Medvedev menace de quitter Start (treaty with the US on nuclear disarmament) - Le Monde

Medvedev has warned the US that Russia could abandon the treaty on nuclear  disarmament with the US and  risk a return of the cold war era, for lack of agreement with Washington on the US antimissile defense system in Europe, reports Le Monde
If the US and Russia return to the cold war era it would help Obama persuade the Americans that we needed to give the military and other secret agencies more than $850 billion for 2011.

It is amazing how Obama has changed since his college years. See the article he wrote in 1983 in the Sundial.
