The US and India reject because we are afraid China and Russia will cheat.

This kinda reminds me of the well meaning anti-landmine campaign back in the 90's.  The US caught flak for not signing along with Russia and China.  But at the time I looked up who else would not sign the agreement to give up landmines and basically any country that had a land border with Russia or China refused to sign for good reasons.

>> if human: kill()

I have days like that sometimes.

>> landmines

The Korean DMZ was a big sticking point I think. The DMZ alone has over a million landmines.
