Obama to renew calls for nuclear reductions

BERLIN (AP) – President Barack Obama on Wednesday will renew his call to reduce the world’s nuclear stockpiles, including a proposed one-third reduction in U.S. and Russian arsenals, a senior administration official said.

Obama will make his case during a speech at Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate. His address comes nearly 50 years after John F. Kennedy’s famous Cold War speech in this once-divided city.

Russia Wary of Deeper Nuclear Arms Cuts

The Kremlin is quite horrible at being truthful, as every other week a news piece comes out mentioning Russian military advancement gains and superiority over their American counterparts. Here are a few examples:

• Russia pursues hypersonic weapon research
• Medvedev Says Russian Rearmament On Level With WWII
• US Missile Shield No Threat to Russia – Deputy PM
• Putin Builds Space-Weapon Deterrent as Russia Target Mars, Moon
• Russian Deployment of Missile Defenses Hidden in Plain Sight
• Silent sub: Russian noiseless Borei class nuclear submarine immersed

It seems they’re still selling New Lies for Old — and sadly America has been taking the bait since the 60’s.

Russia’s top military officer on Thursday voiced skepticism about deeper nuclear arms cuts, saying they should require parallel reductions in non-nuclear precision weapons.

The statement by chief of Russia’s military General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, appeared to signal the Kremlin’s reluctance to negotiate a new nuclear arms deal with Washington.
