Progression in Nuclear Arms Eradication

President Obama has long espoused the rather ambitious goal of ridding the world of all nuclear weapons. A recent article in The Guardian discusses how Obama's campaign against nuclear warfare was boosted last night when Russia indicated that there has been agreement between the two nations on a historic nuclear arms reduction treaty. Although it has not been announced that any deal has been struck, White House officials did say that the two nations are "very close" to agreeing upon a treaty, going so far as to say that one of the only steps left was for the two presidents to agree upon a treaty signing date. I think it is very good that in the past couple decades our two nations have progressed so far on the issue of nuclear arms.
