Nuclear proliferation
This blog presents a view of nuclear proliferation I have never seen before. Is it correct? I suppose I had better find out. LiveMint suggests that Russia gave China nuclear capability and that was transferred by China gifting it to Pakistan, which in turn criminally proliferated to Libya, North Korea and Iran.
On one hand, the simple fact that nuclear proliferation is a far too dangerous set of circumstances to experiment with, on the other, the surprise nature of the two most destructive known earthbound explosive forces: volcanoes and nuclear weapons – both are subject to extraordinarily chaotic principles that inevitably ensure outcomes. The same principles apply to financial bubbles. The building blocks of dishonesty lie in the first times compromises are made.
How can a country develop nuclear arsenal without compromising their integrity with others? Owning nuclear weapons is a crime of extortion against the rest of humanity in exchange for self destruction.
How do we find the value of the nuclear deterrent? We define the result as undesirable. What organisation with terror as its mantra can resist, reason the CIA.
Eventually, if the “terrorist” organisations are not neutralised they may try to hijack the nuclear process, or worse, develop its own.
Complete outlawing of nuclear weapons is the only solution. How can it be achieved? Or is there something about the threat of nuclear weapons that operates with enough mutual fear that it is simply impossible?
Wishful thinking.
