The headline of the article is "Nuclear weapons arsenals to be cut after landmark US and Russia deal". It is an article from "Guardian".
The article was written the 26th March of 2010 by Julian Borger and Luke Harding.
The article concentrates on Barack Obama and Dimitri Medvedev, respectively president of United States of America and Russia, are preparing to sign the most significant disarmament treaty since 20 years, on 8th April during a ceremony in Prague.
This treaty called "New Start" will limit the number of warheads from 2200 to 1550 which is represented a decrease of 74% compared to the treaty "Start 1" which was signed at the end of the Cold War in 1991 and 30% from the Moscow Treaty of 2002.
Moreover, the two countries, which possess 90% of nuclear warheads in the world, will reduce to 800 the number of launchers that are represented a decrease of 50%.
However, there is no limit to the number of missile defence.
To my mind, I think it'sa great initiative from the new Nobel Peace, even small, evry action in favor of peace is worth taking, but these two nations are still the power to destroy all life on earth if they wish.
