America and Russia agree nuclear cuts

I am glad to hear that America and Russia have agreed cuts in their nuclear warheads, though it is a shame that either side has any at all, given the Cold War is over.

Watching footage of former presidental candidate Hilary Clinton and her specialy made "Peregruzka" nuclear button for Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, after seeing how confident Barack Obama was with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, I realised how glad I am that Barack Obama won.

While the use of the Russian word for overcharge was a tiny mistake, and not the fault of Clinton, Obama came across as more statesmanlike.
