Russia Will Not Discuss its Nuclear Weapons With U.S. — Official Russia does not intend to discuss issues relating to the future of nuclear tactical weapons with the United States, a senior defense ministry official said Tuesday. Since no international treaties related to such weapons exist, Russia will not consider holding negotiations regarding them with neither the U.S. nor any other country, the official’s statement transmitted by the ITAR-TASS news agency reports. He stressed that though Russia doesn’t intend to use these weapons offensively, it retains its legitimate right for self-defense as a sovereign country. In response to a U.S. official’s declaration that Washington wishes to learn more about Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons and uses, the Russian official said his country announced in the nineties that it had slashed its reserve of these weapons by over the half while the Americans maintained top secrecy over the exact figures of their own tactical nuclear arsenal. --------------------------------------------------- Prison Planet.tv: The Premier Multimedia Subscription Package: Download and Share the Truth!
