There are frequent references to the global problem of the environment, and that the world community must do something about it immediately. Gorbachev was worried about what nuclear weapons would do to the environment, and as stated above, this was one of his arguements for disarmament. He mentioned many new and interesting ideas in his speech. All countried need to be aware of the new community and particapate in the problem solving process. A major problem linking the nations of the world together is economics.
Foreign debts are a major drain on the economy.
Gorbachev stresses that a solution needs to be found to deal with the problems of foreign debt, as well as Third World countries. Foreign policy decisions can no longer be made with the threat of the use of force. With nuclear weapons, force is a dangerous factor to use as a lever against other nations. Tied in with the above points is arms reduction. The arms race is a leech sucking the blood out of every country participating.
