WASHINGTON – The U.S. and Russia reached a breakthrough agreement Wednesday for a historic treaty to reduce the nuclear arsenals of the former Cold War rivals, the most significant pact in a generation and an important milestone in the decades-long quest to lower the risk of global nuclear war.

After long and trying negotiations, President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are to sign the treaty in two weeks in Prague, once final technical details are worked out, officials in Washington and Moscow said. The accord is expected to cut the number of long-range nuclear weapons held by each side to about 1,500, and it raises hopes for further disarmament in the years ahead.

hummmmm!! It seems to me that we are closer to nuclear warfare at this moment than at any time since to Cuban fiasco.Think Iran, NK and Pakistan for openers.

In 2002, Bush and Putin signed a nuclear weapons reduction agreement (alternately called SORT or The Treaty of Moscow), by which the USA reduced its nuclear arsenal to about 50% of the 2001 level. The USA goal was achieved by 2007, and Bush hoped for further reductions of about 15% by 2012. Both the writers of the article and the posters on this thread seem unaware of those facts.

Not at all — not even a little bit but one thing I think we have learned is that Hillary would have been almost as bad as ZERO.
