The U.S. administration wants to build constructive ties with Russia to tackle global problems together, according to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Testifying in front of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday, Clinton said that a new treaty cutting the nuclear weapons stockpiles of both countries is a top priority for the Obama administration.
The current START treaty expires in December with talks on a new agreement to begin later this week.
Clinton also elaborated on such tasks and priorities of American foreign policy as maintaining security in Afghanistan and Pakistan, U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq and tackling the Iranian nuclear problem. She stressed that the U.S. cannot solve global problems on its own in the modern world.

Spin-a-war: how international media spin feeds a civil war in Sri LankaLiberation Tigers of Tamil-Elam in Sri-Lanka are about to be wiped out by the state army. The end of the long-fought civil war is in sight. But victory may not come so easily as international media joins the game. |
A very important primary requirement I feel , is not ,NOT, always to think with 'military' behind your mind during the talks and also not always think 'strategic'or 'tactical' and similar orientations..!!which I feel is a hindrance rather than a help. All problems have a 'basic problem solving ingredients, when justly and fairly administered, the problem is well on the way ..to solution..!! Also ,a ZOMBIE type expectation and requirement from the F>M> on the russ. side also needs to be changed and altered. from raaj joshi
