I did not mean to imply that would happen quickly, just that it appeared more possible than ever before.<br /><br />Regarding VOA and Russia's development of new delivery vehicles, how is that any worse than our proposed reliable replacement warhead (which some say would be much more than just a replacement), and which apparently is going nowhere.<br /><br />I have no idea how the reliability of the Russian vehicles compares with ours. Maybe to maintain parity, they feel the need to upgrade, not increase the number of delivery vehicles.<br /><br />Possibly related: the Planetary Society has tried twice to launch an experimental proof-of-concept solar sail using Russian vehicles, both of which failed during the launch process. That may suggest other vehicles are also unreliable. If so, maybe the Russians are just being sensible.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483085829260178347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508595818128780410.post-81754798381554934342009-12-24T08:06:12.926-08:002009-12-24T08:06:12.926-08:00So much for cutting, did you see this?

There is one point missing: the US has such superiority in non-nuclear weapons that we could easily inflict intolerable damage on any rogue country that should choose to attack. We no longer need nukes as a deterrent.<br /><br />Since I view all the arguments as progressive (liberal in "Republicanese") ones too, I have high hopes for the US and Russia bringing the era of MAD to an end.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483085829260178347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508595818128780410.post-36149612141603634502009-12-23T09:59:40.472-08:002009-12-23T09:59:40.472-08:00Jerome the planet is already in a sorry state and ...Jerome the planet is already in a sorry state and no one wants to cooperate with trying to heal what we can.<br /><br /> I am concerned with any future war not just nuclear because the planet is in a stage in her cycle of life where we should be nurturing her not finishing her off.<br /><br /> As you know as far as nuclear goes what we have is here for ever. All the waste, everything it has an indeterminable shelf life.<br /><br /> I know the US and Russia plan on making further reductions but even keeping 100 apiece is too much as they are much more destructive than ever.<br /><br /> However looking at the countries you listed I am very concerned about them not so mush Russia and the US.<br /><br /> Most concerning is the country not mentioned as they will use them and worse and I see war with them as inevitable as they are instigating it. That of course is Iran.<br /><br /> I was disturbed to find that along with Pakistan we gave Iran there nuclear start as part of the atoms for peace program in the 50s.<br /><br /> The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program. <br />[1] The support, encouragement and participation of the United States and Western European governments in Iran's nuclear program continued until the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Shah of Iran.<br /><br /> We are so concerned about Pakistan and Iran today in regard to nuclear abilities and nuclear weapons and security. I was blown away to find out that we built the first nuclear Reactors in both Iran and Pakistan.
