Historic US-Russia nuclear disarmament. Obama's triumph

03/27/2010

The President of the USA Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev signed an agreement for a limit of 1,550 warheads (a decrease of 74% The Start of 1991 compared to the agreement) and 700 carriers (a half-life than the old Start II expired last December). The Treaty was signed on 8 April in Prague a few days to go before a summit held in Washington from April 12, on the issue of nuclear non-proliferation which will see leaders of 40 nations gathered in the U.S. capital

WASHINGTON. Member U.S. and Russia announced yesterday it had reached after a year of negotiations, a historic agreement on limiting strategic arms, which confirms the reset in the relations between the two countries and launched a warning to nations like Iran and North Korea on determination of Washington and Moscow in the fight against nuclear proliferation. But it remains uncertain that the agreement will be reflected on the missile shield.

President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev will sign the treaty in Prague on 8 April in a ceremony that will be full of symbolic references. In the capital of the former Warsaw Pact country, now a member of NATO, the occupant of the White House announced on April 5 last year his vision of a world without nuclear weapons. A long-term goal to be reached gradually, in small steps, starting with the reduction of nuclear arsenals of both superpowers calls to "lead by example."

The agreement reached by the U.S. and Russia, the largest in two decades, provides a limit of 1,550 warheads (a decrease of 74% over the Start I agreement of 1991) and 700 carriers (a half-life than the old Start II ended in December last year).

"With this agreement the United States and Russia, the two largest nuclear powers in the world, sent out a clear message about their intention to lead" the fight against nuclear proliferation, said President Obama.

For the occupant of the White House this week was the most triumphant of his presidency: Tuesday signed the historic health care reform (his priorities in the agenda of the internal problems) and yesterday announced the most concrete success of his foreign policy.

"It took patience, it took perseverance, but we never gave up," Obama said yesterday, referring to negotiations with Moscow but also to health care reform.

The signing of the Treaty on 8 April in Prague a few days to go before a summit held in Washington from April 12, on the issue of nuclear non-proliferation which will see leaders of 40 nations gathered in the U.S. capital. A summit where Obama, as he said yesterday, a White House official. "Will show the facts and not just words."

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stressed that the nuclear deal throws a clear signal to countries like Iran and North Korea on the determination of the U.S. in combating nuclear proliferation. From the Kremlin has come to the observation that "the new treaty marks a new level of cooperation between Russia and the United States in the development of new strategic relations."

From Moscow has also stressed that the agreement includes a link to "legally binding" between strategic weapons to attack (just as the missiles) and the defense (like the missile shield). An interpretation rejected by the White House: the agreement does not contain constraints on developing anti-missile shield. At the root of the divergence is the fact that both Obama and Medvedev must obtain the ratification of their parliaments before the treaty can enter into force. Obama needs the vote of 67 senators out of 100, then also has to convince at least a dozen Republican senators to vote for the agreement.

"I hope to form a strong bipartisan support for the ratification of the treaty," Obama said yesterday. But to achieve this it is necessary that the agreement does not threaten the shield, which has its own strongest supporters among Republicans.

After getting the reset relations with Moscow now Obama has called for a more difficult undertaking: the reset of relations with the Republicans after the fierce battle for health reform.
