Obama calls for nuclear arsenal cuts
 
Nice one Barack...hopefully negotiations will prove successful.

US President Barack Obama has called for greater efforts to be made to reduce US and Russian nuclear arsenals.
Speaking at the Brandenburg Gate during a visit to the German capital, Berlin, he said he was confident the US could maintain its security while reducing its nuclear capacity by a third.

And the quickest way to get rid of them is to fire them off at some useless piece of land, Syria anyone? :hmmm:

So if I understand it correct they will cut it from killing us 10 times to killing us 5 times over.

Is that correct?

What a reliefe

That's one way of looking at it but surely any reduction must be welcomed.

There may be some nuclear bunkers going cheap. Could get a bargain.

Possibly even build a replica submarine in the underground tunnels?

But secretly we're going to start working on chemical and biological weapons that are going to be stolen by the Chinese.....

:dead: It'll never end. Peace will never be able to be maintained.

Why? You wouldn't be able to sail it. Why not just build a real thing and live in that? :hmmm:

To make a real one that can float/sink on command is too difficult. But to use a pre-made tunnel is easier and it can be fitted with dials, etc, to look similar to a submarine. Plus some a powerful PCs to play SH5. Think of a aircraft cockpit in a basement or rec room.

I see what you mean...but if one had the manpower and the money....

Why not? :hmmm:

I'd make a hydroponics garden. With a mirror system to direct sunlight into the underground.

Constant temperature means the garden would grow during the winter

If it is a fair reduction between the US and Russia then I see no problem.Thing is the Russians have been investing much more in cruise missiles with nuclear warheads(or the potential to carry them) that allows them an advantage gap in fact they already have one.So a deal would have to cover both ICBM and various nuclear capable cruise missiles.Other wise one side has would have an unfair balance.

Well Obama could build atom-bomb-withstanding librariesm and sell the missiles to the Russians, so they have something to stuff their Borei class with.
Good libraries, more money and weapons gone, a win-win ..

.. or not :03:

The cost of maintaining our aging nuclear arsenal is pretty high. Retiring some of the older systems while maintaining the more recent ones will result in a significant savings.

Only if you go there first and everyone else leaves. Then I'd happily push the button...

How about we launch one of those puppies and have us a weenie roast?
