NATO and nukes


According to Paul -
“An official NATO panel consisting of highest-level representatives from [Canada's] nuclear-equipped allies (representatives including Britain’s former Chief of Staff Field Marshal the Lord Inge and the United States’ former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General John Shalikashvili) have just released a NATO policy document advocating a more aggressive, bellicose and offensive nuclear weapons stances for NATO. This policy document includes reversing long-standing NATO policy and advocating in favour of first-strike, pre-emptive nuclear strategies for NATO. The dossier also advocates ‘the use of force without UN security council authorisation’ under some circumstances (source, source, source).”

Bruce Gagnon also has posted about these NATO nuclear weapon strategies.
