SHOCKING VIDEO: The World After New START Is Ratified

This video takes a look at what could happen if the U.S. Senate votes to ratify the New START Treaty.

The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) imposes restrictions on U.S. missile defense options that could have lasting effects on global stability and security. The treaty restricts certain types of missiles and missile launchers that are used to develop America's missile defenses and also protect U.S. allies.

If the Obama Administration and the Senate push for a vote on New START during the “lame duck” session, it could compromise our national security. It is evident that Russia seeks to reemerge as a global superpower and curtail U.S. missile defense programs. New START is one of the Kremlin's tools to achieve this. Now is not the time to weaken America's defenses, which is what could happen if the Senate votes to ratify New START.

The threat from ballistic missile attack is real. As the threat of missiles launched from Iran, North Korea, or coalitions of hostile parties grows, so does the need for more robust defenses—particularly when no matter where on earth a missile is launched from, it would take 33 minutes or less to hit the U.S. target it was programmed to destroy. This is why Americans need to pay attention to this issue.
