The Times Online carries the following:
This plan is the ultimate folly. The Balance of Terror has served the world well. Of course there was a Cold War between the West and Russia but the fear of a nuclear holocaust has on occasions concentrated minds and allowed the US and Russia to pull back from the brink.
Obama's plan is highly irresponsible and puts Western security in peril. There is no mention of the Chinese nuclear arsenal. Presumably Obama is content to allow the development of China as the worlds major nuclear super power. China will then be free to blackmail the US and Europe.
Think again Mr Obama. It is one thing to win cheers from the extreme left of the Democratic Party. It is quite another to put the security of the Free World in jeopardy.
President Obama will convene the most ambitious arms reduction talks with Russia for a generation, aiming to slash each country’s stockpile of nuclear weapons by 80 per cent.
The radical treaty would cut the number of nuclear warheads to 1,000 each, The Times has learnt. Key to the initiative is a review of the Bush Administration’s plan for a US missile defence shield in Eastern Europe, a project fiercely opposed by Moscow. ..

The Russians and the satellite countries would have more than 1000left [some pointing at China, etc]. It would be to their advantage to side with us in battle, they have to much to gain in Asia. Then there is the US with a 1000 most on submarines. England and France would have them on subs. Pakistan and India do not have all of theirs pointed at each other, some likely at China. Then China has however many [some pointed at Russia]? North Korea would likely strike South Korea and Japan. Israel as a guess would have 300. This would not include binaries nobody clains they have that are hidden on mobile launchers underground and on subs. Even the US with 1000 could destroy most of the planet. If everyone else joins in with bio missles we will likely be dead as a species. We need to protect all western countries but reduce the threat. I'm sure NATO will have some say in this and other western nations.
Fascinating comments re bio missiles.
