Funding CW demilitarization in Russia: time to share the burden
Article Abstract:

The issue of how stockpiles can be eliminated has now become important. The US has used incineration which has been a technical success, but there have been domestic political problems. US allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should help shoulder some of the burden in terms of the cost of disposing of Russian weapons.
