    Reminder that the US never even signed it, so hypocritical to be angry at Russia for leaving.

      Yes but the United States has never tested nuclear weapons after the band came in place. Russia’s actions meanwhile have the feel of a country that intends to perform a test.

      Implications matter.

      In the same vein the United States does not recognise the international court of human rights. But Russia’s refusal to recognise the court is entirely so they can carry out atrocities. The United States refusal to acknowledge it is because they’re stubborn.
