Erosion of American Nuclear Superiority

Posted by Matt in September 22nd, 2008

OVER THE next ten to twenty years, the erosion of American nuclear superiority will have major ramifications for the global balance of power. It will place new constraints on our freedom of action and lead our friends and foes alike to doubt the credibility of all instruments of U.S. power. As a result, decades-old alliance structures may fracture amid a drift toward multipolarity. Leadership from Tokyo to Riyadh to Seoul may find new incentives to develop their own deterrents as the relative power of states like Russia and China increases. With our extended-deterrent power lost, the international system will change—and not in Washington’s favor. But this scenario is preventable if policy makers cast away the illusion of safety and act quickly to correct a trend which has plagued Washington for nearly two decades.

United States Nuclear Tests
I have gone through my archives and put together a quick video of American nuclear tests through project Castle. About 45 different tests are represented. The clips have been sped up from 2 to 10 times faster to save time and get in under the 10 minute limit. Also, someone on youtube once said anything sped up can be made funny by playing the Benny Hill theme "Yakkety Sax" with it, so I tried that. If anyone wants to see any one of the clips at normal speed, just drop me a line and I will upload it at normal speed with no music.

Pakistan tests nuclear-capable cruise missile
Barbur missile's range extended to 700 kilometres Thursday July 26th, 2007 Pakistan test fired its weapon in an undisclosed location. A military statement said it would "consolidate Pakistan's strategic capability and strengthen national security." The new range is enough to reach India's capital New Delhi. Under a deal Pakistan negotiated with India in 1999, each country must warn the other of ballistic tests, but not cruise missiles. Relations between the self-declared nuclear powers remain tense. They have fought three wars since being separated at independence in 1947, and are deadlocked over Kashmir. But neither has tested any underground weapons since 1998. The missile launch comes a day after India's cabinet approved a civilian nuclear deal with the U.S. If approved by the...

Music and film by Ice Core scientist [song available on iTunes,see main profile page for album link] In memory of the first civilian victims of Nuclear Warfare in Japan 1945. In memory of the madness of the so called Cold War. Between 1949 and 1992 over 3000 atmospheric nuclear tests were conducted by USA, USSR, China,France.The total yield was 438 megatons, or an equivalent of 29,200 Hiroshima size explosions. The damage to the environment equalled that of a Global Thermonuclear war.The official fall-out estimate in the USA alone can be viewed here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:US_fallout_exposure.png Nuclear test footage courtesy of Prelinger public domain archive.Check it out here http://www.archive.org/details/prelinger

On the Beach (1959) - Gregory Peck & Ava Gardner
Scene from the film. The story is set in 1964, what was then the near future (1963 in the book) in the months following World War III. The conflict has devastated the northern hemisphere, polluting the atmosphere with nuclear fallout and killing all life. While the nuclear bombs were confined to the northern hemisphere, global air currents are slowly carrying the fallout to the southern hemisphere. The only part of the planet still habitable is the far south of the globe, specifically Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, and the southern parts of South America. From Australia, survivors detect a mysterious and incomprehensible Morse code radio signal originating from the United States. With hope that some life has remained in the contaminated regions, one of the last American nuclear...

John Pilger "The Invisible Government" Part 4/4 Fixed!
Many people who regard themselves on the left supported Bush's attack on Afghanistan. That the CIA had supported Osama Bin Laden was ignored, that the Clinton administration had secretly backed the Taliban, even giving them high-level briefings at the CIA, is virtually unknown in the United States. The Taliban were secret partners with the oil giant Unocal in building an oil pipeline across Afghanistan. And when a Clinton official was reminded that the Taliban persecuted women, he said, "We can live with that." There is compelling evidence that Bush decided to attack the Taliban not as a result of 9-11, but two months earlier, in July of 2001. This is virtually unknown in the United States—publicly. Like the scale of civilian casualties in Afghanistan. To my knowledge only one...

JFK SPEECH ON RESUMING NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTING
A speech from JFK informing the world of the USA's re-entry into nuclear testing (by sending 3 argus missles to the pacific proving ground for extremely high alt. testing) John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917--November 22, 1963), was the thirty-fifth President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. After Kennedy's leadership as commander of the USS PT-109 during World War II in the South Pacific, his aspirations turned political. Kennedy represented the state of Massachusetts in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat, and in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until 1961. Kennedy defeated former Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 U.S. presidential election, one of the closest in American history. To date,...

Another Haircut with Theresa
An American nuclear submarine is attacked (during the cold war) and crashes underwater. The navy asks the workers of a nearby underwater oil rig who are joined by a number of navy SEALS to locate and investigate the cause of the crash. As the crew embark on their mission, they encounter a number of difficulties and discover that they may not be alone. There is something else down there. The amazing tracks used in this video are of course by ERIC RYAN: http://youtube.com/profile?user=ericryanmusic Go to him, listen, subscribe, buy his tracks, SUPPORT ERIC RYAN'S MUSIC
