New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START)

[candyman]

Story here...well kinda

Has anyone else been paying attention to this? If so have you heard or the sticky parts that are being left out of the "feel good" reports? This whole thing is giving me and others that I know a very uneasy feeling right now.

If you are going to investigate this make sure to look up the sticky parts with Russia, Israel, and you know those other countries like North Korea that are just trying to look hip in the world of large weapons. Also, take not of the types of weapons that are left out in a NUCLEAR proliferation treaty and take notice of how that affects things.

I just wanted to toss this out there because for one thing it is a big issue...also because there is so much self hatred in our country right not that seeing other countries causing problems may help distract us for a while. C'mon...there is ALOT of heat in some of the current threads here so lets try to direct some of it elsewhere.

Personally, I would've liked a fully verifiable 50% reduction (as opposed to the 30% this delivers), but it's a decent start.

My only problem with this is Russia has an out clause and we do not.
