SEOUL — Seeking to lead by example on the nuclear dangers posed by North Korea and Iran, President Obama said Monday he’ll pursue talks with Russia to further reduce U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals.
“I’m confident that, working together, we can continue to make progress and reduce our nuclear stockpiles,” Mr. Obama said at Hankuk University at the start of a two-day summit on nuclear security with more than 50 world leaders.
In an address that focused largely on North Korea’s belligerence, the president said the U.S. has a “unique responsibility” to show the rest of the world the way to reduce nuclear arsenals and halt development of new weapons. The focus of the summit is preventing terrorists from obtaining nuclear weapons.
“The United States has a unique responsibility to act—indeed, a moral obligation,” Mr. Obama said. “I say this as president of the only nation ever to use nuclear weapons.”

Obama, What an idiot. He trusts the fox with the chickens.
Really at this point, there is no reason for anybody to have the amount of nuclear weapons that we have. Reducing the number and saving the government the money of storage and upkeep would be something that I would think that Conservatives would be all for.
A brilliant man once said “The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.”

The only thing that having all the nuclear weapons that we have in the world right now will accomplish is the eventual destruction of civilization as we know it.
We need them because they exist. Having them makes everyone polite. Putting them down will make other countries very impolite.
