So it's very important to understand then that if they have a uranium route to the bomb, if they withdraw from the treaty and kick out the IAEA inspectors and announce that now we're making nuclear bombs, they can either one, race to a gun type nuke that's essentially useless to them, or they can take their ponderous ass time trying to figure out how to make an implosion system work.

I'm trying to agree with my friend here, because what it is, is that that completely ruined Donald Trump's ability to engage in real diplomacy with Russia for his entire first term, certainly for the first three years of it.
