America's stance on nuclear power is utter hypocrisy.
It is hypocracy only if you believe that we hold the same position that other countries hold. Like it or not we are the worlds military superpower and nukes are part of that deal. The deal with Russia leaves out the little tidbit that we have been paying to decommission russian nukes as well as our own, not only because they have been broke for decades but so we know it is getting done. However the truth is that these treaties are a joke in general. Israel wont even acknowledge that they have bombs let alone how many. Do you really think China accurately provides its numbers? India and Pakistan arent even members of the nuclear non prolif treaty.
