Nice pun : (arm/arms .) The USSR no longer exists. The message is incoherent. Why is the kid's arm ripped off .

It has multiple levels of symbolism that encompass the entire lead story. The arms treaty was signed during the Reagan era when the Soviet Union CCCP still existed (notice the background is crumpled and yellowed, see full size.) The kid's arm symbolizes the new generation's ideas and the arms treaty. The background represents the and old generation's ideas and the arms treaty (iron fist on aged paper). Bush's missile plan was cited as the primary reason that broke the arms treaty, thus the arm has been broken in the current age, while wrestling over the missile issue. That's just one way to see it, and I'm sure there's many others Russia suspends arms pact, citing US missile plan
