President Barack Obama used a speech in Berlin to urge Russia to revive momentum for a world without nuclear weapons, vowing to chop deployed arsenals by third.Rico says we do have more nukes than we can ever use, even if the Iranians get stupid and make one (as in Armageddon), but we could certainly do with less. now that we don't have any arch-enemies (like the Russians) any more. (If you read, painfully, the original article, you'll quickly realize that English is not Vicky247's first language...)
Obama spoke in Berlin, where former President John F. Kennedy gave a moving speech at the beginning of the US-Russian conflict, asking support for the New START pact, that each countries cut their hold on nuclear arsenals.
The speech, that came when Obama met together with his Russian counterpart, received a chilly reception in Washington.
The Russian Government same that doesn't take these proposals seriously, as Washington continues to extend its missile defenses. "After an in-depth review, I have determined that we are able to guarantee the protection of the US and our allies, and maintain a powerful and credible deterrent strategy, while reducing our nuclear weapons bh up to a third," said Obama.
"I intend to hunt reductions negotiated with Russia to maneuver on the far side the conflict nuclear postures," same Obama, standing next to the wall that long divided Communist East Berlin from the West.
Russia says US missile defense plans damage reduction goal by requiring that national capital has a lot of missiles or lose its deterrent capability. "We can take seriously the concept of a discount of strategic nuclear weapons once the US is increasing its capability to intercept strategic nuclear weapons?", Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told reporters. "These things clearly don't go along. it's obvious that the Russian political commanders cannot take these proposals seriously, “he added.
The vision of "a world without nuclear weapons" that Obama exposed in Prague in 2009, helped him win the Nobel Peace Prize, however, the results achieved to this point have generated criticism that the honor was untimely.
"Hello, Berlin!" Angela Merkel spoke of the Brandenburg Gate, the image of freedom, and thanked Obama for coming back.
Obama spoke of friendly relationships and appeals for peace, and freedom across the globe. "The wall has long become history," Obama calls in regard to the Berlin Wall, "but currently it's up to United States to create history!"
With a "Thank you" and "God bless America, and Germany", Obama finished the speech. The German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich whispers to a journalist conspiratorially.:"Very American."
A few road blocks up, a queue has shaped ahead of a frozen dessert parlor. The snipers on the House of Representatives square are gone; the windows within the workplace, however, still stay closed.
