Barack Obama’s hopes of remolding US foreign policy stand on the brink of failure. After two of his favorite initiatives – nuclear disbarment and better relations with Russia – were dealt serious setbacks. Meanwhile in Washington, a republican leader in the Senate signaled that the arms control treaty signed in April is unlikely to be ratified this year. Together the setbacks mark a new low point for Obama’s ambitions set out on a path to abolish nuclear weapons. They also rob the president of the main objective to “reset” US-Russian relations. Advocates of disbarment still hope the door to withdrawal could be left open in another strategic review, next year.
