Russian Spy Caper Imperils START Ratification

Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill reports the following online today: Russian spy ring may be last straw for Obama nuclear arms treaty.

While the Obama Adminstration refused to condemn Russia over the spy caper, in the US Senate, where the START Treaty must gain approval, bipartisan worries could endanger its ratification.

The aggressive cuts in the US nuclear arsenal without any strategic rationale have long concerned GSM.

There are numerous grounds to seriously stall any consideration of the treaty.

Finally, maybe even by accident, the flawed treaty reaches an unglorious end.

US-Russia START Deal Imperiled?

 The shift in power in the Democrat-controlled US Senate - the loss of the 60th "super majority" vote with Scott Brown´s electoral victory in Massachusetts - could complicate Mr. Obama´s push for a drastic cutback in nuclear missiles between Russia and the United States as explained in this editorial from a career diplomat in the Russian daily Saint Petersburg Times: Reset in Danger of Being Set Back.

Given the US Senate's unique role in approving any treaties, the new START treaty could stall. That would not be a terrible development either.
