US Pressing Israel to Lose Its Nukes

Another example of the U.S. now working against Israel. Here, forcing the Jewish state to disarm will only embolden its neighboring enemies and increase the likelihood of an attack when its guard is down. There is no way experts cannot know this, and therefore, it’s safe to assume this is by design. In the last seven years, the Obama administration has turned an almost-70 year friendship into a hostile rivalry.

 

Assistant US Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation, Thomas Countryman, recently visited Israel and held talks with senior Foreign Ministry officials, about the possibility of making the Middle East nuclear-free.

Obama Administration to sign U.N. Arms Trade Treaty “In the very near future”

As we reported last month, on April 2, the United Nations General Assembly voted 153-4 to pass the Arms Trade Treaty, with the United States voting in favor and several countries abstaining. The vote in the General Assembly pushed the treaty process forward after negotiations twice failed to deliver on the goal of developing the treaty by consensus. The Obama Administration is expected to sign the treaty soon after it is opened for signature on June 3.

According to a May 16 Amnesty International article, a senior US diplomat–Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Countryman–has confirmed the U.S. government will be quick to sign the new treaty.  According to the article, Countryman said on Wednesday that the United States would sign the ATT “in the very near future.”
