Politician: Some proponents of unilateral nuclear arms reduction argue that it would encourage other countries to reduce their own nuclear arsenals, eventually leading to an international agreement on nuclear arms reduction  Our acting on the basis of this argument would be dangerous, because the argument ignores the countries presently on the verge of civil wars
These countries, many of which have nuclear capability, cannot be relied upon to conform to any international military policy
It is risky for the politician's country to unilaterally reduce nuclear arms in hopes of achieving an international agreement on arms reduction.
