Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty
The United States is urging countries that have ratified a U.N. treaty to ban nuclear weapons to withdraw their support as the pact nears the 50 ratifications needed to trigger its entry into force, which supporters say could happen this week. The U.S. letter to signatories, obtained by The Associated Press, says the five original nuclear powers — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France — and America's NATO allies "stand unified in our opposition to the potential repercussions" of the treaty.It says the treaty "turns back the clock on verification and disarmament and is dangerous" to the half-century-old Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, considered the cornerstone of global nonproliferation efforts.
"Although we recognize your sovereign right to ratify or accede to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), we believe that you have made a strategic error and should withdraw your instrument of ratification or accession," the letter says.

The U.S. is not agreement capable
Well... ya see... the U.S. of Greatest A. has a hard time with treaties.
Now let's do U.S. treaties with native Americans. Have any been kept?
This is why those peskie Ruskies have that phrase that means 'not agreement capable' about the U.S. of A. Not about anyone else it seems, just the U.S., which is not agreement capable.
If you look carefully, I think you will see they do not do what they say they are.
When money is your god, other types of pieces of paper hardly matter, like a treaty, or that damned old piece of paper, The Constitution.
be well all!
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Eventually Sullivan or Nuland or Blinken will ask Biden:
"We've had enough and so here is a plan to nuke all of Russia's major cities. What do you think, Joe?"
Joe: (crickets)
