    While true, this shit is 10,000% lawyer speak and weasel words. Every country is going to make nukes because guess what… they always needed them to protect their sovereignty.

    No more fooling non nuclear powers that there is any “order” in this world. Just the strong crushing the weak.

      I don’t think there’s any weaseling here. Clinton wasn’t about to start a nuclear war over Ukraine, and very deliberately didn’t enter a treaty that said that. Diplomats are famous for arguing endlessly over exact choice of words, even.

      Nobody ever claimed international law was strong and inviolable.
