The Obama Doctrine and the Dangers of the $185 Billion Increase in US Nuclear War Preparations
http://www.minjoktimes.com/english/news.php?code=4447

President Barack Obama works as his motorcade arrives at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, May 18, 2011. Although Obama has spoken out against nuclear proliferation, he's set to spend an additional $185 billion to "modernize" the US nuclear arsenal and its delivery systems.

Let me begin with a few words about the US political landscape, the fluid state of the global (dis)order and the emerging Obama Doctrine.

The sad truth is that President Bush has been succeeded by another US war president. The US remains at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama escalated the Pakistan and Yemen wars and the aggressive military exercises in the Yellow and South China Seas. Washington has deepened its alliances across the Asia-Pacific with Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Australia and India and in Europe with NATO's new "strategic concept."
