Pakistan’s push is said to be related to President Obama’s call for a treaty banning the production of weapons-grade fissile material, an effort to churn out as big a stockpile as possible before such a ban takes place.
A late entry into the nuclear weapons game, Pakistan has one of the world’s smallest arsenals and very little material to make more. Paradoxically however the US outrage at Pakistan’s increase in nuke investment comes at the same time they are pressing other nations to increase their investment in weapons of mass destruction.
The Pentagon has been pressuring Britain for months to pledge to keep their own nuclear arsenal, at a time when its expense has made it controversial. Germany, a non-nuclear power, has also been under pressure to keep its nuke-capable bombers in service, allowing them to ferry US-made nuclear bombs into potential warzones.
The position underscores the curious policies of an Obama Administration which claims to be in favor of global nuclear disarament, but which has declared that Israel has a “right” to its own massive arsenal. Which rails at Pakistan’s expenses but balks at the prospect of British cuts, and which has spent the last several IAEA meetings picking fights with non-nuclear powers like Syria.
Either everybody has a right to them or nobody has a right to them. Personally I prefer nobody but the idea that America and it's satellites are the only ones who can have them is ridiculous and can't be enforced. One nation cannot put itself above the whole rest of mankind indefinitely.
It's all very bizzarre behavior and I can think of only 3 explanations for America's seemingly irrational, self-contradictory policy on nuke proliferation: one is insanity, and the other is that America is effectively acting as a proxy for Israeli foreign policy. A third explanation might be that America is being used to wage an undeclared war on the entire muslim world to finish the job started during the cold war and impose neoliberal capitalist slavery on them and the rest of the world. And a fourth and probably more realistic option might be some combination of all of the above.
I don,t with which right america is trying to dictate when they themself break the international law. I myself don,t like over spending on such weapons as our aim is fulfilled and India has to think twice to attack Pakistan otherwise there is no use.
We invetment in civil branchen and not on prestige issue.
O Obamba O Obamba,How many faces of your shall I see.
Obomba was a joke and remains so till this day and the many more to come.
God help us all and especially the Americans,I pray for them to wake up sooner than never.
Americans don't control America. Global Corporations with deep pockets control America, and Israel writes American foreign policy. Plenty of Americans are awake, but unable to affect change in our own country.

The Zionists, of course, will be exempted from this bit of coercion, and the FedGov will continue to practice the high art of hypocrisy as it refuses to get rid of its nukes.

Yes, that is what the auxiliaries are there for, to do the bidding of the Yankees.
