Missile
defence is about control. Control of warfare, control in peace,
control of space. Its aim, and the wider aim of space dominance,
is "full spectrum dominance" - a US military term meaning
dominance of the land, sea, air, space and information.The
system threatens to provoke international instability, arms proliferation,
a space arms race and will fuel the ideology of first strikes. The
system is a threat to peace and security, not a path to it.
The
UK, with two US air force bases in Yorkshire vital to the system,
is key to US plans for a vast, global missile defence system. Yorkshire
CND campaigns regionally and nationally to educate, raise awareness
and oppose missile defence and UK involvement in any missile defence
system. |
