Then some idiot unilaterally suspended international treaties, acted belligerent, attacked another sovereign nation by inventing lies, and characterizing (destabilizing) the world only in terms of good and evil (axis of evil). That destroyed all trust necessary to continue reducing these nuclear reductions.
And so we must start all over again. This time with a new complication. Some international parties have been encouraged that selling and developing nuclear weapons is good especially when the 800 gorilla has no problems destroying another nation simply using myths. Welcome to another legacy of the past eight years.
