With nuclear weapons, it is not the quantities as much as the capability to deliver them to intended targets with a high probability and precision.
Puppet dictators like Ahmadinijad and Kim may eventually gain a nuclear weapon NK has nukes, and Iran has a missle that can reach Israel.but they lack the capability to reliably deliver them. 1500 US weapons available to respond to a single warhead is more than enough firepower.
Just b/c they can't reach us does not mean we should dissarm. Iran and NK have no reason to follow the treaty. We are infedels to Iran, so they are free to lie to us. NK is a total dictatorship, thier people will never know what's going on or be help accountable.
If Iran or N Korea will not follow a treaty what ....difference does it make if we have 1500 or 15,000 warheads?
We are no safer either way
The treaty is with Russia, the only country capable of exchanging nukes with the US. All the other puppets could be easily whiped out by either one of us without retalliation
While Putin is little more than a thug, theres no reason for any treaty with them. If we want to reduce the number of nukes we have, we can do so w/o giving that thug an international stage.
Hell, we can do it and say; "See what great people we are. We led the way to dissarming. Now which one of you other countries is man enough to do the same?"
and don't think for one moment that Iran won't choose mass martyrdom. I know that sounds paranoid, but I think it would be better to be proven wrong and have had the nukes, than right and not have them.
