Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

Erm...I don't know how much nuclear material you think there is in 3100 nuclear warheads, but by pure strength of numbers, I reckon each nation's stockpile could blow the other to kingdom come. And I'm sure that each side knows this. And so, by virtue of the fact that nobody wants to be blown to kingdom come for no reason, I doubt a WWIII would start just because we decreased the world's nuclear stockpile by about 1500 nukes.

Seeing as how Israel's demonstrated how good it is at not listening to the Obama administration anyway, why don't you go ahead?

But by your logic no matter how many nuclear weapons we have, Iran 'knows' that we won't use them against it. So what's the point of having more nuclear weapons if we have to spend all this money on monitoring and security, but never actually using them?

And your second to last sentence doesn't make sense.

*gasp* But then you're disrespecting the POTUS, which means disrespecting the USA! So that must mean according to your logic that you must be the USA's enemies! I see the light!

Also:

1) Barack Obama is not Muslim.
2) Barack Obama is not Arab.
3) I very much doubt Barack Obama is anti-Zionist.
4) I very much doubt Barack Obama is anti-Israeli, seeing as his vice-president visited your country. Of course, his view may have changed when your Prime Minister so crudely insulted Joe Biden.
5) In another world war, likely if America went to war the rest of Nato would go to war with it. That's how it becomes a WORLD war.
6) How is it possible to love terror?
7) Supporting Afghanistan has nothing to do with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, except in possibly the most marginal, irrelevant sense possible. Nor does it have anything to do with reducing the US' nuclear stockpile.
8) I imagine that if the US suddenly disappeared off the face of the Earth, Canada would suffer pretty bad. After all, the US and Canada only form the largest trading partnership in the world. Nothing to worry about, right?

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

Canada would be a third world nation overnight if the US suddenly disappeared.
Hits the nail right on the head. This is just another agreement in a long series of agreements that have only recently been "delayed" because of some disagreements over missile defence, as well as some bumpy relations between the US and Russia during Bush's two terms.

By destroying thousands of nuclear weapons, both sides can now put the money they would be spending on maintaining those weapons on many thousands more conventional weapons.

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

Between them, America and Russia have tens of thousands of nuclear warheads, and they're not all limited to the old-fashioned kiloton ranges of the ones used towards the end of WW2. They could quite literally wipe out all life on Earth several times over. They don't even have enough delivery systems to make use of them all.

Why have that many? You only need to wipe out all life on Earth just the once. Any more than that would be quite redundant.

It's a remnant of the cold war and nothing more. Nukes cost money not only to build, but to safely store and maintain them. They could save quite a lot of money if they decommissioned a few thousand of the things, and just save enough for the one mass extinction. It's quite a logical way of saving moolah if you ask me, and you'll still be able to wave around the multi-megaton-phallic-tube-of-death if you need to calm down some upstart renegade country in the future.

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

Obama have learned for two years in a Muslim school. He eclaimed that he haven't, but in his book he wrote that he have.
Also, for now, these are not all of the nuclear rockets, but Obama said that he want the whole world (the Western world, he doesn't care about Iran) to be "free of nukes".

The Islamic ideology is to conquer the world, and him being an Arab might explain his love towards Arab countries. Muslim fanatic fundamental extrimist Arab countries.

I don't mind the US "occupying" terrorist countries. After all, 9/11 is the terrorists' fault, so now they see the consequences. And Western countries do "replace" leaders of other countries, especially in Africa. I simply don't care about what the West does to evil countries. Now, whoever started the war between Russia and Georgia, did to because of greed. These wars have no meaning in my eyes, because both the US and Russia have nuclear weapons, and I know that they won't attack each other. When both the US and Russia have nuclear weapons, they allow themselves to do whatever they want to countries which don't have nukes. If Russia and the US won't have nukes, they might attack each other.

But why get rid of the nuclear weapons at all? I call US' and Russia's nukes "peace weapons". Why? Because both countries have other strong weapons, and both could pressure each other to use the nukes. Therefore, no one uses them. Iran's and North Korea's nukes I call "war weapons". Why? Because both countries will a) won't be nuked if they attack, and b) they don't have any strong armies, so their only way of war is by nuclear weapons. My country Israel could have used nuclear weapons, and we actually thought about it. But why haven't we done that? Because our normal armies are strong enough to win the wars, without using the nukes. And the enemies are scared of our nuclear weapons.

The plan is to decrease the world's nuclear weapons to zero. Obama and the US do what they do slowly, but eventually, they will cause the WWIII. Look at Russia. Everyone is afraid of them, so they allow themselves to do whatever they want. Now, when they are ready for war against everyone, they don't mind decreasing the nukes, because they still are a scary nation, and they still can do whatever they want. But without the nukes, they might also attack the US. They don't really have anything to lose, since there is a chance that they'll win, and will become the strongest and richest nation.

