Our Latin America Nuclear Problem
Does the title of this blog post seem a little odd sounding, “Latin American” Nuclear Powers? A close friend was somewhat shocked when I told him earlier this week that Brazil and Argentina are the two more advanced nuclear powers in the Western Hemisphere. Mexico operates several reactors [...]
For several years the Iranian regime has been expanding its diplomatic and economic presence in the Western Hemisphere. It has done so with a great deal of assistance from Cuba – a State Department-designated state sponsor of terrorism – as well as Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, among others. Even some of our better allies in the [...]
National security experts discuss how radical Muslims may be using Shari’ah to subvert U.S. law and interests. The Tech Apps Group blog most recent post, “Lessons Learned from Blackwater,” is worth a read. ”Like a broken record, I’m always saying that you had better get expert help in order to ensure you [...]
Gilberto Câmara, General Director of Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE), earlier this summer said that putting humans in outer space was a “complete waste of money,” adding that the U.S. space program “only serves the purpose of maintaining what Eisenhower called the industrial military complex.” Câmara’s barb was not the first, and certainly not the [...]
Fausta’s Blog pens an item on Brazil’s ongoing relationship with the other state sponsor of terrorism. Lula da Silva and Brazil remain one of the most important relationships for Iranian regime in the Americas. The more we try to close the noose on Iran, the more Brazil comes to Iran’s aid. While on [...]
The day after the United Nations Security Council adopts a resolution on nuclear security, not only do the Iranians says that are building another nuclear reactor, but a neighbor in the Western Hemisphere says that Brazil should have nuclear weapons. While this is not the first time Brazilian officials make such comments in public places, [...]
The Obama Administration is considering a United Nations Security Council Resolution against the constitutional government of Honduras. Foggy Bottom is allegedly also threatening to cut U.S. foreign aid to Honduras if they continue to refuse to cooperate with efforts to re-install the impeached president. If all this pans out, the Obama Administration would be [...]
While it barely generates the media attention that Iran or North Koreahas during the past few years, there are leaders in Latin America, South America to be exact, who have hinted that nuclear weaponization programs are a “right” of developing countries. Despite public acts to the country such as signing on [...]
Russia Offers Nuclear Technology To Brazil
The Russian nuclear agency, Rosatom, is offering Brazil advanced uranium refining technology and new nuclear power plants. “We have a firm conviction that if modern technologies were used here, then natural uranium reserves in Brazil could be increased by many times, at least threefold but possibly five- or tenfold,” [...]
Faced with the possibility of decreasing crude oil prices, a crimp to his “petro-democracy” antics throughout the Americas, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez appears to be preparing a new political talisman to generate headlines and regional mischief: the nuclear power genie. With Russia’s cooperation, Chavez says he will start a civilian nuclear power program. If this announcement had been made [...]
Energy independence is a vital cornerstone of a nation’s economic security. So, when Brazil’s Mines and Energy Minister Edison Lobao said recently that Brazil aspires to build an additional 50 to 60 nuclear power plants in the next fifty years, it should not raise any flags or be cause for concern, right? Possibly.
Non-proliferation is not an [...]
This week, U.S. Department of Energy officials are meeting with counterparts in Brazil to discuss energy cooperation. At about the same time Brazil announced new construction to complete another civilian nuclear reactor, Brazil’s Energy Secretary said this week that Brazil could benefit from U.S. technology and experiences in dealing with nuclear waste. The U.S. should consider [...]
