So you and Chuck are voting AGAINST extending our ability to continue physically going into Russia, and actually counting their arsenal, checking out their nuclear sites, seeing their capabilities, etc.

No one is against treaties, they just are pieces of paper that are largely unenforceable anyway. As shown in the posts that you choose to ignore is testimony from a congressional hearing outlying the "issues" that the Russians have presented among them not letting us see much of what we are allowed to see, not paying their share and generally ignoring many provisions. The idea and work of reducing nuclear stockpiles is worthwhile but delays in signing this treaty hardly put us in danger or in a difficult spot as you have suggested in another thread.
