  • How committed were they really to this and how much of it was just political hot air?

  • Well certainly banning all nukes by 2000 was a pretty over-optimistic proposal...

  • @thelyniezian Indeed, I for one firmly believe in the practicality of nuclear power, the events in Japan in recent hours will provide an invaluable insight into containing a nuclear emergency. I had an inkling the Japs were going to have the odd problem at their nuclear facilities, even though they are a highly efficient race. Don't believe in Green Party lies about nuclear power, it will win out in the end.

  • @BigDon62 Nuclear power can hopefully survive without it being an excuse for producing weapons-grade fissile material, though. Whilst I do not pretend that nuclear power (and the mining of uranium) are not free of problems environmental or otherwise, I do agree that the enviro-extremists are trying to put it down too much, and it at least is not a *direct* producer of carbon dioxide. Japan? Well, the earthquake was bigger than even they're used to...

  • @thelyniezian [1} Nuclear power will survive & prosper I have no doubt of that, your comments regarding weapons grade material is noted & is my only ongoing concern regarding nuclear power generation, a simple look around the world today shows us there are many nations that should not have any nuclear programs what so ever, let them be guinea pigs for the extreme greens, that way those troublesome countries can stay in the dark ages while we in the west continue to prosper as their....

  • @thelyniezian {2} governments have no liking for western ways anyway & they must yield their nuclear capability, by force if necessary. Regime change is their best hope anyway, given them a taste of the dark ages in the mean time, that will teach them. As for the situation in Japan we now at least can see a first world nation deal with a nuclear problem. Not since the days of Three Mile Island & in the then CCCP at Chernobyl has such a good opportunity arisen, rather tragic for The Japs....

  • @thelyniezian {3} they had to fall victim to mother nature's fury, but nuclear proponents & the world can benefit from how they handle these nuclear mishaps for an even safer nuclear world.

  • you guys r retarded as shit.

  • @ 8:19, omg, its a young Julian Assange ;-) (in the coat at the bottom, centre left)

  • @disamjisa I do hope you managed to follow my train of thought here ?

  • Russians have awful accents. Ugh

  • Gorbachev is pussy gay.

  • @AndrewPowergo Indeed he is.

  • What is up with the guys voice.

    I would rather have a Russian guy that just learned English than this nut-less guy!

  • смешно видеть комменты на инглише))))

  • Did they kick the translator in the nuts first?

  • That sounds like someone from the British royal family translating! lol

  • nice nasal voice by the translator :-)

  • They could have chosen a less annoying translator.

  • They were a bit optimistic about how long away nukes would be eliminated.

    And how long the USSR would stay together.

  • How long will the states of the U.S. stay together? That's what I'm optimistic about..!

  • hehe...the states if USA are no states...never been..every Europe state can stand on it`s own. No US so-called state can survive on it`s own. Too much depndence on Washington and all the US states are interconnected economically, socialy and ...well...let,`s say culturaly (although I don `s see any other culture beside McDonalds culture). No, no...USA is a centralized and unitarist state.

  • Very right!! That is done on purpose so that the U.S. wouldn't end up like the fromer USSR.! I think it was smart to do that.

  • Very smart indeed.

  • many simultaions have shown that if the federal government fell, the country would seperate into the practical regions. This would create for a much weaker "country" or "union". If you fail to recognize the American Culture then you are an ignorant ass. The McDonald's culture is something that outsiders dreamt up! I am an American and the last time I ate at a McDonald's was almost a year ago.

  • Nope, neither Bulgarians or Turks, youghurt and Cheese were first made by Arabs. They transported milk in bags made of animal intestines which contained rennet and rennin. These, coupled with the heat of the deserts and long periods milk was kept there for transformed it into milk and cheese.

    Later they perfected the first techniques to seperate and dry the kurds, thus making modern cheese and youghurt.

  • haha reagans a badass we shoulda kept himn in office long after his term

  • In Soviet Union, nuke eliminates YOU

  • Nukes not eliminated 8 years after 2000.

  • P.S. 7. American people invented the Internet and YouTube, where the fuckers now whine after the times when world paid some attention to them. Ha-ha!!

  • like youtube is some kind of invention? what a crap

  • Aren't you Americans ashame of using electricity or radio, both invented by Nikola Tesla, a Serbian inventor? Or why aren't you ashame of using multi-stage rockets for going into space, when you know that Konstantin Tsiolkovsky invented them? And so on...

  • aren't you both ashamed of eating yoghurt which is invented by turks as a result of deep scientific researchs

  • I'm not, nor should anyone be, that what I posted was irony, noone should be ashame of using things other people invented. When I talk against America, I do not hate American people, just the way their country is run(their politicians) in the past 60 or so years.Noone should be the world policeman and no nation should believe they are superior to others(because they are not, they're just too ignorant to see that). That stands for USA as well as Russia, UK, France, China, Japan or ANY other.

