December 5, 2010 marks the one-year anniversary of the expiration of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) between the U.S. and Russia. While Presidents Barack Obama and Dmitriy Medvedev signed the follow-on New START agreement this past April, it has yet to be ratified by the Senate, raising serious questions about the treaty's future. What impact does the treaty have on American national security? What is the likelihood that New START will be ratified? How would ratification or non-ratification affect broader U.S.-Russian relations.
