The new strategic arms reduction treaty or new start agreed in 2010 was the latest in that long line of agreements. It helped maintain strategic stability by providing for mutual inspections, the exchange of information, and capping the number of deployed nuclear delivery systems and warheads. And earlier this month, it ceased to exist. But with its final expiry without replacement, the world is now in a situation where for the first time since the early 1970s, there are now no legal constraints on the maximum size of the US and Russian nuclear arsenals.
