Once the legacy of confrontation inherited from the twentieth century has been overcome, perhaps deep cuts in the Russia and US nuclear arsenals may become possible, together with coordination of military-strategic policies. In this scenario, Russian-US cooperation in crisis situations like Afghanistan, or in countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, would become much more profound.
一旦克服了从二十世纪传承下来的对立传统，大幅度削减俄美核武器和协调军事战略政策或许会成为可能。在这种情况下，在阿富汗危机或者防止大规模杀伤性武器及核武器领域的俄美合作将会变得更加深入。
