    That’s a really good take. I didn’t know about how close we came to bilateral disarmament, wow! And yeah, I always kinda knew we just let them fall apart on their own, but seeing it put that way is enormously frustrating. It’s wild how the late 80’s/ early 90’s had a chance to put us on track for a really great future for almost no cost, and instead we looked at it, did a line of blow, and said “nah lol, I got mine, idiot”
