Whats a word.

Okay so lets say Reagan gets better scientific advice and agrees to confine SDI to the laboratory. Consequently an agreement is signed by the US and USSR to eliminate all of their nuclear weapons within 10 years. This agreement would however not cover French, British or Chinese nuclear weapons.

Would this lead to the other nuclear powers giving up their weapons?
 
Why the hell would they do that?
Ya, Russia having fewer nukes than China is totally ASB.

Wouldn't happen, no way, no how.

The probability of the US having fewer than China is slightly better, but still well withing ASB territory.
If China gave up all of hers (which I doubt), the Soviets still wouldn't drop below UK and France (possibly combined).

Come on, now.
 
Its not ASB because this idea was tabled and nearly accepted by both sides. Basically it came down to SDI and whether it could be continued being confined to the laboratory for 10 years. Reagan was told(erroneously) that it could not.
