. -- north korea. even in a zero nuclear weapons regime, if a country were able to somehow covertly develop a small number of weapons, i don't think they can overnight announce that they were now world's preeminent power. for one reason, we have conventional capabilities that could take out that capability very quickly. we don't -- increasingly with long range precision strike weapons, you can carry out strategic missions without, in the process having to threaten millions of peoples' lives. so i don't sort of buy that scenario but there are lots of questions of getting to what i call the end game. that is only one. there are other kind of difficult problems you have to address. and we have to begin working on them. but that is not a reason now for not advocating the goal and making progress towards it. you can really, in my judgment, still have a situation of being able to threaten unacceptable damage to an adversary with less than 500 or so nuclear weapons. so we still have vastly too large nuclear a
