Russia, U.S. hold Nuclear Talks

By Jeff Gimm

Recently, representitives of the United States and Russia met in Rome to discuss both countries nuclear weapons stockpile. President Obama has made it one of his goals to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world. Both Obama and Russian President Medvedev agreed to the talks at the G20 Confrence the first talks since 1991. Both parties want to lower their nuclear stockpiles and want to take the moral high ground in this matter when dealing with states such as Iran and North Korea.
This matter is of particular importance when dealing with Russia. Since the collapse of the U.S.S.R., the security of the Russian arsenal is highly questionable. This is disturbing because of unstable states that may buy and/or steal a nuclear weapon.
