A New Arms Race in the Gulf?

Posted by Matt in January 21st, 2008

Is the United States starting a new arms race? Reviewing the Gulf package, Anthony H. Cordesman, a specialist in Middle East national security affairs at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said a surge of arms sales to countries in the region is just beginning.

With oil and gas exports providing $2 trillion in revenue, Cordesman expects that “southern Gulf arms sales will be 50 to 100 percent higher over the next four years.” The United States will supply only a quarter of the weapons; Russia and European nations also will push to make sales.

Edwards Middle East policy doesn't acknowledge Israeli nukes
Leaving the studios of CBS, presidential candidate Senator John Edwards repeated his position that he was for direct engagement with Iran. That position is qualified by Edwards also insisting that "all options on the table." In January, in a satellite broadcast to the Herzliya Conference in Israel Senator Edwards asserted "once Iran goes nuclear, other countries in the Middle East will go nuclear, making Israel's neighborhood much more volatile." Sam Husseini wondered if the region wasn't already destabilized by Israel's own first possession (excluding the United States' own projection of force) of nuclear arms in the Middle East. Husseini asked the senator if he would acknowledge Israel's nuclear weapons and wondered if the lack of such acknowledgment also aggravated the...

The First World War: To Arms [1 / 10]
The First World War shaped the twentieth century. It sparked the Russian Revolution. It launched America as a world power. The fault-lines from its failed peace settlement led the world to a second terrible war barely twenty years later, then to the Cold War. But the ideas the men of 1914 fought for, still shape our world today - nationalism and democracy, the rule of international law and the rights of nations. We still live with its unresolved, bitter consequences: in the Middle East, the Balkans and Ireland. It was in the Balkans that it all began, nearly a hundred years ago. "To Arms" explores the tensions between the decaying Austro-Hungarian Empire and its aggressive neighbor, Serbia. The film shows how Serbian army officers gave Gavrilo Princip the weapons and training he needed...

Iraq X-File: USA vs USA. (2) Arm the enemy. NOT!
The Egyptian dictator Mubarak and the Saudi Arabian King Abdullah have been backstabbing the coalition effort to bring freedom, democracy, peace and justice to Iraq.

Moscow: US missile shield may spark arms race. Syria, Cuba and Venezuela are ready to receive Russian Missiles to counter balance US Madness. Belarus, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brasil and Argentina are or will support Russia 1-3
Russia's Foreign Ministry fears the deployment of a U.S. missile shield just 70 kilometres from its border will lead to an arms race in Europe and beyond. The statement came after Washington and Warsaw signed a deal to place 10 missile interceptors in Poland, and strengthen military ties between the two countries. A corresponding radar station is to be deployed in the Czech Republic. Moscow accuses the U.S. of attempting to disrupt balance and stability in the world. On the Wednesday, the day the agreement was signed, oil prices soared to $115 a barrel in response to increased political tensions. According to Russia, the U.S. missile shield in Europe has nothing to do with threats from Iran as the Middle Eastern state is many years from having the capability to deliver missile strikes...
