US Assistant Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller publicly asked Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea to sign on and adhere to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). I see Israel signing on to the NPT as a huge possible disadvantage for current security threats.
If Israel joined in the NPT, and got rid of all nuclear weapons, the country would have little leverage in dealing with Iran. Once Iran builds the now seemingly inevitable nuclear weapon, Israel needs some sort of leverage to ward off an attack. Iran’s biggest reason for not attacking Israel would be the potential retaliation.
An Israeli official responded to Gottemoeller’s statement. He said that the NPT has had no effect on the countries that signed it. Why do people bother to continue discussions of the NPT if nations that sign the treaty go ahead and build nuclear bombs anyway?
While spell checking this post, I found what appears to be subliminal right wing Christian Republican propaganda in the very name of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty! Lets break it down. Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty. That is pro-life-ration. PRO LIFE! Maybe I am just forming a conspiracy theory that is baseless. Maybe not…
