China Has Definitely Gone Global
It seems every time we turn around in the United States, as we try to work our diplomatic efforts we see that China is involved. Yes, China is now the number two economy in the world, and that’s good for them, however we must also realize that we are the ones feeding that bubble, and it has now expanded globally. China appears to be on a giant scavenger hunt around the world for resources, materials, and oil.
What Will the European Union and Euro Zone Look Like in Five Years?Most understand that the EuroZone is in serious trouble right now with the Greek Default issues, and of course the people of Greece aren’t making it any easier. They don’t want austerity programs, they want to be given what they were promised by their socialist leaders leading up to the crisis. Of course, no one wants to bail out Greece because that would be throwing good money after bad.
Why Are We Still Dithering On Iran?Iran’s leadership is working feverishly to develop nuclear weapons, and has been doing so for the past two decades. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei have repeatedly pledged to use whatever means they have at their disposal to wipe Israel off the map.
Nuclear Weapons Challenges in Middle East and AsiaAt some point we need to reign in the issues with nuclear weapons proliferation, and I’d say that time was yesterday. If we do not get this done now, history will show we were nothing more than fools. Some say that once the cat is out of the bag there is nothing you can do, but I wonder if that is an accurate assessment.
Nuclear Power in the Middle East and Nuclear Weapon Proliferation Challenges ConsideredIran does not need to enrich uranium to weapons grade to have its own in-house nuclear power program, that’s just non-sense. Look, other nations in the Arab League, even in Egypt have nuclear power plant programs slated or in progress, and they are not pursuing nuclear weapons development. Further if Iran does get a nuclear bomb, you can bet the rest of the region will fill it necessary to do the same, and that’s a real dilemma.
