nUSANTARa Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama sedang mempertimbangkan menawarkan Rusia peluang untuk melanjutkan START perjanjian baru mengenai penggunaan senjata nuklear. Dia mahu memastikan perjanjian itu berpanjangan supaya pentadbiran penggantinya tidak boleh berpotensi membatalkannya.

Perjanjian ‘The New START’ yang ditandatangani pada April 2010 di Prague dan berkuat kuasa 10 bulan kemudian, tidak akan tamat sehingga Februari 2021. Perjanjian itu menyatakan bahawa musuh Perang Dingin, Rusia dan Amerika Syarikat, perlu mengurangkan senjata nuklear strategik mereka untuk 1550 setiap belah menjelang 2018.

Outgoing Obama wants extension of Russia nuclear treaty to thwart future changes - report

US President Barack Obama is considering offering Russia the chance to extend the New START treaty regarding the deployment of nuclear weapons. He wants to make sure the pact is prolonged so his successor’s administration cannot potentially cancel it.

The New START treaty, which was signed in April 2010 in Prague and came into effect 10 months later, is not due to expire until February 2021. The pact states that the Cold War foes, Russia and the US, must reduce their strategic nuclear weapons to 1,550 per side by 2018.

Walau bagaimanapun, Obama dilaporkan mahu menawarkan Moscow peluang untuk melanjutkan perjanjian 5 tahun lagi, sedar hakikat bahawa pentadbiran yang akan menggantikan beliau mungkin mahu meninggalkan pakatan itu, lapor Washington Post.

"Seperti yang kita memasuki bahagian terakhir presiden Obama, ia adalah bernilai mengingati bahawa dia datang ke pejabat dengan komitmen peribadi untuk mengejar diplomasi dan kawalan senjata," kata Timbalan Penasihat Keselamatan Negara, Ben Rhodes kepada Persatuan Kawalan Senjata pada 6 Jun, seperti yang dipetik oleh akhbar.

"Saya boleh berjanji kepada anda hari ini bahawa Presiden Obama terus mengkaji beberapa cara dia boleh memajukan agenda Prague sepanjang 7 bulan akan datang. Secara ringkasnya, kerja kita belum selesai isu-isu ini, "katanya.

However, Obama reportedly wants to offer Moscow the chance to extend the treaty by another five years, conscious of the fact that the administration that will succeed him may want to abandon the pact, the Washington Post reports. 

“As we enter the homestretch of the Obama presidency, it’s worth remembering that he came into office with a personal commitment to pursuing diplomacy and arms control,” deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told the Arms Control Association on June 6, as cited by the newspaper. 

“I can promise you today that President Obama is continuing to review a number of ways he can advance the Prague agenda over the course of the next seven months. Put simply, our work is not finished on these issues,” he added.

Pentadbiran Obama juga telah menyatakan bahawa ia mahu mengambil langkah-langkah untuk memastikan bahawa senjata nuklear Amerika Syarikat tidak dimodenkan dalam jangka masa panjang, yang kosnya kira-kira $355 billion sehingga sekitar 2023, seorang tokoh yang akhirnya boleh melonjak kepada lebih $ 1 trilion.

Ini adalah sebahagian dari U-turn untuk Presiden Amerika Syarikat, yang pentadbiran pada 2014 memberitahu Pentagon ia diperlukan untuk mengetepikan wang untuk 12 kapal selam peluru berpandu baru, sehingga 100 pengebom baru dan 400 peluru berpandu darat, yang boleh sama ada dibina dari awal, atau membaik pulih model sedia ada.

Kenyataan tentang memerlukan untuk menaik taraf senjata nuklear Amerika Syarikat juga bercanggah ucapan beliau dibuat pada bulan April 2009, di mana Obama menggariskan impiannya untuk planet yang bebas daripada senjata nuklear dalam satu ucapan di Prague.