Do you really think that we're going to listen to the anti-Semitic president of the US, whose voters are even starting to turn against him? No at all. We will keep building in Jerusalem, and in Judea and Samaria, and in all of our country Israel, and some anti-Semite anti-Israeli anti-Zionist pro-Palestinian terror-lover won't tell us to stop. We don't tell you to stop building in your capital Washington, you don't tell us to stop building in our capital Jerusalem. The world may want to devide Jerusalem (just like Berlin, remember?), but it won't happen.

You need nuclear weapions to scare other nations. Iran, on the other hand, wants to use its nukes against Israel, and therefore they should not have any nuclear weapons. US' situation and Iran's situation are not the same. Russia won't attack you if you have nukes. Iran will.

Obama have learned in a Muslim school, in Indonesia. He is not 100% Arab, but he is an Arab. He have changed his name from Barry to Barack. He is proud of Islam. His Church is anti-Semitic, his priest is a holocause deniar, but Obama still goes there. My Prime-Minister didn't insult Biden at all. We just said that we're going to build more in Jerusalem, when Biden was here. We have every right to build in Jerusalem, so this Joe Biden should calm down. I didn't say that supporting Afganistan has anything to do with Israel and the Palestinians, or the nuclear weapons. It has something to do with him being an anti-Indian. India doesn't like Obama's support to their enemy Afganistan. It proves that Obama is a Muslim, by his ideology at least. Obama doesn't care about Canada. He doesn't care about any of his allies, because his real friends are the fanatic Muslims.

For money, they are ready to risk humanity. See (on of the many reasosn) why I hate Obama?

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

Just because he went to "Muslim school" (I don't know the exact details about it hence the quotes) does not imply that he is muslim. I went to a catholic school for 8 years. Does that mean I am catholic?

I also want some sauce on where Obama said he wants to get rid of all nuclear weapons.

Then why don't you write to your government and ask them to nuke Iran right now? I am getting sick of hearing about how much Iran wants to destroy Israel. If you are that worried about it, grow some balls and launch your nukes.

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

He describes his father as "raised a Muslim", but a "confirmed atheist" by the time his parents met, and his stepfather as "a man who saw religion as not particularly useful". Obama explained how, through working with black churches as a community organizer while in his twenties, he came to understand "the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change". He was baptized at the Trinity United Church of Christ in 1988 and was an active member there for two decades.

Hes no Muslim.

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

ICBMs were what kept the cold war cold, not nukes.

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

Just because I went to a Christian school for a couple of years does not mean I am automatically a Christian. Also, how could Obama be Arab?

But then, if neither have nukes, then if they do attack each other it will be using conventional warfare. And not to be callous about lives or anything, but in that case, so what?

This is what we have, regarding Israel and Nuclear weapons:

1) Israel won't disclose the extent of it's nuclear weapons program. In fact, Israel won't even publicly admit it has nuclear weapons.
2)Israel has not signed the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty.

Given those 2 points, I have to say that whatever your intentions, you're not expressing them very well. At least North Korea is willing to admit that it's developing nuclear weapons.

Oh, and also, I doubt North Korea would invade someone other than South Korea any time soon. They have a very large army, but I doubt it can project force any further than the Korean peninsula.

As you say, the process will happen slowly. So why blame Obama for this? He's neither the one that started, nor the one that finished the process. He's just somewhere in between. So why is his contribution so dire?

And I highly doubt that everyone is afraid of Russia because of nuclear weapons. Russia has very large natural resource reserves, which they leverage. That is why they are powerful. They won't really be better off by attacking the USA. Ever.

So then why are you so hesitant to attack Iran?

These are very interesting claims. Can we get some proof for this? And while you're at it, how about some evidence that all this is relevant?

The purpose Biden was there was to encourage peace talks. Whatever your view on the situation, you must be smart enough to realize that saying you're going to keep on going in Jerusalem is not very conducive to peace.

What?! What does India have to do with this now?

There's just so much bullshit here I don't know what to say. Refer to the rest of my posts.

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

Nuclear control should not be a significant issue we have better weapons than nukes now. I can hit a city with a biological or chemical warhead and cause problems for the target on the same magnitude as a nuclear weapon without causing damage to the physical infrastructure. And those chemical or biological weapons are much cheaper than a nuke, won't cause the same problems with radiation as a nuke, and are much easier to get a hold of.

The reason politicians talk about nuclear proliferation is because nukes are relatively easy to control; make the population fixate on one thing and lose track of the fact that the delivery system - the missile - is the more dangerous development. That the ease with which you can get a missile is greatly increased by the spread of computers and so on. Once you have a reasonably accurate ICBM it ultimately doesn't matter whether you have a nuke or not, there are other weapons on the NBC spectrum that are just as nasty.

So we have nuclear arms reduction but is it because we're becoming all fluffy or just because there's better stuff to spend our money on these days than a deterent that was out of date twenty years ago....

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement
 

Nukes work a bit faster though. They are probably more effective against military targets, command centres and logistics as well.
