Russia is trying to expand the coast and island of the nuclear states, away from the United States 'limited' acceptance of reality. The US is tactically interested in discussing with Moscow alone on reduction of nuclear missiles while Russia believes the reality has gone beyond the Cold War strategic balance.
The response of Russia to Barack Obama's proposal on the reduction of missiles in their nuclear arsenals is to tell the US to take note of the contemporary international order in nuclear distribution and arrangement.
Russia says it would discuss
further strategic nuclear arms reduction if all countries possessing nuclear
weapons were involved, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. He added
that this includes not only the five members of the “nuclear club”, but all nations
with the nuclear capability.
The comment came after US President Barack Obama
suggested that Russia and the US scrap one third of their strategic nuclear
arsenals and possibly dismantle tactical nuclear weapons.
The US, Russia, the
UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea officially have atomic
weapons at the moment, and Israel is widely believed to have a secret nuclear
arsenal. Iran is speculated to be building its own though Tehran has strongly denied any interest in such missiles.
