FYRP: The Non-Lugar Program

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Department of State | Nunn-Lugar is dead. Long live non-Lugar. Here, have a fact sheet.

Bloomberg | Wait.  So Iranian President-elect Rohani is ready to suspend enrichment of 20 percent uranium (for sanction relaxation, of course).  He is ready to fulfill one the US’s major demands?  Sounds great!  Or way too good to be true.  Although suspicions are not unreasonable, some are more hopeful.

Foreign Policy | Forget care, says Christian Caryl.  Rohani’s election doesn’t matter.

All Things Nuclear | Lisbeth Gronlund feels President Obama could have gone further in Berlin. The Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate may not have measured up to Kingston Reif’s preferred nuclear policy speech, either. Plus, Helle Dale was underwhelmed at the non-Reaganness of it all.

White House | The Prague speech.

Department of Defense | The DoD released a report on the United States’ nuclear employment strategy.  (The White House also released a fact sheet.) $20 in expenses? Did they run out of paper clips in 2011?

38 North | Glorious General is continuing construction in the Hwanggumpyong Economic Zone.  I wonder if another Rodman tour will stop there.

Nukes of Hazard | Look, a handy list of nuclear amendments offered on the 2014 NDAA.

We hope you enjoyed this edition of FYRP.
