The Intense Cold War

Obama and the Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, signed a major nuclear arms control treaty that wil reduce the amount of nuclear weapons in both countries. This teaty is known by START, Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, that builds from a previous treaty that recently expired. The agreement between, only, the Americans and the Russians decreases the amount of nuclear weapons by about one third. This treaty is similar to the agreement made in the Cold War. When the U.S. Was holding nuclear weapons in Turkey and the U.S.S.R. Was keeping their weapons in Cuba we made an agreement stating the United States would remove their weapons from Turkey if Russia would remove theirs from Cuba.
