START Treaty: U.S. and Russia.

Our U.S. national government/country will be safer than ever before signing the START treaty, knowing that Russia has signed over their consent to deploy some of their nuclear weapons. I think that the treaty that the U.S. and Russia have signed will be beneficial for all countries because between the two countries we hold ninety percent of the world’s nuclear weapons. Our Government made a good decision to be accord with our past rival, we know how powerful they are. Obama states that “When the United States and Russia are not able to work together on big issues, it is not good for either of our nations, nor is it good for the world." I believe that it’s true because we are the two most powerful countries and have very huge and advanced armies. If we were to get into an argument or war we may as well begin another war, we have big populations (not the biggest) to effect other countries creating tensions around the world. Obama is trying to defend our government/country from future conflicts with other countries and is trying to get all countries to follow. If he succeeds we will be closer to world peace, somewhat at least. The fact that they have to deploy their weapons down to an amount is good for our safety; we need to know how many nuclear weapons are out there and who has them. Our government/President will try to get Israelis to meet and agree for peace, not all countries I’m sure will want to sign over their consent to publicize their weapons. It is attainable I believe and will take time to get all countries to be more peaceful. As long as the two biggest countries (power wise) are on the same page then I believe that is good enough for now. Nuclear wars are the worst to be in because of the damage it can create, it can kill thousands even millions. Nuclear weapons have no escape or stopping once hidden and unknown, they can be catastrophic. The people of the United States would not want to be in a nuclear war because it can set off another world war which at this point in times technology would be utterly disastrous. I’m all for the treaty and trust that our government/President will help ensure safety to all citizens in the U.S.
