That post made little or no sense as a reply to mine.

As for the legality missile defense funding, the funding is for research, not implementation. I doubt research is covered by the treaty.

It's broken. We've abrogated it, which is perfectly within our rights now that the other signatory no longer exists. If we'd RE-negotiated it after the USSR fell (which we didn't), that would be another matter. But once the signatory country ceased to exist, even according to Geneva, we could withdraw from the treaty at any time, simply by saying we no longer intended to hold to it. Which we have.

There is no 'in force' for BILATERAL (NOT 'International', for noone else has signed on) treaties of this kind... because there's no body that exists to enforce them. It's strictly voluntary. (PoliSci 101).

Well, you're 100% correct. You can't make it less moronic then it already is.

It's getting too quite.

If you give a Democrat a cow he will milk it,

If you give a Republican a cow he will pay a Democrat to milk the cow for less than the minimum wage, then fabricate a milk shortage and then sell it the milk at grossly inflated prices.
...and Rush and Fox News will swear there is a milk shortage.
