The deal, which officials said could be ready to sign in two months, would cut each side’s nuclear arsenal to between 1,500 and 1,675 operationally deployed warheads — down from 2,200 on the American side and 2,800 in Russia, which has also kept an unknown number in reserve.
Both countries would also commit to deeper cuts [...]

Iran’s retaliation for an Israeli strike is likely to be fierce, protracted, and multi-pronged. Iran is likely to bombard Israel with its Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missiles, possibly armed with chemical, biological, or radiological warheads. Such a missile barrage would amount to a terror campaign, similar to the “war of the cities” during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq [...]

President Barack Obama naively suggests the world can be free of nuclear weapons if the U.S. and Russia commit to arms reduction.
Obama is negotiating a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia that could reduce the U.S. and Russian operational nuclear warhead arsenals from over 2,500 to 1,500 warheads each.
The treaty assumes we can [...]

I consider Obama’s goal of a world without nuclear weapons to be extremely dangerous. This plan is beyond merely bad. It is going to get you and me killed.
We have the world’s greatest conventional army. Nuclear weapons are the great equalizer. Now why would other countries want to give that up?
Surely Russia will play [...]

The first step under the Global Zero plan would reduce those arsenals to 1,000 warheads each by 2018, and to just 500 warheads each by 2021. At the same time, the world’s other nuclear powers would freeze their nuclear stockpiles until 2018, followed by proportional reductions until 2021.
Global Zero’s cuts would be even deeper than [...]
