1. What are the final warhead levels for each country? When must these levels be reached? What flexibility does each country have in reaching these levels?
2. Are there any limitations placed on warhead levels after 2012?
3. Can either country withdraw from the treaty? How?
4. In what ways can possession of nuclear weapons promote peace? In what ways are nuclear weapons a threat to peace?
