Where is Kerry running?

John Kerry said:

"Let me just quickly say, at the current pace, the president will not secure the loose material in the Soviet Union -- former Soviet Union for 13 years. I'm going to do it in four years. And we're going to keep it out of the hands of terrorists."

Is John Kerry running for election in the "former Soviet Union", usually called Russia in these later days, or is he running for election here in the United States?

If we could make the "former Soviet Union" just destroy all of its NBC stockpiles, weapons and waste, then I will need to rethink my love of Ronald Reagan...
