The Privatization of Nuclear War
By James Corbett and Prof Michel Chossudovsky
With tensions growing in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, a new generation of nuclear weapons technology is making nuclear warfare a very real prospect. And with very little fanfare, the US is embarking on the privatization of nuclear war under a first-strike doctrine.
“Nuclear war has become a multibillion dollar undertaking, which
fills the pockets of US defense contractors. What is at stake is the
outright “privatization of nuclear war”.
US-NATO weapons of mass destruction are portrayed as instruments
of peace. Mini-nukes are said to be “harmless to the surrounding
civilian population”. Pre-emptive nuclear war is portrayed as a
“humanitarian undertaking”.
…
While one can conceptualize the loss of life and destruction resulting from present-day wars including Iraq and Afghanistan, it is impossible to fully comprehend the devastation which might result from a Third World War, using “new technologies” and advanced weapons, until it occurs and becomes a reality. The international community has endorsed nuclear war in the name of world peace. “Making the world safer” is the justification for launching a military operation which could potentially result in a nuclear holocaust.”

“On August 6, 2003, on Hiroshima Day, commemorating when the
first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima (August 6 1945), a secret
meeting was held behind closed doors at Strategic Command Headquarters
at the Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Senior executives from the
nuclear industry and the military industrial complex were in attendance.
This mingling of defense contractors, scientists and policy-makers was
not intended to commemorate Hiroshima. The meeting was intended to set
the stage for the development of a new generation of “smaller”, “safer”
and “more usable” nuclear weapons, to be used in the “in-theater nuclear
wars” of the 21st Century.
US-NATO weapons of mass destruction are portrayed as instruments
of peace. Mini-nukes are said to be “harmless to the surrounding
civilian population”. Pre-emptive nuclear war is portrayed as a
“humanitarian undertaking”.
US nuclear doctrine is intimately related to “America’s War on
Terrorism” and the alleged threat of Al Qaeda, which in a bitter irony
is con- sidered as an upcoming nuclear power.
Under the Obama administration, Islamic terrorists are said to be
preparing to attack US cities. Proliferation is tacitly equated with
“nuclear terrorism”. Obama’s nuclear doctrine puts particular emphasis
on “nuclear terrorism” and on the alleged plans by Al Qaeda to develop
and use nuclear weapons. …
