United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement BBC News - US and Russia announce deal to cut nuclear weapons The two nations, being represented by American President Obama and Russian President Medvedev, will sign a new agreement to replace the previous Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) which had gone through two agreements, the first in 1991 (between the US and USSR) and a second signed in 1993 (Between US and Russia following the collapse of the USSR). There was an attempt at a third START, but it was killed due to a lack of interest in the 1990s The proposal comes after a series of talks between Russia and the United States regarding their nuclear stockpiles. Obama and Medvedev are planning to sign this on April 8 in Prague, after they are expected to be ratified by the US Senate and Russian Duma. The agreement has the two powers agreeing to slash their nuclear stocks and limit to 1,550 warheads. Currently it is estimated that the US has 2,000 deployed strategic nuclear weapons, with Russia having at least 2,500. If the two nations uphold their agreement, it would see Russia cutting its current stockpile by 30%, and the United States by 25%. The United States and Russia have been getting into disagreements over the approach to Iran as well as the United States's attempts to install missile shields in the past and current. Signing the agreement in Prague, where it was a focal point of the missile-shield debate, is no coincidence in my opinion. |

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement You all do realize that getting rid of the nuclear weapons will probably lead to a WWIII, right? Remember the cold war? Why didn't it actually happen? Because there were nuclear weapons. The moment the US and Russia will have no nuclear weapons, Russia will most likely attack some weak countries, like Georgia and Ukraine, which will eventually lead to a war in Europe. Nuclear weapons may be used in a war (only once on only two cities), but you all just don't realize how many wars it actually saved. Sure, countries like Iran and North Korea should not have any nuclear weapons, but in Western countries, nuclear weapons are actually neccesery. Obama... It is said, 10 geniuses cannot fix the work of one idiot. What Obama does to the world, and especially in the US, is pure damage. I was going to create a topic about the subject, but as you all already know what is my opinion about Hussein Obama, I didn't do it. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/st...ums/1/6685.jpg |
Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement Reducing the nuclear stockpile is good news. Obama's call for a nuclear free world is bad news. Nukes are a deterrent and are a defense if giant asteroid is going to hit earth. |

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement Alex, we're not talking about getting rid of all of them. Just most of them. Do you have any idea how many nukes we have? That, plus the fact that it takes years to properly dismantle a nuke. We will likely always have nukes. We're just trying to lower our stores. Now, what we should really be worried about is the Space Monkey's. Those little bastards are planning to take over and launch all the nukes. |

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement The reason we don't attack North Korea is because if we attack, they have 10,000+ artillery tubes aimed at South Korea. We won't suffer the direct reprecutions. They will. I'm not exactly sure about Iran though. Some else will have to awnser that for you. |

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement What a tool. The US and Russia have been dismantling nukes for fucking decades and the second Obama continues the trend some people act like he's courting Armeggedon. What the hell is happening to the pub these days? besides, its a gesture. If i point a Glock at your head and agree to remove a bullet from the magazine you gonna feel any safer with the other 17 still there? |
Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement Quote:
North Korea wants to fight South Korea anyway, so what you have said doesn't make any sense. If the US will start a war with NK, and will destroy NK's weapons, North Korea will have less weapons to attack the South. If the US will let them choose when the war will come, South Korea will be hurt much more. Quote:

This does not help or hurt the safety of the world. Instead of being able to destroy the world 8-10 times over they can only destroy it 5-7 times over. This agreement does not limit the nuclear stockpiles of other nations who are US allies(UK, france) |

Anyways, as someone else said, this nuclear arms reduction thing has been going on for a while, why do people think the world is going to end because Obama is part of it? He's probably giving US nukes to al-Qaeda, because he clearly has a lot of strong relations with them, being a Hussein and all. |

And your second to last sentence doesn't make sense. Quote:
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? |

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 Quote:
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. |

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". Quote:

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. |

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. Quote:
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. Quote:

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 Quote:
Nukes were a first strike weapon back in the days when the concept of a first strike still seemed feasable. But the advent of radar, optical sensors, satellites and computers means a first strike is no longer a viable doctrine and with the loss of that doctrine the niche for the nuke died as well. |

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement To say that Canada would become a third world nation overnight is quite a bit of a stretch, but the Canadian economy would be significantly affected by the lack of trade with the United States. Odds are that after a while trade from other countries would increase, although prices for goods may increase slightly due to the transportation costs rising a bit. Schofield, to say that you have "all the natural resources you need to sustain a country", you're forgetting about the issues of allocation and the workings of a capitalist society (and all of the benefits trading with the outside usually brings to a nation). It isn't enough that you aren't starving, it's having enough so that you don't have to ever worry about being hungry. North Korea has enough resources to exist as a nation, but misuse of those resources results in widespread malnutrition and poverty. How many Canadians are willing to take a significant hit to their quality of life? As much as I like self-sufficiency, it doesn't lend itself well to the nicer things in life. |
Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement Quote:
Where's the 'risk' here, exactly? Do you think a nasty little renegade country is going to sit there, read the news, and think to themselves, "HA! America can now only wipe out the world ONCE! It is time to invade, for we only fear being completely wiped out FIVE TIMES OR MORE! MWUHAHAAAAA!" No. They're still going to be fearful of a multimegaton ICBM being rammed straight into their lavish palaces. |

And he did said once that he wishes a nuclear-free world. That is one of his democrat liberal (more like socialist) missions. Quote:
And we have enough balls (we attack Iraq and Syria once), it's just that we have a lot of pressure on us, from the world, and from the Iran-Syria-Turkey-Hezbollah's direction. "We don't don't attack - we don't have balls. We attack - we are war criminals." That's pretty much the world's policy about us. Quote:

I hate Obama so much, and I told you many reasosn, I want to say something that I am not allowed to say about him. So I will just think it, and you all will have to guess what it is. Seriously tough, his policies are very harmful. Quote:
Quote:
And NK may not invade anyone, but you don't want them to have nukes, this is very dangerous. Quote:
And if Russia destroys the US, it will control everything. Until the end of the human civilization, as I already said. My country, Israel, the "the US' best friend", has the technologies to have a world with no oil, so we will stop giving money to the Arab Muslim terror-supporter countries. With no US or Israel, the world will still eat the Arabs' oil until it will end, then the world will be left with no energy. By not being dependent on oil, you actually save Earth. Israel (and, eventually, the US) has the technologies for that, so you should think about it next time you scream "boycot Israel blah blah blah!!!". Quote:
It's the work of Ehud Barak, if not him, Iran's nuclear factories were gone long time ago. Spoiler: Quote:

Second, many other countries tell how bad the US is, but they don't do anything, unlike Iran, that actually tries to destroy Israel, and later the US. North Korea deals with local countries. Iran wants to destroy Israel, which is not a local country. Also, Iran is Muslim and NK is Communist, as much as crazy both are, they are also different. And the fact that they share weapons is just for now, they might as well to turn against each other eventually. Also, South Korea won't attack North Korea. Israel might attack Iran, and probably will. So again, they are not on the same map, as you claim. Quote:

Re: United States and Russia agree to new nuclear arms reduction agreement I think this has gone on long enough. One thing, though, Alex. Barack Hussein Obama has a black father and a white mother. He is as much white as he is black, making anti-white racism a bit difficult for him. Although one might argue a Muslim connection through his black father or his stepfather, one cannot argue an Arab connection through either of his parents. |
