In a word, there is no contradition between nuclear missile reductions and continued military intervention.

It is apparent that downsizing nuclear arsenals and changing foreign empire policies are clearly opposite tracks. Their motivations both for and against are diametrically different. There is nothing about nuclear armament that supports imperial empire in the 21st Century.

So, while it is certainly commendable, the motivation behind it has nothing to do with war and aggression but a new form of deterence. Afghanistan and our forays into Africa are quite another matter.

Point - there really is no reason to compare the Russia/US nuclear agreements with American empire aggression.
