STOP: Suckers Thwarted On Proposal

The treaty START I (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) that was made between the US and the USSR in 1982 is due to expire Dec. 5th. Regan presented the first START proposal during his presidency in 1982 proposing that nuclear proliferation be significantly reduced.

The first mistake was putting an expiration date on the thing. Who would do that? Why not just say “Hey Russia, don’t make so many warheads, forever”.

The second mistake was calling it START. It has quite a motivating ring to it not to mention it must be a pretty confusing name to give a treaty intended to STOP the proliferation of nuclear arms.

Yeah, I think that would be a better name for it, STOP (“Stop That Ok, Please” or “Staunch That Opprobrious Production” or “Super-Terrestrial Ordnance Prohibition”).
