In a speech today in the Czech Republic, President Obama says the United States will take concrete steps to a world without nuclear weapons.
The only problem with nuclear disarmament, is there is always a country who will not participate. The idea of a world free of nuclear weapons diminished when the United States and Russia first developed these weapons. There is too much of a risk to disarm now, when we have about 2500 more nukes than anyone else. We do not have exact numbers of other countries' nukes. So no one can be sure whether each country is keeping its end of the deal. The increase vulnerability of the United States is not worth the political popularity it may bring. President Obama knows that the United States cannot actually carry out this policy, and is just saying it to please the world. I Hope.
