Jeff Sessions slams Obama admin goal of zero nuclear weapons as irrational

In a Senate GOP press conference today, Sen. Jeff Sessions voiced serious reservations on the current version of the START Treaty. He’s very concerned about Russia’s stated disagreement with our missile defense program and says that is a basic fundamental problem that must be resolved before passage. He goes on to slam the Obama Administration’s policy of having zero nuclear weapons in the world as irrational, and he questions Russia’s decision to aggressively reduce inspections, noting that instead of trying to become a better nation, it seems to him that they are ‘drifting into a more dark atmosphere than we’ve seen before’.
