New START, Old Whine

New START, Old Whine - Investors.com
"Then came the kicker from President Obama: "Ronald Reagan said, 'Trust but verify.' We can't verify right now.

...A nuclear arms control pact cannot be passed blindly under the rationale that 'it is in everybody's interests to work on reducing our nuclear arsenals.'

Trusting Europe's judgment is no way to verify that post-Cold War Russia really will be constrained in the future."
