No piece of paper is going to work if there is no inspection regime in place (the real kind, not the Hans Blix kind). No "trust" without "verify." That's always been the problem, and that's not changing any time soon.
Well, unfortunately, a lot of this is probably irrelevant, thanks to this crew....
When you combine The Agreed Framework and Operation Merlin, plus the decades long cooperation between North Korea and Iran, you’ve got two new nuclear powers. We’re working backwards, at this point.
I’ve got no problem with Israel being a nuclear power. They’re in a region where they’re outnumbered and among hostile neighbors. Also, they never signed the NPT. However, you can’t begin your opening round saying they’re exempt. Nobody in their right mind would give up their weapons and allow their adversary to keep theirs.