"Kita mesti bersatu untuk hak rakyat di mana-mana untuk hidup bebas daripada rasa takut dalam abad ke-21," kata Obama pada masa itu. "Sebagai sebuah kuasa nuklear, sebagai satu-satunya kuasa nuklear telah menggunakan senjata nuklear, Amerika Syarikat mempunyai tanggungjawab moral untuk bertindak. Kita tidak boleh berjaya dalam usaha ini sahaja, tetapi kita boleh membawa ia; kita boleh memulakannya."

Lebih 7 tahun sejak membuat ucapan di Prague, nampaknya seperti Obama sekali lagi komited untuk melaksanakan apa yang dia katakan, walaupun pembangkang yang dihadapinya di Kongres dan Senat.

"Ia cukup jelas agenda Prague telah terhenti," Joe Cirincione, presiden Kumpulan Wang Ploughshares, yang menyokong kumpulan Membela penularan nuklear, memberitahu Washington Post. "Tidak ada apa-apa yang presiden adakah itu tidak dikritik oleh pihak lawan, jadi dia juga mungkin melakukan apa yang dia mahu. Dia teruja hari-hari terakhirnya di pejabatnya."

Obama’s administration has also stated that it wants to take steps to make sure that the US’ nuclear arsenal is not modernized in the long term, which would cost about $355 billion until around 2023, a figure that could eventually balloon to over $1 trillion.

This was somewhat of a U-turn for the US president, whose administration in 2014 told the Pentagon it needed to set aside money for 12 new missile submarines, up to 100 new bombers and 400 land-based missiles, which can either be built from scratch, or refurbish existing models.

The statement about needing to upgrade the US nuclear arsenal also contradicted a speech he made in April 2009, in which Obama outlined his dream of a planet free from nuclear weapons in a speech in Prague.

“We must stand together for the right of people everywhere to live free from fear in the 21st century,” Obama said at the time. “As a nuclear power, as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act. We cannot succeed in this endeavor alone, but we can lead it; we can start it.”

Over seven years since making that speech in Prague, it seems as though Obama is once again committed to implementing what he said, despite opposition that he is facing in Congress and the Senate.

“It’s pretty clear the Prague agenda has stalled,” Joe Cirincione, president of the Ploughshares Fund, which supports groups advocating for nuclear nonproliferation, told the Washington Post. “There isn’t anything that the president does that isn’t criticized by his opponents, so he might as well do what he wants. He’s relishing his last days in office.”

Menunjukkan apa pertempuran Obama menghadapi, dalam Jun yang 2 terkemuka Republikan menggesa Obama untuk melekat dengan rancangan pemodenan nuklear.

Memetik komen yang dibuat oleh Rhodes pada 6 Jun, Senat Angkatan Bersenjata Chair John McCain dan Senat Hubungan Luar Chair Bob Corker berkata bahawa presiden terikat dengan komitmen beliau dibuat dalam Kongres.

"Kita bimbang Mr. Rhodes 'komen boleh pertanda usaha, seperti khabar angin' panel Blue Ribbon', untuk mengkaji semula program pemodenan yang anda berjanji untuk membiayai selama yang anda adalah presiden, yang jelas bercanggah janji peribadi kepada Senat dan keperluan ketenteraan, "Corker dan McCain menulis dalam surat yang dikeluarkan pada 17 Jun, menurut ‘News Pertahanan’.

Showing just what a battle Obama faces, in June two leading Republican urged Obama to stick with the nuclear modernization plans.

Citing comments made by Rhodes on June 6, the Senate Armed Services Chair John McCain and Senate Foreign Relations Chair Bob Corker said that the president is bound by commitments he made in Congress.

“We are concerned Mr. Rhodes' comments may presage efforts, such as a rumored ‘Blue Ribbon’ panel, to review the modernization program you promised to fund for as long as you are president, which would obviously contradict your personal promise to the Senate and military necessity,” Corker and McCain wrote in a letter released on June 17, according to Defense News.
