Talk:Nuclear disarmament

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I deleted a bunch of stuff about Silent Echo. Just factually incorrect (such as stating that George H.W. Bush was President in July 1993... Clinton was inaugerated in January of 93. CP Guy

There seems to be a lot of sweeping statements in the history section. In particular:

  • Campaign growing in strength, then fading (how do we know? what's the measure?)
  • Dissidence in the USSR (how do we know there were no public voices?) How do we know Sakharov had little effect?

Maybe somewhat unavoidable in making a sweep of history, but some basis would be good. Kingsindian 18:53, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "US nuclear policy" section

I made some grammatical fixes in this section, but someone more knowledgeable than I needs to flesh it out. I'm all for disarmament, but it's not obvious that figuring out strategic uses for the existing nuclear arsenal contradicts a policy of decreasing the total number of weapons. I think it's an important part of the story, but there needs to be much more evidence. Also, someone should add something about Bush's recent announcement that the U.S. would be cutting the arsenal significantly -- not only as an important fact, but to show that the Bush line on nuclear weapons is a little more complicated than it's presented to be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Albnelson (talk • contribs) 01:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)


I agree with most of the statements in the U.S. nuclear policy section on a personal, ideological level; however, they're really POV...I've tagged them as such. These need to be revised so as to be compatible with WP:NPOV.Katana0182 (talk) 04:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
