Obama Throws Lasoo Around Russia's Nukes

Politics / Russia Jul 06, 2009 - 07:16 PM GMT

By: Pravda

Politics US President Barack Obama is coming to Moscow today. Russian experts do not think that the landmark visit will result in any breakthrough of relations between the two countries.


“One should not expect any sensations. Nothing will change in world history during the two days of his visit to Russia. Achieving fundamental agreements is predetermined with the course of previous events,” Anatoly Utkin, an expert with the Institute for the USA and Canada said.

“No one expected in 1968 that the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union would improve. Nixon visited the USSR, which led to a number of fundamental agreements. The period before the end of the 1970s was the best time in the relations between the two superpowers.

“A lot of things have changed since then, but who said that the USA and Russia would never be able to achieve success? The US sitting president reminds Kennedy, who was ready to compromise.

“Most likely, the US leader will offer Russia to reduce nuclear arsenals to 1,500 nukes for each of the two countries. All other aspects require a deeper insight taking into consideration the fact that it is extremely hard to solve all or many problems in two days. Obama will probably pay special attention to the modernization of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which was signed in 1963. Today, one may describe the document as “toothless” – no one punished India and Pakistan in 1999 when they publicly violated it.

“The future of the globe depends on Russia and the United States: they own 95 percent of world’s nuclear arms.

“Obama’s visit to Russia is obviously a positive phenomenon. Russia has not had a conversation like that with the United States for 20 years already. Most likely, it will be a preliminary meeting that will initiate the solution of many other problems that the two countries have. The world’s two superpowers must eventually shake hands,” the expert said.

Russia’s former Defense Minister Igor Rodionov is not so optimistic.

“As for the nuclear disarmament, I definitely support this. One could understand the arms race during the Cold War. The race was necessary indeed as an element of nuclear deterrence against the background of the competition between the two systems. Why do Russia and the USA need the arms race now
