way that is constructive and will undermine the process and the question is do you see a risk to the mtvor the possibility of undermining those constructive steps are not taken, could there actually be a result that could undermine the treaty, put it into it, etc. if the darker side of how this should work. >>. >> i'm not very concerned about that. a few of my colleagues had us government last year and some of my colleagues in government of other nuclear weapon states said that this effort would undermine the npt. that part i need to see. as i noted, there are definitely colleagues from some foreign ministries for whom disarmament is a game, is a tactic rather than a goal. and you can expect them to at least be tempted by that idea that if i have to different treaties, to demonstrate what a great moral citizen i am that's not going to take what we respectively want, i think it's possible. i think it's unlikely. it depends very much upon a couple things i already mentioned. it's very explicit that everybody who's signing this convention was the npt and wants to push forward the goals of t
