The Cold War Today

Barack Obama and the Russian leader recently signed off on an arms treaty document that decreased the amount of nuclear weapons each country had. Although it's not as bad today, the threat of a nuclear war is still a fear in some American households. At the end of the cold war, most Americans fear went away, but some remains. America and Russia hold about 90 percent of the worlds nuclear weapons. Signing this document shows the leadership obtained by these two nations. Many say it is a Win-Win situation for both countries. This document allows the two nations to rise to a higher level of cooperation.
