A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What's stopping Russia from having just ignored the deal anyway?
They'd at least be limited by having to hide the fact that they're ignoring the deal. And they realistically wouldn't be able to hide much from US intelligence. I can't imagine avoiding international outrage being a huge motivator for them at this point but they probably don't want the US and Europe being even more motivated to destroy the Russian economy or increasing military support for Ukraine.
As if they cared about international outrage
What a weirdly specific question. What's stopping America?
Given that Russia is a dictatorship, Putin can do whatever he wants; and because Putin was the ex head of the KGB, he has the best knowledge on how to run large operations in complete secrecy.
Compared to America, the US ~~has~~ had better self regulation, and is also pretty bad at keeping secrets.
What's stopping America? Self regulation (in the past), and that someone would have blown the whistle if something was going on; so we probably would have heard about it by now.
Thats why I didn't ask why either of them would follow this deal; but specifically why not Russia
Agree. They don't follow agreements like this
I haven't looked into this particular agreement, but historically arms treaties included verification, limited by what both parties would accept for verification. IIRC, since neither country wanted to let foreign inspectors into their ICBM silos, SALT had the US and USSR dismantle ICBMs where satellites could see.
They won't follow when its in their interest but if they can't/don't anyway then its better to get a deal so the US doesn't too.
Canadian geese.
Don't got no money. I genuinely don't think they can afford to build too many new nukes.
they already have 1000x more nukes than they need to burn the Earth.
We need a new start for New Start!

Don't they have enough warheads to scorch the whole planet twice already?
What will be worse without this deal?
