Russia and America begin talks on Tuesday May 19th about replacing a treaty on curbing nuclear arms, which expires in December. Russia is keen to reduce declared numbers of nuclear warheads because its are in a poor state of repair and will become unusable anyway. Barack Obama, unlike his predecessor, George Bush, is also inclined to reduce the number of America’s warheads. A new treaty would set up an enhanced monitoring regime and might also tackle the issue of reducing the number of deployed warheads as well as stockpiles held in reserve. The Economist invites you to read an article written in Apr 8th 2009 from The Economist print edition because a nuclear-free world may never come about, but there can be safety in trying.
