Re "Kev hem rau Nuclear Arms Control” (editorial, Lub Xya Hli 30):

Koj tau ceeb toom yog lawm tias Asmeskas npaj yuav siv nyiaj ntau dua $ 1 trillion nyob rau 30 xyoo tom ntej kev txhim kho nuclear rog yuav ua rau muaj kev tswj hwm caj npab thiab ua rau muaj kev sib tw caj npab tshiab. Tab sis nws tsis txaus los tso tseg qhov txaus ntshai, kim txoj kev npaj los txhim kho peb lub peev xwm los rhuav tshem lub ntiaj teb.

United States nuclear txoj cai yog ua raws li kev ntseeg hais tias riam phom nuclear txwv lawv tus kheej siv: hais tias nuclear-armed lub xeev yuav tsis txhob tawm tsam ib leeg rau kev ntshai ntawm kev tawm tsam lawv yuav raug kev txom nyem. Txawm li cas los xij peb paub ntau dua li kaum ob qhov xwm txheej thaum lub teb chaws muaj riam phom nuclear tau pib ua cov txheej txheem ntawm kev tsim lawv cov riam phom nuclear, feem ntau nyob rau hauv kev ntseeg yuam kev tias lawv cov yeeb ncuab twb tau ua lawm - ntau tshaj li kaum lub sij hawm thaum kev tiv thaiv ua tsis tiav.

Thiab peb tau hais tias North Kauslim yuav tsum tsis txhob muaj lub peev xwm nuclear vim tias nws tsis tuaj yeem ntseeg tau raug cuam tshuam. Nws yog lub sijhawm los tso tseg txoj cai ua tsis tiav no thiab ua raws li kev ruaj ntseg tiag tiag ntawm lub ntiaj teb tsis muaj riam phom nuclear.

Koj qhov kev lees paub tias "txij li thaum tawm ntawm lub hnub nyoog nuclear, Amelikas yog qhov tseem ceeb, yog tias tsis zoo, yuam tom qab kev txwv uas muaj"
tsis quav ntsej txog kev thov txim yav dhau los ntawm Tebchaws Meskas qhov kev nthuav dav ntawm nws cov riam phom nuclear thiab kev xa tawm cov txheej txheem nrog rau nws tsis lees paub ntau qhov kev thov los ntawm Russia, Tuam Tshoj thiab txawm tias North Kauslim kom ratchet down the hostilities.

Pib nrog Thawj Tswj Hwm Harry S. Truman qhov kev tsis lees paub ntawm Stalin 1946 lub tswv yim txwv tsis pub muaj riam phom nuclear nyob rau hauv United Nations saib xyuas; rau Thawj Tswj Hwm Ronald Reagan qhov kev tsis lees paub ntawm Mikhail S. Gorbachev qhov kev thov rau kev sib tham rau kev tshem tawm cov riam phom nuclear, tau hais rau Mr.
Reagan tau pom zoo kom tsis txhob nrhiav kev ua tub rog zoo tshaj plaws hauv qhov chaw nrog "Star Wars", uas Mr. Reagan tsis kam.

Ib yam li ntawd, xav txog Vladimir V. Putin qhov kev pom zoo rau Thawj Tswj Hwm Bill Clinton kom txo peb cov arsenals rau 1,500 lossis 1,000 txhua tus thiab hu rau lwm lub xeev riam phom nuclear los sib tham rau lawv qhov kev tshem tawm, muab tias peb tau tso tseg kev tsim cov tshuaj tiv thaiv hauv tebchaws Poland thiab Romania, uas Mr. . Clinton tsis kam. Thiab Thawj Tswj Hwm George W. Bush tom qab taug kev deb ntawm 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty tau tham nrog Soviet Union.

Raws li rau North Kauslim, nws pom tseeb tias nws cov thawj coj nrhiav kev sib tham, tsis yog tsov rog. North Kauslim yog tib lub xeev riam phom nuclear pov npav rau kev sib tham kom txwv lub foob pob thaum Lub Kaum Hli kawg ntawm United Nations.

Tsis tas li ntawd, Senate tau pov npav 98 rau 2 txhawm rau txhawm rau txiav txim tshiab rau North Kauslim, Russia thiab Iran. Qhov kev txwv zoo li cas?

Cov lus pom zoo los ntawm Trump cov thawj coj thiab qee qhov hauv Congress kom siv $ 1 trillion rau lub cim tshiab ntawm riam phom nuclear yog qhov txaus ntshai heev. Nuclear tsov rog tsis tuaj yeem yeej thiab yuav tsum tsis txhob tawm tsam. Qhov tsuas yog qhov kev txiav txim siab tsis txaus ntseeg nuclear arsenal yog ib qho uas tso cai rau kev nyab xeeb thib ob (kev ua pauj) tawm tsam.

Hloov chaw, cov tsim riam phom thiab cov phiaj xwm kev ua tsov rog tau qhia ntau dua "siv tau" riam phom nuclear. Cov phiaj xwm tshiab nuclear cruise missile yuav ua rau lub sij hawm luv luv ntawm cov tshuaj tiv thaiv nuclear thiab muaj kev pheej hmoo rau kev suav tsis raug hauv kev kub ntxhov.

Trump cov thawj coj tsis ntev los no tau tawm tsam United Nations hais lus kom tshem tawm riam phom nuclear. Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty xav kom muaj lub zog nuclear uas twb muaj lawm kom txav mus rau hauv qhov kev taw qhia rov qab rau kev zam los ntawm cov xeev nonnuclear. Kev siv nyiaj ntau lab lab daus las rau riam phom nuclear tshiab tsuas yog yuav tsis muaj kev nyab xeeb thoob ntiaj teb.
