[lbo-talk] nuclear vindaloo

[parthasarathy kalalesrinivasaranga]

the objection here is not for the agreement as such. It is the demand for
strategic cooperation with US and West in all other issues as a price for a
some quantity of fuel of doubtful value to the nation. To gain an additional
4% power by 2020, sacrificing our Independent foreign policy is too much of
a price though we have within us who are willing to become a unit of US
Confederate.
As for the weponisation etc, US could not stop its bosom friend Pakistan
from doing business with China and it is a fable to say Israel is not having
nuclear technology with it. India's import of military wares from Israel is
highest, displacing US and UK.
The issue is clear. We do not want to be playing against China and Russia to
please US.

The closely held Nuclear club is a travesty of justice. Everybody wants
nuclear energy and the monopoly of  NSG  should  be broken. The fear of
terrorists getting their hand on Nuclear weapon, much less they using it is
a US phobia. It is time US signs the Test ban treaty and brings everything
in this field under UN regime.
