President Barack Obama..."Start Treaty" signed in Prague! Former Soviet Nations worry...






In what amounted to a landmark step forward on arms control, President Obama met with the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to sign a pact known as the “START” treaty.

The Commander-in-Chief flew to tPrague on Wednesday and met with the Russian leader like clock-work at the Prague Castle today (Thursday April 8th) without any hitches.

The treaty calls for a reduction in both U.S. and Russian nuclear strongholds.

Contrary to predictions that the arsenals will be reduced by thirty percent, critics and analysts have pooh-poohed the notion.

“The numbers will be much smaller,” one official confided anonymously.

Although growing tensions in recent years between the two world powers are expected to abate somewhat, some speculate that the pressure may have been dumped into the laps of other foreign nations.

Former Soviet countries in eastern Europe are allegedly nervous, for example, about the new bonding between Barack Obama and Dmitri Medvedev, and are expected to seek assurances that their security is not adversely affected by the accord struck between the U.S. and Russia.

Obama is now inclined to focus at the heart of the matter.

The President will host a summit meeting on Washington Hill next week to discuss effective ways to secure nuclear materials.
