I got curious about the ABM treaty and its provisions for withdrawal as
discussed earlier. This is what I found.
Article XV
1. This Treaty shall be of unlimited duration.
2. Each Party shall, in exercising its national sovereignty, have the
right to withdraw from this Treaty if it decides that extraordinary
events related to the subject matter of this Treaty have jeopardized its
supreme interests. It shall give notice of its decision to the other
Party six months prior to withdrawal from the Treaty. Such notice shall
include a statement of the extraordinary events the notifying Party
regards as having jeopardized its supreme interests.

I'm really curious as to what "extraordinary events" the Shrub will cite
in order to withdraw.
