Long Winter

The current apprent crisis on nuclear disarmement, wherein the
US is withdrawing from a ban on intermedite weapons, and Russia
is developing them all the while  accusing the US of lying about the
offensive capabilities of its defensive weapons, has another layer. In a
word China. and by extension South Korea and Japan. China never
was part of the agreement, and merrily developed weapons in this
range which the US is currently bound by treaty not to counter.

Long winter ahead...
