That seems awkward. Before both the nations could ratify the new treaty, it has already been open to different interpretations. One could not help but suspect the ingenuity of START. Would it be just another hollow international showpiece? I hope not. (vzc43)

It's a 'False START'...more importantly,is Hillary open to 'Inspection'?...Truth is, U.S. security's hurting from her uneven handed approach to more pressing issues.

I do not believe a word of what Hilary Clinton has to say about the status of the START treaty because she is an expert in the art of double dealing and double speak. Hilary Clinton has contributed significantly to the escalation of hostility and increased militarization of the world. Only fools will take her seriously. I think the greatest danger to global security is the U.S military expansion to Eurasia and also the U.S refusal to remove Cold War era nukes from Europe not to mention bring Missile Shields to the border of Russia. The fact key European policymaker and elected public officials have demanded that the U.S removes its nukes from their soil and the U.S has refused suggests that the U.S is using tactical nukes stationed in Europe as instruments of blackmail against Europe including Russia-which makes the START-without removing nukes from Europe, a bad joke! This is one of the reasons why Europe currently follows the U.S imperatives no matter how wrong headed, futile and destructive these policies may be The global insecurity created by the current dysfunctional uni-polar U.S hegemony will not change until the day the U.S forced to remove its nukes from European soil. Perhaps Hilary can comment on why the U.S is refusing to remove its nukes from European soil and pushing Missile Shields to Russia’s borders. I do not believe there is any meaningful reseat between the U.S and Russia not do I believe that START treaty will change the current global insecurity. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=20588 http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=home

Other than Victor Yenikeev's claim, can you give any additional evidence of such requests, such as quotes from European policymaker and elected public officials who would be in a position to make the request ?

To: GaryMax Victor Yenikeev is a brilliant journalist with the Radio program the Voice of Russia. He is not the author of the information in the relevant link posted here. The author of the information in question is Dr. Hans Blix, the same Hans Blix who cautioned the United States not invade Iraq for to do so will not only violate international law but will cause massive humanitarian catastrophe. We know he was right and that the U.S reasons for the invasion of Iraq were based on lies. Today, the acute concern for Europe is the U.S refusal to remove its nukes from European soil 20 years after the end of Cold War and the U.S new regimes of the remilitarization of Europe with Missile Shields. The fact is Europe wants the emergence of multi-polar world order. Europe represents one of the important vectors of a new multi-polar global order: it has stable democracies, highly educated populations, and when Russia is factored into the European column-Europe has both natural resources, and powerful institutions. Europe can counter-balance both the U.S corporate imperialism and Chinese corporate totalitarianism. The U.S knows this potentiality of Europe with Russia and that is why it will do all that it can to create tension and discord between Russia and Europe. Russia must not sign any new START treaty with the U.S that does not include a clearly stated clause for the removal U.S nukes from Europe. http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=BWi4UhaSyCo&feature=related http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/news/features/nukes-out-of-nato-080606/ http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=uQW9BjilAsE&feature=channel http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-10770239

Europe's corporate governance is the same line-up as U.S., basically. See one face of the monster and turn the mirror around what do we get - the hydra-monster. Look-see the World President did not keep his toothpaste bright enough to blind with a smile while stabbing mother America in the back, and of course taking all bets on which way she'd fall. The CROWN is not unilaterally in London. Unipolar was not the intention, it was and is the mandate from the same families who have run the planet earth and its resources (humans are the most valuable commodity), since long before technology allowed for the casting of their net to rule all. China has always been a hungry ghost, since the Opium Wars, that is. And what better way to teach a lesson that was already taught to them - no freedom for blubbering piles of protoplasm AND keep the human population as close to this as can be without killing the profits. Hillary Clinton stopped remembering the idea of freedom when she thought World Queen was her entitlement. In spite of the years of bio-engineering Americans to sell the full spectrum digital slavery ... FREEDOM from hydra-monsters ruling unilaterally continues to be the brand of hope which the entire earth believes in and it is the only unipolar goal worth striving for.

To:PR101 Sorry, but you are wrong, Victor Yenikeev IS the author of the Article "The US Must Remove Nuclear Arms from Europe" by Victor Yenikeev In the first part of the article article he gives Hans Blix's opinion on nuclear weapons in Europe. Not quotes from Hans Blix, but Victor's interpretation of Hans Blix's position. Let's try to be factual PR101. The following statement in the article is due to Victor Yenikeev, not Hans Blix, "MPs in Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Norway would also urge the U.S. administration to withdraw nuclear arms from Europe but all those efforts were in vain." Now, I again challenge you to produce a quote from any European policymaker and elected public officials who would be in a position to make the request .

to: Biloxi Another world order is possible. The key to peaceful future lies with Russia. Russia must hold the line on the march of the empire while doing business with the rest of the world including the empire and Europe. The relationship between the empire and Europe cannot go on like this for long. Something will change. Key point is Russia must be on guard for the world and for Mother Russia. The Unipolar world- as Putin stated in his famous 2007 speech in Munich- cannot be sustained. The world is in status of chaos and we are all in great danger because of lack of balance in international law. we need collective security for the weakest and the strongest nations and peoples. We cannot have peace in a world where the strong can assert its will with brute force to get what it wants.The empire has no credibility but the American people have little power to change things quickly. Obama is a black mask of the empire. I agree with you on that. His wide smiles are fake. He is lightweight and a fake in the true sense of the word. He let the American people and the world down. He will be a one term thing and we will get a born again crusading tea party leader from the right. I think only then will Europe make a real shift toward Russia! Russia will do its historic duty for the world once again. To: GaryMax read these links, if not, alas!

Aside from urging U.S. policy makers to remove them (which doesn't work, because the system has successfully generated sufficient fear into the hearts of the right-wing), how might U.S. citizens affect the removal?

Linked One of the ways to do this to inform the majority of the U.S citizens that there are U.S nukes in Europe 20 plus years after the end of the Cold War and that majority of European citizens want these nukes be removed from their soil. Also according to an article in edition of the British daily the Guardian, European governments are slashing defense budgets. This is critical piece of information because it shows that these European govs want to balance their budgets and meeting social obligations. On the other hand, the U.S slashing social services and borrows trillions of dollars to purchase new weapons and maintain over 700 bases around the world. I think what this tells one is the Europeans are preparing for the collapse of the dollar and the disintegration of the empire. I think the American people need to know Europeans do not feel threatened by Russia and that it is OK for the U.S to take its soldiers and nukes back to the U.S. Just a thought.

I must say, I am all in favor of the US removing ALL military installations from Germany, Italy, UK, and Portugal. Let them fund their defense budget instead of the US. As for Eastern Europe, those that request US military presence should receive it until their fear of Russia subsides. Of course, if this happened, who knows what Germany would do with regard to its military.
