For over a half of a century the world has lived with the threat of extinction from the massive shooting off of nuclear weapons. The United States and Russia have the two biggest nuclear arsenals and are the caretakers of the world in this field. That’s why it’s good that these two countries are working together to reduce stockpiles of these weapons.

Negotiators for the two countries have nearly completed a deal that would further these efforts. We are also discussing other nuclear related subjects such as non-proliferation and discouraging North Korea and Iran from nuclear ambitions. I am glad that many are beginning to see that the world no longer needs these planet destroyers and are working on ways to rid ourselves of them!
