In my judgment, the principal value of the INF treaty is political.
Inactivated as a result of the INF Treaty in 1990.
We can keep up the pressure for more treaties just as public pressure led to the signing of the INF treaty in 1987.
However all variants were canceled in 1988 as a result of the INF Treaty.
The INF treaty only covered the destruction of launchers and rocket motors.
However the entire program was canceled as a result of the INF treaty with the United States.
Reagan's vision toward elimination of nuclear weapons went far beyond the goals of the INF treaty.
Had that policy prevailed, I doubt whether we would have had even the INF treaty.
His signature on the INF treaty assures his place in the annals of arms control.
I find it very difficult to understand how he could know every detail of the INF treaty and be totally unfamiliar with Irangate.
