US and Russian leaders hail nuclear arms treaty




US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, have signed a landmark nuclear arms treaty in the Czech capital, Prague.

The treaty commits the former Cold War enemies to each reduce the number of deployed strategic warheads to 1,550 - 30% lower than the previous ceiling.

Mr Obama said it was an important milestone, but "just one step on a longer journey" of nuclear disarmament.

Mr Medvedev said the deal would create safer conditions throughout the world.

If ratified by lawmakers in both countries, the treaty will replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (Start) of 1991, which has expired.

    ya the main reason for is for Iran's Nuke Bomb making Coz they say they make Electricity but they both has a fear that they are making Bomb's there...

    Coz Both the Country's Suffer Form Terrorism Since 1988 When The Soviet War in Afghanistan And Russia also Suffers From Chechnya Terrorism..
    They Both Don't Want to take A risk by Letting Iran Have Nuke Bombs.. if they make they both are in trouble..

    + for the outside they act as enemy's but in the iraq & Afghanistan war they both run a Good Business For Oil Coz for both They Give free oil for weapons..

    Obama's wanted to convince Iran to abandon to the Nuclear through negotiation :P

    Teheran's answer was clear :D So it's clear the reaction of Obama towards Iran the "greatest" powers on Earth trying to demonstrate something positive to each other :D
    It's obvious that none of them would start to attack the other :P

    US is literally scared of Russia, and would say Russia is too :D

    Anyhow, what's in their hands is enough to cause the end of the world :D 3rd WW but We should not forget the rest of the countries :S

    yes, our president managed to keep some of the most powerful countries in the world with us, that's one of the reasons why US kept its mouth bit silent without barking much during and after the war :D

    Obama is a person with a bit of brain, while I still presume that if John McCain was at his place, he'd have caused the 3rd WW.

    Remember Sarah Palin talked about attacking Russia during the election?

    The Relationship of the United States with Russia

    Background:

    From 1922 to 1991, Russia was the largest part of the Soviet Union. Through most the final half of the 20th Century, the United States and the Soviet Union (known also as the USSR)were the principal actors in an epic battle, referred to as a Cold War, for global domination. This battle was, in the broadest sense, a struggle between communist and capitalist forms of economy and social organization. Even though Russia has now nominally adopted democratic and capitalist structures, Cold War history still colors U.S.-Russian relations today.

    World War II:
    Prior to entering World War II, the United States gave the Soviet Union and other countries millions of dollars worth of weapons and other support for their fight against Nazi Germany. The two nations became allies in the liberation of Europe. At war's end, countries occupied by Soviet forces, including a large part of Germany, were dominated by Soviet influence. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill described this territory as being behind an Iron Curtain. The division provided the framework for the Cold War which ran from roughly 1947 to 1991.


    Fall of the Soviet Union:

    Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev lead a series of reforms which eventually lead to the dissolution of the Soviet empire into a variety of independent states. In 1991, Boris Yeltsin became the first democratically elected Russian president. The dramatic change led to an overhaul of U.S. foreign and defense policy.

    New Cooperation:
    The end of the Cold War gave the United States and Russia new opportunities to cooperate. Russia took over the permanent seat (with full veto power) previously held by the Soviet Union at the United Nations Security Council. The Cold War had created gridlock in the council, but the new arrangement meant a rebirth in U.N. action. Russia was also invited to join the informal G-7 gathering of the world's largest economic powers making it the G-8. The United States and Russia also found ways to cooperate in securing "loose nukes" in former Soviet territory, although there is still much to be done on this issue.

    Old Frictions:
    The United States and Russia have still found plenty over which to clash. The United States has pushed hard for further political and economic reforms in Russia, while Russia bristles at what they see as meddling in internal affairs. The United States and it allies in NATO have invited new, former Soviet, nations to join the alliance in the face of deep Russian opposition. Russia and the United States have clashed over how best to settle the final status of Kosovo and how to treat Iran's efforts to gain nuclear weapons. Most recently, Russia's military action in Georgia highlighted the rift in U.S.-Russian relations.

    Well, it's not a problem which will effect US and Russia only, but this will have a HUGE impact on the whole world. If US had started to attack Russia, I think China ( since it's comunist ) and India maybe would have supported Russia + most of the south american countries do simply hate the USA ( they have reasons to do so ) would have joined, Iran, etc etc...
    US would have got its buts kicked. They are jst playing a nice game, Obama is clever :D
