U.S. ships and Israeli nuclear submarines in the Persian Gulf

U.S. ships and Israeli nuclear submarines in the Persian Gulf

Rome (Italy) | 24 June 2010
The crossing of a U.S.-Israeli fleet through the Suez Canal should be interpreted less as a signal against Iran than a direct threat against Pakistan. True, it took place just after the Security Council vote on the Iranian sanctions, but it responds first and foremost to the gas agreement concluded between Tehran and Islamabad.

NATO could not have been unaware

Rome (Italy) | 4 June 2010
Totally hazed over by the media, NATO is central to the Israeli aggression on the high seas as well as to the Israeli’s retraction with regard to its takings. In this article, written just before the Alliance requested the release of the prisoners and vessels, Manlio Dinucci observes that, given the close ties between the Israeli forces and NATO, it is inconceivable that the latter had no foreknowledge of the operation.

Summit on nuclear security or nuclear trading?

Summit on nuclear security or nuclear trading?

Rome (Italy) | 14 April 2010
President Obama convened a summit for Heads of State to alert them to the possible theft of nuclear materials by terrorists intent on manufacturing an atomic bomb. Needless to say, considering the price of such materials, no one would be so foolish as to let them get stolen and hardly needs Uncle Sam for advice.
Something else was afoot in Washington: the regulation and partition of a gigantic market ...

New U.S. nuclear strategy: a warmed-over "novelty"

New U.S. nuclear strategy: a warmed-over "novelty"

Rome (Italy) | 9 April 2010
Washington has just published its new nuclear doctrine as well as signed the new treaty on arms control with Russia in the midst of a big media fanfare. And yet, upon closer scrutiny, the position of the Obama administration does not mark any real shift from that of its predecessors. It simply attunes the policy of the Bush administration to today’s reality. Even worse, it dodges the two main questions: Will the anti-missile shield reactivate the arms race? Will nuclear weapons be replaced by strategic arms which will prove even more destabilizing?

New START Treaty and old superpower policy

by Manlio Dinucci, Tommaso di Francesco

New START Treaty and old superpower policy

Rome (Italy) | 3 April 2010
While the United States and Russia are quietly beefing up their budgets and nuclear arsenals, they are about to annouce the signing of a new nuclear arms reduction treaty. The disconnect between reality and political hype is nothing new. But Manlio Dinucci and Tommaso Di Francesco don’t want us to be fooled. The super powers are still clinging to their traditional policies.

Afghanistan: The Secret War

Afghanistan: The Secret War

Rome (Italy) | 31 March 2010
General McChrystal, who organized death squads to eliminate targets designated by Vice-President Cheney, can no longer bear the system he set up. Now, as Commander in Chief in Afghanistan, he sees his own strategy disrupted by the secret interventions of Special Operations Forces that escape his control. He is appealing for a reorganization of the system. Not due to ethics, but as a way of reasserting his authority.

Obama’s nuclear strategy

The anti-missile shield and the first strike

by Manlio Dinucci, Tommaso di Francesco

The anti-missile shield and the first strike

Rome (Italy) | 14 March 2010
The U.S. anti-missile shield project raises a number of questions in terms of feasibility, cost and positioning. However, the main concern has more to do with the philosophy linked to the weapon itself. The denomination of "shield" gives it an exclusively defensive connotation, but in the context of the "balance of terror", defense implies impunity. And the impunity of one constitutes a threat for all the others.

War game in the Red Sea

Iran in the Dolphin’s cross hairs

Iran in the Dolphin's cross hairs

Rome (Italy) | 22 July 2009
After vehemently denying that it had authorized the use of the Suez Canal to the Israeli Navy, the Egyptian government acknowledged the evidence. It invoked the application of the 1880 Convention of Constantinople which allows for the transit of military vessels provided it does not pose a threat to the host country; however, it failed to mention the more recent and relevant defense agreements between Israel and Egypt. But how many people are aware that as a nuclear power de facto associated with NATO, Israel can henceforth deploy its missiles anywhere in all five oceans?
