North Korea and Umbrella Proliferation

Posted by Matt in February 1st, 2007

Although America’s nuclear umbrella for Japan dates back to the end of World war II, the United States has not limited nuclear guarantees to historic allies. In order to convince Ukraine to disgorge the nuclear weapons that remained on its territory after the break-up of the Soviet Union, Washington reportedly provided Kiev with some security guarantees. Whether they include a promise to use nuclear weapons against Russia on behalf of Ukraine has never been revealed. In any case, Kiev may have given up its ultimate deterrent in the belief that Washington was offering an implicit commitment.

Moreover, Jim Hoagland of the Washington Post wants America to provide nuclear guarantees for the Middle East. He writes: “Bush should announce that he wants consultations with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan and other Arab states—as well as principal U.S. allies in Europe—on extending a U.S. or NATO nuclear umbrella over friendly states in the Gulf.” This would, Hoagland contends, “enable Arab states to forgo developing their own nuclear programs, just as the U.S.-Japan bilateral security treaty is intended to keep Japan nuclear-free.”

Syria, N Korea, and Iran Pt 1
U.S. intelligence agencies have publicly presented their finding that Syria was building a secret nuclear reactor with help from North Korea. The reactor complex, which could have produced the material for nuclear weapons, was attacked in September by the Israeli Air Force. After the site was bombed, Syria itself destroyed what was left. White House press secretary Dana Perino said that "This cover-up only served to reinforce our confidence that this reactor was not intended for peaceful purposes." When Israel bombed the Syrian nuclear site, the U.S. remained studiously silent about the attack. U.S. President George Bush said that caution dictated keeping quiet. "We were concerned," he said, "that an early disclosure would increase the risk of a confrontation in the Middle East." Why,...

Officials say N. Korea helped Syria build reactor
Hello, I'm Kristin Volk on this Thursday, the 24 day of April 2008 with a UPI news update. U.S. officials will tell lawmakers on Capitol Hill today that North Korea helped Syria build a nuclear reactor. The U.S. reportedly has video footage of a suspected nuclear reactor site in Syria with North Koreans inside. That site was destroyed by Israeli warplanes last September. Syria has repeatedly denied that it has any nuclear weapons program or any agreement with North Korea. President Bush will nominate his top Iraq commander to lead U.S. military operations throughout the Middle East. Army General David Petraeus will become head of Central Command. Lieutenant General Raymond Odierno who's the number 2 commander in Iraq will take Petraeus' current job. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said...
