Obama brings world peace

[BeBMan]

Just a short notice right now, they'll edit in more later I guess:

The United States and Russia have agreed a deal to cut back their stockpiles of nuclear weapons.

US President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev reached the agreement during talks in Moscow.

The deal commits the two countries to further cuts in their nuclear arsenals after the Soviet-era Start I accord expires in December.

Both leaders have expressed the hope that Mr Obama's visit can help the two countries rebuild their strained ties.

About damn time. He was voted in last November and I'd started to think nothing'd change.

I'm wondering if this will make Putin happy.

[Kitschum]

I'd rather Putin be sad to be honest. It would make me feel better.

[ZEE]

we wouldn't want an angry Putin

Oh goody, we're going to cut back on our 10,000 nuclear weapons. Does this mean we will have 9,000 when Obama leaves office?

The "joint understanding" signed in Moscow would see reductions of deployed nuclear warheads to below 1,700 each within seven years of a new treaty.

From the link I posted (they have now a real article). They mean warheads linked to strategic delivery systems.

Still too many!

[SlowwHand]

Why not "Medvedev brings wold peace"? That's just as accurate, though still laughable.

MOSCOW – President Barack Obama said he and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are countering "a sense of drift" in relations between their nations with preliminary agreement Monday to reduce the world's two largest nuclear stockpiles to as few as 1,500 warheads each.

I leave that for those who want to start a copycat

Theory: the economic crisis is a foreign plot to make countries nuke-disarm to save money.

Broken!

Fixed!

[Tattila the Hun]

Hoo, I guess that's it for MAD, then? Doesn't this mean an actual nuclear conflict is more likely?
