He wants to spend hundreds of billions on a missile defense that will never work. He is developing totally new missions for new nuclear weapons, while offering to reduce the obsolete arsenal of the Cold War. PSR, together with our partner organizations, are organizing a rally and congressional education days on June 10-12 to tell the world about the dangers of the President's plans. PSR will be opposing the President's plan to scrap the fragile network of international law and arms control treaties that have helped keep us safe for the last 30 years. And he wants to do this to build a fraud.
Missile defense is a last ditch answer to an unlikely threat.
It undermines any other response to missile and weapons of mass destruction proliferation, resulting in a net decrease in US and global security. It will likely spur Russia to abandon proposed nuclear weapons cuts and provide another reason for China to build up its nuclear weapons, with the side effect of giving an impetus to the nuclear arms race between India and Pakistan. These would be designed for use against Iraq, Libya or other 'rogue states'. Please read the Issue Brief on the President's plan . If you can come to Washington DC we urge you to make every effort to do so at this vital time.
