Prompt global strike: World military superiority without nuclear weapons

13-04-2010 12:28 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | World

In essence, the new US nuclear doctrine is an element of the novel US security strategy that would be more adequately described as the strategy of total impunity. The US is boosting its military budget, unleashing NATO as a global gendarme, and planning real-life exercises in Iran to test the efficiency of the Prompt Global Strike initiative in practice. At the same time, Washington is talking about a completely nuclear-free world."
