Presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev...

interesting to note to what extent the START compromise is pegged to Russia"s "services" in Iran and Afghanistan, as the United States wants Russia to join sanctions against Iran"s nuclear ambitions and to provide "a Russian corridor" toward Afghanistan for the anti-Taliban coalition forces.

Based on U.S. newspaper reports, Obama is willing to go as far as revising return potential - meaning stockpiled warheads. Washington is also willing to discuss a tactical nuclear weapons reduction (bombers) and medium-range missiles. Incidentally, some of these ideas were proposed by Mikhail Gorbachev at a meeting with Ronald Reagan in Reykjavik in 1986.
