first 100 plus days in office has been most disappointing,to say the least,especially when you look at the kind of expectations he generated when he was running for Presidency...!!
