Amidst talk of discussion between Pakistan and United States on the nuclear issue during the visit of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, two US think-tanks have asked Pakistan to take five initiatives, including signing the Test Ban Treaty without waiting for India, to win the confidence of the international community.

“We propose that Pakistan consider five nuclear weapon-related initiatives,” said Stimson Center and Carnegie Endowment for International Relations (CEIP).

“One: shift declaratory policy from ‘full spectrum’ to ‘strategic’ deterrence. Two: commit to a recessed deterrence posture and limit production of short-range delivery vehicles and tactical nuclear weapons,” the two think-tanks said.

“Three: Lift Pakistan’s veto on Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty negotiations and reduce or stop fissile material production,” they said.

“Four: Separate civilian and military nuclear facilities. And finally: Sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty without waiting for India,” they said.

The think-tanks presented the findings ahead of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to the US and his talks with US President Barack Obama on October 22.

These recommendations were first proposed in a detailed report by Stimson’s Michael Krepon and CEIP’s Toby Dalton, in which they argued that these steps being taken by Islamabad would advance Pakistan’s national, social, and economic security interests.

LOL These Americans are very funny.

Aren't these the same Americans that have agreed to work toward full civil nuclear cooperation with India?

@bold ... Lolll

Fifth.. Disband Pakistan nuclear weapons without waiting for India
Sixth : Dont respond to indian military forces even if they attack Pakistan
seventh: be ready to be disintegrated as a result of indian attack, without any second thought

These steps being taken by Islamabad would advance Pakistan's (read: India's) national, social, and economic security interests

Who the hell is the American think tanks telling Pakistan to sign the suicidal treaty, which is impossible in the current circumstances. If Pakistan signs this stupid treaty it will be end of Pakistan, We are surrounded by increasingly fanatic terrorists on both sides of the border and the Nuclear option is the only survival.

 

[black-hawk_101]

So is Pakistan looking to sign it? and what will it gain from US or EU?

Full Spectrum deterrence is a linchpin to our Defensive doctrine. This policy is totally nonnegotiable. Forget the Civil Nuclear deal , there is no prize big enough to sway us from this policy. They might aswell have asked to to roll back our program.

 

[Pakistani E]

To take into confidence which international community? The same international community that has let Israel off the hook when it comes to nuclear weapons? No thank you. The international community is no paragon of virtue and trust that we should have to bow down and present our case before them. Their hypocrisy is evident for everyone to see.

 

[ganesh623]

May be america has good reward in return if pakistan signs the treaty.

So what is pakistans govt offcial response ?

 

[Hurter]

They must have had a huge quantity of Marijuana before giving this proposal.
