    Other nations have managed to poison pill this thing to the point that even if it got back on track, talking only about military weaponry trafficked to really really really bad guys, the American opposition is on such a roll it would get crushed in the US Senate.

    Was never a threat to us anyway and now it's reduced to a silly diplomatic exercise having no point, no purpose and no potential outcome beyond failure.
