The Senate must decide whether New START enhances American security. Unfortunately, whatever the decision -- which has been delayed perhaps until late Fall to allow Obama’s administration more time to muster support for the treaty -- the US and Russian governments will continue to place each other in the nuclear crosshairs for the foreseeable future.
参议院必须决定新条约究竟能否提高美国的国防安全。不幸的是，虽然决议限期被推迟到秋末——好让奥巴马政府能有时间去争取更多支持——但不管结论如何，美俄两国政府依然会在可见的未来把核导弹互相指向对方。
