Il est aujourd’hui \u00e9vident qu’une s\u00e9rieuse \u00e9volution a lieu concernant le syst\u00e8me BMDE. En plus et \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 des Russes, mais en ce moment de fa\u00e7on bien plus intense que les Russes, deux nouveaux adversaires du syst\u00e8me BMDE (anti-missiles US en Europe) sont apparus.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t Le Congr\u00e8s US, avec un argument nouveau, particuli\u00e8rement inqui\u00e9tant pour le Pentagone : les missiles BMDE d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s en Europe servent \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre les USA, pas l’Europe. La r\u00e9action du Pentagone a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s vive, montrant par l\u00e0 la sensibilit\u00e9 de la bureaucratie US \u00e0 un argument qui, juge-t-elle, risquerait de co\u00fbter le soutien des Europ\u00e9ens au programme. L’information, en deux temps (accusation, riposte du DoD), est d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e par Defense News<\/em> le 19 novembre<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abA spokesman for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency said missile defense bases planned for Poland and the Czech Republic are, indeed, designed specifically to defend most of Europe against long-range Iranian missiles, and are not intended mainly to protect the United States.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbRick Lehner, spokesman for the Missile Defense Agency, launched an e-mail response to statements by Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif., who had said the European missile defense site is intended mainly to protect the United States, not Europe.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbResponding to an article posted on Defensenews.com, Lehner said, deployment of interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar in the Czech Republic is designed specifically to defend most of Europe. He said the system would have a redundant capability to defend the U.S.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbTauscher, chairman of the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee, told a gathering of defense reporters on Nov. 8 that 10 missile interceptors planned for Poland and a radar unit for the Czech Republic are to protect the United States against a long-range system that will emerge from Iran sometime between 2012 and 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbWhen asked by a reporter, So it’s not really to protect Europe? Tauscher replied, No, and they now know that. She said more than 60 percent of the public in Poland and the Czech Republic oppose the missile defense bases.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbIn response to another question, Tauscher said the European missile defense site is meant to protect the United States. Now, can it protect Europe? Yes, but not southern Europe and only against long-range systems.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Cet argument de Ellen Tauscher (le BMDE est fait pour d\u00e9fendre les USA, pas l’Europe) est de plus en plus populaire au Congr\u00e8s \u00e0 majorit\u00e9 d\u00e9mocrate. Il permet aux d\u00e9mocrates, d’une part de tenter de reprendre compl\u00e8tement le contr\u00f4le du programme g\u00e9n\u00e9ral des anti-missiles (BMD), en l’inscrivant compl\u00e8tement dans le dispositif de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 national; d’autre part, il leur permet d’esp\u00e9rer un freinage du programme (ce qui est leur but secret, pour contrer les r\u00e9publicains totalement engag\u00e9s dans le programme) en favorisant une situation o\u00f9 ce freinage viendrait d’une hostilit\u00e9 ext\u00e9rieure et non pas \u00e0 cause de leurs propres r\u00e9ticences, \u00e0 eux d\u00e9mocrates (crainte de para\u00eetre soft<\/em> sur la d\u00e9fense en ann\u00e9e \u00e9lectorale). Bien entendu, cela ne fait en aucun cas l’affaire des Europ\u00e9ens partisans du BMDE, qui ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 bien du mal \u00e0 vendre le syst\u00e8me \u00e0 leur opinion publique, justement \u00e0 cause de ce soup\u00e7on que leur v\u00e9ritable mission est de prot\u00e9ger les seuls USA alors que les USA sont si impopulaires en Europe. C’est l\u00e0 o\u00f9 on voit le caract\u00e8re incontr\u00f4lable et tr\u00e8s difficilement r\u00e9ductible de l’argument. Tauscher dit au Pentagone et aux Europ\u00e9ens partisans du BMDE: voyez, votre syst\u00e8me est impopulaire en Europe parce que les Europ\u00e9ens savent qu’il ne sera pas l\u00e0 pour les d\u00e9fendre; les Europ\u00e9ens partisans du BMDE et le Pentagone disent: voyez le r\u00e9sultat (l’impopularit\u00e9 du syst\u00e8me) des d\u00e9clarations de ceux qui, avant vous et comme vous, ont affirm\u00e9 que le BMDE ne d\u00e9fendrait pas l’Europe, et vous allez encore aggraver cette tendance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Dans les deux cas, c’est affirmer un d\u00e9couplage psychologique entre les USA et l’Europe qui prend comme donn\u00e9e objective politique fondamental l’anti-am\u00e9ricanisme des Europ\u00e9ens. Cet anti-am\u00e9ricanisme est en train de devenir une donn\u00e9e accept\u00e9e et contraignante de l’\u00e9volution de la situation du syst\u00e8me BMDE, et, d’une fa\u00e7on plus g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, par l’encha\u00eenement psychologique des contraintes qu’impose ce syst\u00e8me et de l’importance outranci\u00e8re que lui accordent les USA, des rapports strat\u00e9giques USA-Europe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Dans cette circonstance, la position<\/a> \u00e9galement ambigu\u00eb, attentiste, voire d’une certaine hostilit\u00e9 par rapport au BMDE de la nouvelle \u00e9quipe polonaise se trouve confort\u00e9e. La m\u00e9fiance vis-\u00e0-vis du syst\u00e8me BMDE grandit. L’argument tend \u00e0 n’\u00eatre plus seulement du domaine des compensations US, comme le r\u00e9clamait il y a deux mois<\/a> Sikorski (mais a-il chang\u00e9?). L’\u00e9volution est potentiellement d’autant plus nette que la logique de la nouvelle \u00e9quipe polonaise est en train de passer de BMDE-lien de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la Pologne avec les USA, \u00e0 BMDE-contribution polonaise \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 europ\u00e9enne… Mais si le BMDE ne sert pas \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre l’Europe? D’o\u00f9 un ton plus dur du ministre polonais de la d\u00e9fense dans une interview (voir UPI\/SpaceWar.com<\/em> du 21 novembre<\/a>), o\u00f9 le discours ressemble plut\u00f4t aux pr\u00e9misses d’un recul tr\u00e8s marqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe Bush administration’s plans to build and deploy an anti-ballistic missile interceptor base in Poland took another body blow Monday when Poland’s new defense minister said in a newspaper interview he opposed the idea. Defense Minister Bogdan Klich told the newspaper Dziennik in an interview published Monday his government was going reassess the issue. That could throw a spanner in the negotiating process that had begun between Washington and the previous Polish government led by Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbKlich’s comments were particularly remarkable as they were published only three days after the new Polish government led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk came to power.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbNor does it appear that Klich was shooting from the hip. Tusk had made one of the planks of his successful election campaign a determination to take a more independent and critical stance toward Washington than the strongly pro-American Kaczynski did.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbTusk takes office riding high with a 55 percent approval rating in recent polls, and with a broad mandate to bring in sweeping social reforms to bring the country into line with the norm in its more prosperous Western European partners in the European Union.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbBut Klich’s comments are a body blow to the Bush administration’s grand strategy on dealing with Central Europe. A prime building block in that strategy was the plan to build the ABM facility that would guard the United States and Western Europe against the future potential threat of nuclear-capable intermediate-range and intercontinental ballistic missiles that could be fired from Iran.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 22 novembre 2007 \u00e0 15H58<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Il est aujourd’hui \u00e9vident qu’une s\u00e9rieuse \u00e9volution a lieu concernant le syst\u00e8me BMDE.
