North Kauslim lub Tsib Hlis 7 tshaj tawm tias nws yuav tsis yog thawj zaug siv riam phom nuclear tau ntsib nrog kev thuam tsis yog kev pab thiab kev qhuas. Tsis muaj ib daim ntawv tshaj tawm ntawm cov lus tshaj tawm uas kuv tuaj yeem pom tau sau tseg tias Tebchaws Meskas tsis tau ua qhov kev cog lus tsis siv thawj zaug. Tsis muaj ib qho ntawm peb lub kaum os xov xwm txawm hais tias North Kauslim tsis tau txais ib lub taub hau nuclear siv tau. Lub New York Times tau lees tias, "Cov tub ceev xwm Asmeskas thiab Kaus Lim Qab Teb tau ua xyem xyav tias North Kauslim tau tsim lub foob pob hluav taws sib cuam tshuam uas tuaj yeem xa cov khoom siv hluav taws xob mus rau Tebchaws Meskas."
Nuclear "thawj siv" txhais tau hais tias yog kev tawm tsam nuclear lossis kev nce ntxiv los ntawm kev puas tsuaj loj rau kev siv lub taub hau nuclear, thiab cov thawj tswj hwm tau hem nws ntau txog 15 zaug. Hauv kev txhim kho rau xyoo 1991 Persian Gulf foob pob, Asmeskas cov tub ceev xwm suav nrog tom qab Def. Sec. Dick Cheney thiab Sec. ntawm Xeev James Baker tshaj tawm rau pej xeem thiab rov hais ntxiv tias Asmeskas yuav siv riam phom nuclear. Nyob rau hauv nruab nrab ntawm kev foob pob, Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., thiab cov neeg sau xov xwm Cal Thomas ob leeg tau tshaj tawm kev ua tsov rog nuclear rau Iraq.
Thaum lub Plaub Hlis 1996, Thawj Tswj Hwm Bill Clinton tus Lwm Thawj Saib Xyuas Kev Tiv Thaiv Herald Smith tshaj tawm rau pej xeem hem tias yuav siv riam phom nuclear tawm tsam tsis yog Nuclear Libya - uas yog ib tog rau Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty - rau kev liam tias tsim cov riam phom zais cia. Thaum Clinton Tus Thawj Fwm Tsav Saib Xyuas Kev Tiv Thaiv William J. Perry raug nug txog qhov kev hem thawj no nws rov hais dua, hais tias, "[W] peb yuav tsis lees tias muaj peev xwm." (Lub Nonproliferation Treaty txwv tsis pub muaj kev tawm tsam nuclear ntawm lwm lub xeev.)
Nyob rau hauv "Presidential Policy Directive 60" (PD 60) ntawm Kaum Ib Hlis 1997, Clinton tau tshaj tawm rau pej xeem txog kev siv lub tswv yim ntawm nws cov phiaj xwm ua tsov rog. US H-pob foob pob tam sim no tau tsom rau cov teb chaws uas tau txheeb xyuas los ntawm Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Ruaj Ntseg los ua "rogues." PD 60 alarmingly txo qis qhov pib tiv thaiv kev tawm tsam nuclear. Cov lus qhuab qhia Clinton "yuav tso cai rau Asmeskas tso riam phom nuclear los teb rau kev siv tshuaj lom neeg lossis riam phom lom neeg," Los Angeles thiab New York Times tau tshaj tawm. (Kev sib cav tias peb xav tau H-pob zeb los tiv thaiv kev tawm tsam tshuaj lom neeg zoo li hais tias peb xav tau lub tshuab hluav taws xob nuclear los ua kom dej npau.) Pov tseg txoj cai txwv tsis pub nyob hauv qab lub tsheb npav, Clinton ces "hais kom cov tub rog ... tseg txoj cai siv riam phom nuclear ua ntej, txawm tias ua ntej. lub detonation ntawm ib tug yeeb ncuab warhead."
Clinton qhov kev txiav txim yog ib qho kev tsis txaus siab rau National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - lub teb chaws cov pab pawg kws tshaj lij tshaj lij tshaj lij - uas tau pom zoo rau lub hlis dhau los, thaum Lub Rau Hli 18, 1997, Asmeskas, "tshaj tawm tias nws yuav tsis yog thawj zaug siv. riam phom nuclear hauv kev ua tsov ua rog lossis kev kub ntxhov. " Thaum lub Plaub Hlis 1998, Clinton tus US Embassy reps nyob rau hauv Moscow txias tsis kam txiav txim tawm kev siv riam phom nuclear tawm tsam Iraq, hais tias, "...peb tsis tau txiav txim ua ntej ib lub peev xwm muaj rau peb."
