“There will be no drastic reduction of offensive strategic arms!” That’s according to Russia’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Ryabkov.
“I don’t think something extraordinary will happen to change this situation. There’s no reason yet for radical reduction of offensive arms,” Ryabkov was quoted as saying.
He told Interfax news agency on Tuesday that there is “no ground for drastic reduction."
The Deputy Minister made these comments as a reaction to some experts who suggested that Russia and America substantially reduce their nuclear arms, limiting the amount to one thousand or even less.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev gave a speech at Helsinki University on Monday saying that that the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty should exclude the deployment of strategic weapons outside national borders and limit nuclear warhead delivery systems.

Now that's what I call good news, its good to know that some people have theiir head screwed on. Yes the 'Obumer' camp, would love us to swallow, their tails of friendship and kindness, whilst clenching their knife behind their back. But I am glad Russia is showing it is awake, and is not getting intoxicated with the crocodiles smile. Remember, after Obumer, its another son of a Bush. So lets keep it simple, enough weapons to keep us safe, and free from military and political pressure and domination from the West. Wasn't it Iraq, that America, used to be friendly with, Indeed wasn't it Saddam Husein. Look what happened to both Iraq and Husein. Nice friends, with friends like that, who needs enemies, Oh! I forgot they are enemies! Lucky the Russian government hasn't forgotten.
