Is there any way that Obama and Medvedev agreeing to reduce and limit their stockpiles of nuclear weapons could be considered a bad thing?

Oh sure – why, people can say it’s only setting us up for being attacked by the A-rabs~

Only if Third Party comes along with a bigger stockpile than the two reduced stockpiles, and uses them…lol.

There are those who think that nukes are the only reason why there has not been a WW3 yet.

Thre is always a way that crazies can think something is a bad thing. That doesn’t mean it is!

I agree, less of a stockpile is definitely a plus.

The only negative I can see is that someone who has (or will have because of the reduction) more warheads than us sees this, and takes advantage of it. (I seriously doubt this will happen anyways.)

Here’s who has what

Generally a good thing, but it is important to still HAVE some. The only bad thing I can think of immediately, is possibly some would lose jobs…

@Captain_Fantasy Russia did have bombers get caught in British Airspace this week. Interesting…....

I’m not surprised in the slightest that we have the maximum allowed within the current regulations though.

Depends on if they destroy their stock piles, or sell them to the highest bidder.

I’m sure he’ll be attacked by Hannity and the gang for “weakening our nation”, but during the Cold War both sides accumulated a large enough nuclear arsenal to wipe out all life on the planet (and don’t bind me to the number) like 10 times over. So in theory they could reduce to 1/10 the current stockpile and still be sufficiently dangerous. I look at this as a step in the right direction. There never should really be any reason to kill millions of people in a moment.

I’m sure majority of people who posted in this fluther posting will be super excited.

Well the conservatives are already saying it prves Obama is soft on defense. I never could understand why anybody could think of nuclear weapons as defensive.

Perhaps Bruce Willis having to blow up multiple comets.

Thus turning a few big projectiles into dozens of medium-sized projectiles, Whoops!
