The Obama Offer to Russia

The Times: Reports that President Obama in a speech has offered a deal to Russia, help the USA prevent Iran going nuclear and the USA wont place missiles defence in the old Warsaw countries. This is a good offer by President Obama, Russia if it is thinking straight will take this deal, a nuclear Iran is a much of a threat to Russia as to the West. One can argue that even Ronald Reagan would offer this deal, it does not block missile defence just changes the placement of the missile shield. Also President Obama has to deal with the threat from North Korea, the missile defence for that rouge nation is in Alaska. This could be a Grand Bargain if Russia mind is in the present and not in the past with the USSR.
