Oh, I believe in them - they are very real and dangerous and need to be dismantled. I assume that's what you meant though :) BTW, <Russian fan boy hat again> USSR, as well as Russia, has proposed and wanted, a few times, to get going on reducing the nuclear missile stockpiles, at least once even proposing to reduce them to zero. It was always North America (BMIC I assume) that would not go there...
