This site was useful because it gave an explanation of Russia's involvement in other countries and their development on the nuclear programs of other countries, especially Iran in this article. It states the agreements and cooperation made between Russia and Iran. The article also shows how the U.S. and other countries reacted on these agreements and Russia's involvement. For these information, I believe this source is valuable.

“Russia.” Nuclear Threat Initiative - Ten Years of Building a Safer World, Oct. 2018, www.nti.org/learn/countries/russia/nuclear/.

This site was useful because it gave an overview of post-Cold War Russia and its nuclear capability. It discussed about the number of nuclear weapons, and its technological developments of its weapons. Probably the most important information was about Putin's ambition on his nuclear program and attempts of negotiation between the United States and Putin's Russia. For these reason I believe that this source is useful.

Sigal, Leon V. Disarming Strangers: Nuclear Diplomacy with North Korea. Princeton University

Press, 1998.

This Source was useful because it provided an insight on the nuclear armaments in North Korea. It details the history of Korea and how North Korea moved to arming itself with nuclear Armaments. Its also states about the Global reaction in response to North korea’s development in nuclear bombs. This text examines the motives that drove North Korea to develop their own nuclear armaments. I believed that this was important to examine North Korea’s motives and the worldwide entanglement involving this issue.

This Source discusses the about both Russia and the U.S. about the Iran nuclear problem. While other sources discusses about the U.S. and Russia mainly, this source also talks about the Bush administration. It also tries to tackle to understand Iran’s motives on nuclear development and how the Bush administration should’ve responded. For these reasons, I believe this source to be useful.
