USAF Report: “Most” Nuclear Weapon Sites In Europe Do Not Meet US Security Requirements

Posted by Matt in June 19th, 2008

An internal U.S. Air Force investigation has determined that “most sites” currently used for deploying nuclear weapons in Europe do not meet Department of Defense security requirements.

A summary of the investigation report was released by the Pentagon in February 2008 but omitted the details. Now a partially declassified version of the full report, recently obtained by the Federation of American Scientists, reveals a much bigger nuclear security problem in Europe that previously known.

Ivan Canas: Russia will be forced to appropriately respond if the U.S. aggravates Eastern Europe by deploying its controversial missile defence system
Medvedev: U.S. aggravating Eastern Europe Russia will be forced to appropriately respond if the U.S. aggravates Eastern Europe by deploying its controversial missile defence system, President Dmitry Medvedev has told Russian diplomats. Medvedev has called for a truly open security system in the Euro-Atlantic zone. "The deployment of elements of the U.S. global missile defence system in Eastern Europe is only aggravating the situation. We will have to respond appropriately and our American and European partners have already been warned," Medvedev said. Medvedev stressed both Russia and the U.S. share responsibility for preserving strategic stability. "It's clear our common legacy cannot be kept if one of the sides destroys selective elements of this strategic structure. It doesn't...

U.S. security - Russia's concern
Bill Clinton, when he was in the White House, decided against the deployment of missile defence systems. President Bush, on the contrary, supported and started implementing the idea. But will the ABM system in Europe make the world safer? And can this decision be reversed if the Democrats win the U.S. presidential election? The guests to answer these questions are the President of Ploughshares Fund Joseph Cirincione and Senior Adviser to the Centre for Defence Information Philip Coyle.

Nukes in the Low Lands
Dutch TV 080702. - A US Air Force investigation has found that most military bases in Europe that store nuclear bombs do not meet the most basic Defense Department security regulations. The report reveals some startling deficiencies in nuclear security in Europe in the wake of nuclear safety concerns and a historic Air Force leadership shake-up. The report stated that each site had "unique security challenges." "Inconsistencies in personnel, facilities, and equipment provided to the security mission by the host nation were evident as the team traveled from site to site," the study reads. "Examples of areas noted in need of repair at several of the sites include support buildings, fencing, lighting, and security systems." - The US has removed its nuclear weapons from Britain, ending a...

In Defense of Israel with Shimon Erem
The Berean Call hosted a meeting where an estimated crowd of 600 came to hear retired General Shimon Erem, one of the most decorated soldiers in the history of modern Israel. TBC's executive director, T. A. McMahon, moderated the event, and we are pleased to present this professionally edited video production of that evening so that it may edify others and encourage Christian support of Israel around the world. Shimon Erem's service experience began in World War II as a member of the Jewish Brigade of the British Army, and continued from the 1948 War of Independence through virtually every war in the nation's history—including the Sinai Campaign, the 1967 Six-Day War, and the Yom Kippur War in 1973. General Erem recently met with key people in the Bush administration and in Congress,...

France to push for EU rapid reaction force
When the next negotiations on the multi-annual European Union budget are launched, the bloc's members will have to decide how much money they want to put towards "soft power" abroad, such as trade and humanitarian aid, and how effectively they can develop hard power - armed men. An EU military is high up on the agenda of the French EU presidency in the second half of 2008. France wants to improve common European military capacity. It wants to press ahead with the EU's own rapid reaction force, which the leaders made a headline goal in 1999, to be equipped with autonomous headquarters, pooled material and satellite intelligence. Talking in this report are: 0:44 Javier SOLANA, EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, in English 1:58 MEP Karl von WOGAU (PPE-DE,...

Obama National Security Team Pt 2/5
President-elect Barack Obama named his national security team on Monday, vowing to bolster U.S. military strength with a renewed focus on diplomacy and alliances with other countries to combat terrorism and spread American values.

Underscoring his commitment to a high-profile diplomatic push overseas, he named former Democratic primary rival Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state, perhaps the only other American political figure as well-known around the world as himself, outside of President George...

The United States and Poland have signed a deal to place components of a U.S. missile defense shield in the East European country. U.S. officials say the missile defense system is aimed at new threats from countries like Iran and North Korea. But the plan has sparked anger from Russia, which sees it as a threat to its security.

New arms race?
Today we will talk about the Strategic balance in Europe. In his first state-of-the nation address, President Medvedev said that Russia might deploy missiles in its most western region of Kaliningrad in response to the U.S. anti-missile defence deployment plans in Europe. This was announced on the day Barack Obama won the U.S. presidential election. Were the Russian concerns heard by both the Bush administration and by the President-elect? Well be talking about it with a State Duma deputy and former Russian Secretary of the Security Council, Andrey Kokoshin.
