Seriously delusional, challenge is to stop the new nuclear arms race and reach new agreements on warhead and SNDV reductions > non-proliferation is yesterday’s issue >> if aspirations of RoK, Japan, KSA, Ukraine and others to seek NW, the solution is reversing the new nuclear and EDT arms racing, implementing agreed actions and objectives, rethinking provocative enterprises as QUAD, AUKUS, India-Pacific and working towards common security paradigms, preserving what remains of the NACD architecture and rebuilding habits of dialogue and engagement on NACD - among other such moves …..
