No one is signing an arms reduction treaty or giving up weapons while Russia has troops in Ukraine. That's an object lesson in relying on paper barriers that the whole world is watching.
I mean, true, but also, nobody is going to give up weapons while the US is kidnapping heads of state, launching decapitation strikes and invading a half dozen new countries.
What if Reagan and Gorbachev signed while the Soviet troops were fighting in Afghanistan? [Mongolia… Cambodia…] What object lesson was that?
M.A.D. … “treaty”?