  • Thumbs up sir.

    And that American git should e ashamed of useing internet : which in turn, requires Soviet invented sattelites to work properly.

  • Arent you ashamed of using rockets with fire invented by cavemen!?

  • You know, I was mocking this guy who says that we all should be ashamed since we are using American invented internet.

    No use in mocking me, go and mock him.

  • @SerbianPaladin The thing is we don't know these things. Many countries claim to invent electronic devices.

    Many say that Guglielmo Marconi invented the radio, that Farnsworth, Baird or Zworikin intvented the TV, that Thomas Edison invented electricity etc.

  • @SerbianPaladin Aren't you ashamed of using the internet, invented by Americans? Of course, the original premise is stupid and barely worthy of comment

  • @SerbianPaladin Why would i be ashamed to use these inventions ??

  • @SerbianPaladin electricity cannot be invented, radio was invented by an italian, and the industrialization of electric power as we know it was led by Edison..furthermore, Tesla was a naturalized American.

  • @SerbianPaladin Hahaha. You are retarded. No one invented electricity, it is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Tesla did not invent the radio, Marconi did. And Tsiolkovsky didn't "invent" the multi-stage rocket. It's concept dates back to 14th century China. Furthermore, aren't you ashamed when you turn on a light bulb, which was invented by Thomas Edison, an American? What you should be ashamed of, however, is how comically arrogant and ill-informed your statements are.

  • Long story short 1.russians,loosing Cold War, started to whine "We want peace!" 2. American President Regan,a guy with balls,told them in Berlin "Fuckers, cut the bullshit,if you want peace demolish this wall!" 3. Fuckers panicked; occupied people broke the wall and become free 4. Without grains from Eastern Europe fuckers' ussr blew the fuck up 5. After russian occupation,free people of the Eastern Europe(Baltics,Polish,Romanian­)rejoined free Europe (EU);they're protected by NATO. Konetz filma!

  • go back to school. learn to read & write, and after that learn history

  • you're brainwashes with crap. you only occupied and murdered others. when you lost, you become poor again, like you always were, "davai ceas"! Move away from this American site, looser!

  • the internet doesn't have borders, loser!

  • and stop pretending ronald reagan was a good guy. he was the fucking devil to the american people. anyone who thinks otherwise has been watching too much fox news

  • Yeah right? Well, in Afghanistan he gave weapons to Al-Qaida, the same illiterate idiots who you fucked you in the ass few years ago and continue doing it. You gave them weapons to battle Russia and now you cannot defeat them too, not even 20+ years later.

  • @SerbianPaladin No one can defeat Afghanistan. The USA were supporting the USSR during WWII, too, although they realised that with the war end a new "fight" would begin

  • @SerbianPaladin

    LOL i like you

  • why dont u go fuck ur Uncle Sammie

  • America, you looser, exists for 232 years and is the greatest and richest country on the planet! USSR was the empire of the evil, it struggled desperately to keep up, and it lasted only 73 pathetic years. Anyway, give me your address and I will buy you a one way ticket to North Korea, if you miss so much the times when you were a sad commie ass-licker and loyal servant of the politburo. Communists still needs slaves like you.

  • @justfelix76 Star Wars was not a problem,have you ever heard of Perimeter(or "Dead hand")?It is an awful,but usable way to ensure Star Wars was of almost no use to USA.The same stands for the Missile Shield USA is deploying in Europe.Those systems can defend from a few missiles,but a complete nuclear war(which would happen if Russia and USA to go war)is completely overwhelming and cannot be stopped (you stop 50 missiles,but 950 remain). USSR failed not on the international level, but internally.

  • I love soviet TV

  • I love soviet TV

  • Historical background. The Soviet Union began promulgating an initiative to eliminate all nuclear weapons in response to the announcement of the "Star Wars" program by the Regean administration . Knowing that they could not possibly match the capabilities of this strategic defense initiative of the Uited States the Soviet Union decided to pursue other means in order to cool the arms race. If the Soviet Union had pursued a program similar to "Star Wars" it would have bankrupted the economy.

  • Mostly it was all PR and diplomatic maneuvers. The Soviet leadership assumed correctly that their nuclear arsenal could overwhelm any missile defense, though they were worried by SDI and had to act publically on the threat in some way.

    Both Reagan and Gorbachev claimed that they wanted to eliminate nuclear weapons. At least Gorbachev made an effort...

    Additionally, the billions of dollars spent fruitlessly certainly did not help the U.S. economy...

  • and the nukes are in the thousands, what a great liar

  • To be fair, we can't say (definitively) what would have happened if Gorbachev had kept power till year 2000; that was his general idea back then presumably. But it probably wouldn't have happened, yeah.

  • Nice that he raised the issue, though.

  • put on the rest!
