Suprisingly enough - I don't have a major issue with this treaty. OK - so instead of being able to wipe civilization off the planet entirely 6 times apiece, we now can each do it only 4 times....
Hmmmm - considering once is all it takes - 2x just to be sure, I don't see a big issue here.
The only issues I have with the treaty is that I haven't seen the verification/enforcement language. The Russians are notorious for not complying with the major weapon treaties - though the same could be said for the US in some ways. *While they tend to ignore limits, we have tended to look for loopholes to exploit*
My real concern has less to do with the treaty itself (other than what I listed) - and more to do with the nuclear usage policy just released. Now that is a problem - but it can be discussed in another thread unless there are no substantial objections.
