The situation we are in is quite simple actually. It is nothing more than a Nash equilibrium. Suboptimal, but stable...and nobody gains anything by changing their strategy. Everybody wants to disarm everybody but themselves.

The solution? Now that is complicated. Has anybody ever seen a Nash Equilibrium broken by anything other than a third party? What happens when neither side trusts the third party?
