FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“The two leaders agreed to coordinate closely in responding to this potential
provocation and registering our serious concern to the North Koreans and, if
necessary, consider what steps need to be taken following a potential
satellite launch,” Rhodes said.
Mr Obama set expectations high in a 2009 speech in Prague when he declared it
was time to seek “a world without nuclear weapons”.
He acknowledged at the time it was a long-term goal, but his high-flown
oratory helped him win the Nobel Peace Prize.
In Seoul on Monday, Mr Obama made clear that he remained committed to that
notion and insisted that “those who deride our vision, who say that
ours is an impossible goal that will be forever out of reach”, were
wrong.
Though Mr Obama was vague on exactly how such a vision would be achieved and
will surely face stiff Republican opposition if he moves forward, he said he
was confident the United States and Russia, which reached a landmark nuclear
treaty in 2009, “can continue to make progress and reduce our nuclear
stockpiles”.
“I firmly believe that we can ensure the security of the United States
and our allies, maintain a strong deterrent against any threat, and still
pursue further reductions in our nuclear arsenal,” he said.
But another arms accord with Moscow will be an even tougher sell to
conservatives who say Obama has not moved fast enough to modernise the US
strategic arsenal, a pledge he made in return for Republican votes that
helped ratify the START treaty.
Mr Obama also used his speech to call on North Korea, which plans a rocket
launch next month, to curb its nuclear ambitions or else face further
international isolation.
“And know this – there will be no more rewards for provocations. Those
days are over. This is the choice before you,” he said, directing his
comments at North Korea’s leadership.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak urged his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao,
on Monday to try to persuade the North to cancel next month’s rocket launch,
which Pyongyang says is merely to send a satellite into space.
Mr Obama told Iran time there was still space for a diplomatic solution of its
nuclear issue but demanded that Tehran act urgently to show its sincerity
amid talk of new negotiations with world powers.
Tehran says its nuclear programme is purely peaceful, but Israel and Western
nations believe it is moving towards a nuclear bomb that could change the
regional balance of power.
“Once again, there is the possibility of a diplomatic resolution that
gives Iran access to peaceful nuclear energy while addressing the concerns
of the international community,” Mr Obama said.
