We are learning more as a historic nuclear arms reduction treaty is set to expire Thursday. Many experts say this is likely to thrust the world into a nuclear situation it has not faced in many decades. The nuclear arms treaty, which is the last of its kind in the world, was originally established between the U.S. and Russia.
