A distressing trend has developed in relation to the politicization of U.S. nuclear weapons policy - President Obama is criticized, while Pentagon support for the president is ignored.

Despite the end of the U.S.-Soviet competition, the remaining 23,000 nuclear bombs across the globe present a clear and present danger to U.S. security. The President's program to focus the world's attention on this problem and to take serious steps to ameliorate this threat is critical to preventing nuclear catastrophes, write Robert Gard and John Isaacs in the Huffington Post.

Reducing the numbers and stopping the spread of nuclear weapons will require a global effort, and both New START and the test ban treaty are critical measures that will do both, greatly enhancing our national security. The fate of New START in the Senate will decide the outcome of our nuclear spring and our hopes for a more secure future, writes Richard Klass in the Sun Journal.

Once approved by each county’s legislative bodies, New START will make important advances in reducing the unnecessarily large nuclear arsenals of the United States and Russia. It’s high time for nuclear weapons--vestiges of a bygone era--to be drastically and decisively reduced in number, writes Mary Slosson in the Register Citizen.

Stepping back from the past few frantic days on nuclear weapons issues, it is useful to realize how much has been accomplished. The last two weeks have arguably been the two most eventful weeks on reducing the dangers posed by nuclear weapons since the advent of the nuclear age, writes John Isaacs in this new analysis.

On April 8, after nearly a year of tough negotiations, the U.S. and Russia signed the "New START" treaty in Prague, Czech Republic. As John Isaacs explains in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the result of these difficult negotiations will now face what could be equally tortuous consideration by the U.S. Senate.

Given the documented interest in nuclear materials of terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda, and given the questionable assumptions that nuclear-energy economics is fraught with, it makes little sense to push nuclear power at a time when protections against proliferation are still so problematic, writes Leonard Weiss in the New Yorker.

On March 26, President Obama announced that after nearly a year of tough negotiations, the U.S. and Russia have reached agreement on the Treaty between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Measures to Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (the “New START Treaty”).

If it is true that North Korea’s WMD programs are being funded principally from illicit arms sales, then it is imperative that China take its UN Security Council sanctions obligations more seriously. In this new analysis, we question whether this duty will ever be compatible with China’s goal of maintaining North Korean regime stability.

In his historic Prague speech on nuclear weapons, President Obama pledged that the United States would lead “a new international effort to secure all vulnerable nuclear material around the world within four years.” While last year's budget request was well below what is necessary to begin the hard work of achieving this lofty goal, the administration's Fiscal Year 2011 request includes significant increases for many key threat reduction and nonproliferation programs.

Greg Mello's recent Bulletin article "The Obama Disarmament Paradox" distorts the Obama administration's nuclear agenda by making unjustified assumptions that discredit President Barack Obama's historic commitment to seek a nuclear-weapon-free world, write John Isaacs and Lt.

The Nuclear Posture Review is scheduled for release sometime in March or April 2010. The review will set U.S. nuclear weapons policy for the next five to ten years and influence the implementation of President Obama's far-reaching agenda to reduce the role and number of nuclear weapons laid out in Prague. In this new factsheet, Kingston Reif examines the background, purpose, significance, and challenges of the Nuclear Posture Review.
