As opposed to the US, which still hasn't ratified the comprehensive
nuclear test ban treaty that it negotiated and shoved down the throats of

currently planning to violate the ABM treaty. I can't think of the last
time a socialist, or even communist country violated treaty provisions.
On the other hand, I'm an insular american, so I never bothered to pay
attention, either.
If you want to look at history, it shows that _all_ governments oppress
their peoples, but some more than others.
