With the signing of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) II in January 1993, Peacekeeper became a dead program. START II demanded the removal of all MIRV ICBMs, and it is currently planned to phase out all LGM-118A missiles until 2004. After that date, the LGM-30 Minuteman will remain the only U.S. land-based ICBM. When production was completed, about 100 LGM-118A missiles had been built.
My point is that it’s a piece of paper. The Madeline Albright's of the world serious believe that our enemies will honor theses treaties. Now Madeline would say but we will verily this. Sure, right. I am also the King of Siam.
