U.S and Russia Seek New Arms Deal for 2009

Amanda Dominguez

There have been recent talks between Russia and the U.S over the development of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). The two START treaties that have proceeded these further talks have been making slow but steady attempts at disarmament. It seems as if there are beginning to really take disarmament to a new level and the warming relations between Russia and the U.S are definitely helping. Although there are still admitted difference on both sides, the willingness to compromise is there. I think this is going to be one of our biggest foreign policy agendas next to the wars in the Middle East. It will be interesting to see where our talks with Russia lead and how this will help the United States in our attempts at opening our doors to communications with states in which we have had difficult relationships with in the past.
