Nuclear weapons in Europe: why zero is better
Article Abstract:
US nuclear weapons in European territories have outlived their purpose with the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. Hence, the US should negotiate for a collective NATO decision to withdraw its nulcear forces from Europe in line with its efforts to eliminate all existing non-strategic nuclear weapons in Russia, UK, France and China. However, the US should ensure its continuing interest in upholding the peace situation in Europe by stressing that withdrawal is a NATO undertaking rather than a unilateral US decision.

Privatizing U.S. national security: the U.S.-Russian HEU deal at risk
Article Abstract:
The historic agreement wherein the US purchase 500 metric tons of highly enriched uranium dismantled from Russian nuclear weapons is in jeopardy. The deal, which is valued at $12 billion, would have guaranteed that the Russian's enriched uranium would not be used to arm more than 20,000 nuclear weapons. The deal is in trouble partly because of Russian commercial incompetence. The US is also to blame in the transaction because it has put commercial and financial interests ahead of its national security.

India releases nuclear doctrine, looks to emulate P-5 arsenals
Article Abstract:
India's newly-released draft nuclear doctrine lays the foundation for a high calibre nuclear arsenal to be deployed at high-alert levels on ships, aircraft and missiles. The US, which has been trying to persuade India and Pakistan to restrain their competitive nuclear policies, says it is disappointed with the doctrine which Pakistan asserts will feed the existing arms race in South Asia.
