I dunno. Baghdad?

Well I am glad they are trying to do it. We need to get rid of them. And the only way we ever will is if WE are willing to get rid of ours.

And Carter did help negotiate peace treaties between Israel and Egypt / Jordan, and those treaties are still in place. Carter does not get enough credit for some of the things he did.

No one will get of their nukes first unless forced by another country.

Everyone is going to say "you first".

I don't buy it. I believe it can be done. I have to believe that.

Long before any of it can be considered, first that trust must be sufficient so that the US and Russia both reduce their weapons stockpile by (for example) 50%. If both nations did that, then each nation would still have many times more nukes than the rest of the entire world combined. That is how ridiculously many nukes both the US and Russia still have deployed.

Simply reducing that number is a first step to a many generation process of reestablishing trust. A trust that Russia should no longer have considering how we have treated Russia since 2000.

Any chance of nuclear disbarment in less than 20 years is not at all possible. Nobody can blame Russia for being suspicious considering what has happened this last eight years.
