Adam Smith actually said...

"we were not entering an arms race because we bilaterally have a verifiable inspection regime for the weapons that are deployed."

"I believe the New START Treaty remains in the national security interest of the United States as long as Russia complies with its terms."

"Anyone who thinks they can control escalation through the use of nuclear weapons is literally playing with fire."

"Escalation is escalation, and nuclear use would be the ultimate escalation."
