    Russian/ American co-operation on Nuclear weapons

    25th anniversary of Nunn-Lugar, designed to stop nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists after the break up of the USSR. 3,429 nuclear warheads outside of Russia, none were lost. An amazing example of co-operation .

    I think it is ironic that something that threatened to destroy the World was the catalyst to bring them together, because of a common enemy. Both Russia and the USA were threatened by terrorism, and the threat of a rogue state getting a nuclear device was enough to force them to work together. It just proves it is a mad, mad World. It would be good to have more like that, but having fear as the motivation for friendship, makes for a rocky marriage.

    There is another aspect to "old" Nuclear stuff.
    And that is the old, unusable, unstable, & I have heard, "the ticking time bomb", that is Russia's obsolete Nuclear Submarine Fleet, that is sitting, barely floating, "deteriorating".......?

    I believe all the nuclear material from the submarines has been removed.

    I have to ask, where did you here that from. You should really find a more reliable source.

    I can't recall where I was reading about it, but after the collapse of the USSR they had quite a few unaccounted for suitcase nukes, each believed to be 1 kiloton yield.

    Haven't heard of that, but if it were true, it would be extremely worrying. Just as the story of " Plutonium Mountain " was/is a worry.
