L ' Alliance does not dismantle the warheads in the U.S. Europe as promised by Obama and redeploy to Aviano

"As long as there are nuclear weapons, NATO remains an alliance nuclearized ': this is the directive that the Secretary General of Washington Alliance Atlantic Anders Fogh Rasmussen is transmitting and European allies have agreed to the meeting of defense ministers in Brussels on October 14 in preparation for the Summit of Heads of State and Government on 19-20 November in Lisbon. In other words, the U.S. will maintain a nuclear arsenal in Europe. Yet in the "historic" speech in Prague on April 5, 2009, President Barack Obama declared that the U.S. will make concrete steps towards a world without nuclear weapons, strengthening the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation Treaty which commits countries to eliminate nuclear and non- not to acquire nuclear. Thus implied to be favorable to the removal of U.S. nuclear weapons from Europe. On this basis, five European members of NATO - Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway and the Netherlands - had declared their intention to raise the issue at a summit in Lisbon.

Modern hyper-penetrating

How is what actually emerges from the ratio of U.S. non-strategic nuclear weapons in Europe: Born in Fundamental debate, presented at the end of October by a committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of NATO. Firstly, it confirms that you do not know exactly how many non-strategic nuclear weapons (with a range of less than 5500 km) that the U.S. maintain in four European countries of NATO - Italy, Belgium, Germany, Holland - and in Turkey. According to a low estimate, quoted in the report, would be 150-200, including 70-90 in Italy (Aviano and Ghedi-Torre). Secondo altre stime, almeno il doppio. Sono bombe B-61 in diverse versioni, la cui potenza va da 45 a 170 kiloton (13 volte maggiore della bomba di Hiroshima). Tra queste, probabilmente, la B61-11 che può penetrare nel terreno così da creare, con l'esplosione nucleare, un'onda d'urto capace di distruggere obiettivi sotterranei. Tutte queste bombe sono tenute in speciali hangar insieme ai cacciabombardieri F-15, F-16 e Tornado, pronti per l'attacco nucleare.

Il rapporto conferma che esistono «accordi nucleari bilaterali» segreti, in base ai quali una parte di queste armi può essere usata dalle forze armate dei paesi ospitanti una volta che gli Usa ne abbiano deciso l'impiego. Ma, si ricorda nel rapporto, the advocates of arms control argue that "NATO has a responsibility to end this practice of nuclear sharing," because it violates the Treaty on the Non-proliferation: it prohibits the states possessing nuclear weapons to be transferred to other (Art. 1) and non-nuclear by anyone receiving them (Article 2).

The silence of the Italian Government

include the option to maintain the U.S. nuclear weapons in Europe as they are and to withdraw completely, there are proposals in between. The most reliable, according to the report, is that the U.S. Air Force's "nuclear weapons in less group geographical locations." According to most experts, "the most likely places for such relocation are the bases under U.S. control in Aviano, Italy, and Incirlik, Turkey." Significantly, the report notes, is that the meeting of foreign ministers of NATO in April 2010, the issue of U.S. nuclear weapons in Europe has been raised by Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, while Italy and Turkey have remained silent. This suggests that the Italian government has already secretly given his consent to the plan to remove U.S. nuclear weapons from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands to group them in Aviano, where even those would be transferred to Ghedi-Torre.

deployed to Aviano and the 31st Fighter Wing, consisting di due squadriglie di cacciabombardieri F-16 - 510th Fighter Squadron e 555th Fighter Squadron. La sua missione è quella di «fornire potenza di combattimento da un capo all'altro del globo per conseguire gli obiettivi degli Usa e della Nato». Potenza anche nucleare, come mostra l'emblema del 510th Fighter Squadron in cui, accanto all'aquila imperiale, vi è il simbolo dell'atomo con tre fulmini che colpiscono la terra.