Ib zaug ntxiv, thaum Lub Ib Hlis thiab Lub Ob Hlis 2003, Tus Tuav Ntaub Ntawv ntawm Lub Xeev Colin Powell thiab Tus Thawj Saib Xyuas Tsev Dawb Ari Fleischer tsis kam qhia meej meej tsis suav nrog riam phom nuclear raws li kev xaiv hauv kev ua tsov rog rau Iraq, hais tias US txoj cai tsis txwv ib yam dab tsi tawm, Wade Boese ntawm Arms. Control Association tshaj tawm. Tsis tas li ntawd, Def. Sec. Donald Rumsfeld hais ntawm ib Feb. 13 Pawg Neeg Saib Xyuas Tub Rog Senate tau hnov txog txoj cai tswjfwm hais tias Tebchaws Meskas, "...tsis txwv kev siv riam phom nuclear yog raug tawm tsam."
Kev xaus rau qhov kev ntshai foob pob tawg no yuav ua rau Asmeskas ua raws li Thawj Tswj Hwm hais lus uas tau hais tawm tsis tu ncua "kev ua phem nuclear." Daim ntawv cog lus thoob ntiaj teb ntawm "kev tiv thaiv tsis muaj nuclear," tau txais los ntawm tsib lub xeev muaj riam phom nuclear thaum Lub Tsib Hlis 11, 1995, tsis tau txiav txim siab txog kev ua siab phem tawm tsam lawv. Daim ntawv cog lus yog tag nrho ntawm kev zam - piv txwv li, PD 60 - thiab tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam. Tsuas yog Tuam Tshoj tau cog lus tsis txaus ntseeg no: "Tsis muaj lub sijhawm thiab tsis muaj qhov xwm txheej yuav Tuam Tshoj yuav yog thawj tus siv riam phom nuclear thiab [Tuam Tshoj] lees paub tsis muaj kev txwv tsis pub siv lossis hem kom siv riam phom nuclear tawm tsam cov tebchaws tsis muaj nuclear thiab thaj chaw tsis muaj nuclear. ” Is Nrias teb tau cog lus zoo ib yam li tsis siv thawj zaug.
Kev tsis lees paub hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas thawj zaug yuav ua rau lub taub hau txias dua los ntawm kev xaus kev sib cav txog qhov hu ua "threshold" siv Bomb. Nws kuj tseem yuav xaus qhov kev tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm pej xeem kev tshaj tawm tias riam phom nuclear tsuas yog rau kev tiv thaiv thaum npaj rau kev tawm tsam "ua ntej lub foob pob ntawm tus yeeb ncuab lub taub hau."
Kev cog lus "tsis muaj kev siv thawj zaug" yuav txuag tau ntau lab nyiaj daus las hauv kev tshawb fawb, kev tsim kho thiab kev tsim khoom, nrog rau cov nqi ntawm kev tswj xyuas thawj zaug: B61 H-bombs, Trident submarine warheads, Cruise thiab land-based missile warheads.
Qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws, cov phiaj xwm kev ua tsov rog nuclear uas tau siv lawv thawj zaug "tus tswv daim npav" ntseeg tias lawv tau ua tiav - txoj hauv kev uas tus tub sab tuaj yeem tau txais ib lub hnab nyiaj uas siv rab phom thauj khoom tab sis tsis rub tus taw. Lawv xav kom lawv cov "ace" ghastly nyob rau hauv lawv lub tes tsho, thiab lawv tau tsim ib tug hnyav stigma tawm tsam officially renouncing nuclear thawj zaug siv, txij li thaum ua li ntawd tej zaum yuav hu mus rau cov lus nug rau cov nom "yeej" yog vim li cas rau tau sim tawg tawg ntawm Hiroshima thiab Nagasaki xyoo 1945.
Teb Chaws Asmeskas yuav tsum lees txais Tuam Tshoj cov lus tsis meej thiab cog lus tias yuav tsis siv riam phom nuclear ua ntej lossis tawm tsam cov xeev tsis muaj nuclear. Yog tias Thawj Tswj Hwm Obama xav kom yooj yim lub ntiaj teb kev kub ntxhov yam tsis tau thov txim rau Hiroshima thaum nws mus xyuas lub nroog iconic, nws tuaj yeem hloov Clinton tus thawj tswj hwm cov lus qhia nrog nws tus kheej, tshaj tawm tias Asmeskas yuav tsis yog thawj zaug mus rau nuclear.
