this is reducing nuclear arsenals between the united states and russia, signed partially by president obama and the russian president, and in seoul, south korea, president obama said it would be ratified by the full senate and the lame duck session, only to have this week on tuesday senator jon kyl say, stop. we don't think we have the time to do it. this has propelled a back-and- forth between republicans and democrats to the extent that the secretary of state hillary clinton went to capitol hill. president obama has been surrounded by past and present expert on national security and secretaries of defense, both bipartisan, to say this must be done. harry reid thinks there is still time to do it, the question is why the wrangling? is it because they don't like the treaty? they want to stop president obama having his signature on foreign policy agenda? what? people say this will affect national security. if the net is states wants to reset the button with russia, -- if the united states wants to reset the but with russia, it has to get russia on board with the important effort to pres

nuclear arsenal i think the treaty can still be ratified possibly during the so-called lame duck session that the senate the congress has just started and if necessary after the new year in the new congress well a human should and some of the republicans that have questions about the treaty but some of them seem to have answers well for example former cia had republican james woolsey you wrote in the wall street journal recently i quote concessions to russian demands make a new start treaty the except do you think that the the. new majority in the house of representatives is already influencing negatively affecting the relations with russia or will it i don't think that it has yet certainly whenever a leader in any country suffers an election defeat i think it raises questions internationally about how effective that leader can continue to be and i think in many countries around the world people are probably asking that question. about president obama. but you know the fact of the matter is he's still the president of the united states there are a number of things that he can do actually
