#politics #news #video about how the #New-START treaty, the last #nuclear-weapons #disarmament treaty, signed in 02010 by #Obama and #Medvedev, expired on 02026-02-04. #Interview material with Sophie Bolt and Eliana Johns. #History of disarmament treaties with stock photos; between START in 01991 and 02009, warhead stockpiles declined 82%. The history of the “nuclear taboo”. For some reason there’s a lot of blurred stock footage of Kermit the Frog. George W. Bush pulled out of the ABM treaty with the #GWOT as an excuse, and the next day Russia withdrew from the 01991 START II. #China’s #no-first-use policy and attempt to establish it as an international standard.
