Today Russian Foreign Minister, Igor' Ivanov, spoke in Counsil of Federation, the "upper house" of Russian parliament. He stated that ratification of the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Reductions (SORT) is probably not a good move in the current political situation.

Many government officials in past 6 days stated that Russia can withdraw from some treaties already signed, due to the fact that US withdrew from 1972 ABM treaty. They said we should deploy MIRV ICBMS again...

It frightens me. Are we in the beginning of a new cold war?...

Didn't you hear that all Russian missiles are fueled with ethanol? Shame on you! :D

Our Strategic Rocket corps are the only reason we are not bombet yet.

BTW, according to SORT Russia has to scrap nuclear wareads, while US simply "removes" them and stores...

 That would be stupid thing to do on the part of russians - which they will probably do anyway.
 All empires carry their own seeds of destruction - especially those that rapidly build socialism at home while relying on $500 bil./year foreign tribute in the form of trade imbalance due to printing the world reserve currency.
 Russians would better heed the old Chinese prowerb: "Be patient and the body of your enemy will float by."

 Much smarter and greatly more destructive move on Russia's part would be switching to Euro from the dollar and urging the others to do the same. Oh, yeah - start procreating again before it's too late...

How do you scrap a nuclear warhead? There is no safe way to destroy one- I'm pretty sure both nations are removing the warheads and simply storing them. The rockets themselves are what gets destroyed. If ya can't deliver 'em, they are useless.

I'm pretty sure you can destroy nuclear warheads. You can reprocess the Plutonium into less destructive isotopes.

The latest "under-carpet" scandal here is about weapon plutonium from warheads sold to the US. Some smart guy sold several hundreed tons of weapon plutonium to the US for some ridiculous sum of money...

Warheads can be disassembled and plutonium used as a fuel in nuclear powerplants. It's expensive, but possible.

I see I am wrong, apparently there is a way to "destroy" (although it naturally means disassemble the warhead) and keep the plutonium for other devices. I think I mistook it for something else we've been having trouble with in the US lately (nuclear waste storage) and believed it wasn't safe to dispose of nuclear warheads.

It also seems that indeed the US is keeping the warheads in storage for future use (can't blame 'em for that) and that this may urge Russia to follow suit. (Can't really blame Russia for that either)

Here's a list of links I found using Google:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22destroy+nuclear+warheads%22

First one is a Senate gov site, so it's more reliable than some other sites.
