Russia's agreement to the START II amendments should facilitate the Russian Duma's ratification of START II, and hasten the commencement of START III negotiations. The ABM Treaty agreements clarify issues concerning the 1972 Treaty, and address the issue of theater missile defense systems. The full text of many of the agreements is presented.

Losing Russia or keeping NATO: must we choose?

Article Abstract:

The main problem today for the European security is the integration of Russia and the countries which were under its influence. The Clinton administration favors the idea of Russia's eventual inclusion into the European security system. Russia's inclusion into NATO will debilitate NATO's potential to tackle Russia's aggressive nature, but integration of nations other than Russia may not be well-received by Russian officials.
