#1 Didn't we do this already, under the League of Nations? IIRC from my history, there was something about limiting the number and size of warships each nation could have, the number and size of aircraft, tanks, etc., plus the number of troops. It didn't work then, either. Both Germany and Japan violated both the letter and the spirit of the document the first chance they got. Who is nieve enough to believe the Russians won't?
