The last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia, New START, just expired.
For the first time in several decades, there will be no limits on nuclear weapons and fewer tools to manage a crisis between the world’s largest nuclear powers.

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.
