The Chinese have called it their Underground Great Wall a vast network of tunnels designed to hide their countrys increasingly sophisticated missile and nuclear arsenal.
For the past three years, a small band of obsessively dedicated students at Georgetown University has called it something else: homework.
Led by their hard-charging professor, a former top Pentagon official, they have translated hundreds of documents, combed through satellite imagery, obtained restricted Chinese military documents and waded through hundreds of gigabytes of online data.
The result of their effort? The largest body of public knowledge about thousands of miles of tunnels dug by the Second Artillery Corps, a secretive branch of the Chinese military in charge of protecting and deploying its ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads.

But the strongest condemnation has come from nonproliferation experts who worry that the study could fuel arguments for maintaining nuclear weapons in an era when efforts are being made to reduce the worlds post-Cold War stockpiles....

One must ask about the intelligence, competence, and yes, loyalties of so-called “non-proliferation experts” who can actually “condemn” a study which could make us better informed on such a critically important subject.
I concur with your observation: These so-called “non-proliferation” experts are, bluntly, nothing more than surrender monkeys tot he socialist causes they love and believe in. See, to them, NOTHING that a socialist state does can be wrong, and NOTHING that a democrat/republican/capitalist state does can be right. And these so-called experts and internationalists ARE who Hillary and Obama promote and populate the State Dept and DOD and DOE with ....
