President Obama and Russian President Medvedev signed the new treaty and protocol for nuclear arms reduction, "new START", new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty in Prague, Czech Republic. The treaty limits warheads under 1550 and the methods to carry those warheads, ICBM, SLBM, strategic bomber under 800.
There are opinions on both sides that they do not need that many warheads and missiles, and that the matter is how they use the figures for cutting deals. These weapons, have not used for 65 years. The methods of verification and the missile defense systems are put under debate. Hopefully, they will now take on the common goals of nuclear nonproliferation on other states.
Military force alone can not dictate a nations' behavior. If they are attacked, they fight back, if not in formal battle fields, in town and on the streets. Targeting individuals and putting money on them, never work, all must agreed upon.
