It is a very noble idea. As for the practical application of such a treaty at this time looks bad. It would take a very powerful and well organized form of global governance to enforce such a treaty. With the amount of disagreements at the UN during these times, it would take an extremely forceful, totalitarian approach to pull it off.
It is not just nation states that are a nuclear threat, but large private and corporate entities with the resources and experience to pull it off. With increasing privatization of the military around the world, it is not just nationalism, but also capitalism that is a driving force of global conflict.
The guys working on the Manhattan project knew once the Genie was out, there was no going back. Knowing all the major cities of the world can all be taken out in just one day is a burden. As for why the guys on the project keep pushing, it has become one tool that has restrained the war machine. It has not stopped all wars, but is a big blockage to any world war scale conflicts kicking off.
In promoting your ideas you do remind me of what the Nordics said to Eisenhower before he signed up with the Grays. It does sound nice. To get there I see two main approaches.
1/ Let all the nukes blow up the world and send it back to the stone age, if anything does survive. That will get rid of the technology and capability to build more nukes.
2/ Just be patient with the UN. At the moment there are too many nut jobs there to take it seriously. Perhaps in time and over more generations a better caliber of people will find there way there and the world will be in a better position to sort its issues out and no longer need the MAD deterrent to stop from going too far.

There's only one plan for peace I see.
Russia must be totally defeated.
And then the Russian people must be de-Putinized.
Just like the Germans were de-Nazified.

Nato exists because russia has nukes. If russian has no nukes, no need for nato.

Thank you for seeing its potential. You are right, a global conglomerate of countries would be sweet, but we really need just one coutry - USA.

Russia needs to expedite this spacial operations and go ahead and turn it into a war and bring closure to it, Ukraine will not settle because they are being told not to.
It's not about being pro-Russian or pro-Ukraine. let just say it's in our and everyone's best interest to get this business over with.

But the current administration will do nothing until near or after the close of the next election cycle.
The Democrat party will need to use this to pin Conservatives and the GOP as pro-Russia.
I'd say prepare for another year of the status quo because that insinuation is just now cropping up in the media, it isn't full force just yet.

As a birdy once told me about the War in the 1940's ...
"It's not the War we are worried about, it's the peace".
How much # are you accountable for?
Karma never sleeps.

I mean it’s a simple idea and a good one, unfortunately never going to happen.
You’re ok, just this thread was bound to catch the Ukrainian cheerleaders espousing grand ideas from their tiny intellects.
I was complementing you on the bait tbh.

No, NATO exists for other reasons. It's a security alliance.
To the OP. Rewarding Russia is the last thing we should do. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent nation who has borders that should be respected.
Disarming Russia of their vast stockpile of nuclear weapons is something that should happen, but it should not be contingent on gaining territory at the expense of another.

Security alliance against what? Russia Dude. Whatever it was meant to be, and turned into, it is towards russia. And russia is a paper tiger without nukes. The aliance is against massive destruction. No MD no need for Nato.
