Gordon Brown has offered to put the country’s nuclear deterrents up for disarmament, "as soon as it becomes useful for our arsenal to be included in a broader negotiation, Britain stands ready to participate and to act" said Brown in a speech yesterday, in other words he’ll disarm our missiles if everyone else does, the ‘powers that be’ in the world are in a constant Mexican standoff and Brown would like to call a draw. World peace? Probably not.
The President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev that same day said he planned to boost his country’s nuclear and conventionally armed forces. Russia has also offered to assist the US in the transport of non-military supplies to Afghanistan. At the same time, however, Moscow agreed a backroom deal last month with Kyrgyzstan which is likely to lead to the closure of the US's key military base in central Asia. The prime minister yesterday said Britain would “lead a programme of intensified negotiations leading up to the NPT review conference, under the title ‘Road to 2010’".
