Not scaled back, and seeking a new weapon in the arsenal...
I do recognize that many, MANY old warheads have been destroyed in accordance with the treaty, BUT, those missiles are outdated. Its easy to destroy them because they are antiquated and there are much better delivery methods. {a Minuteman missile that takes an hour to fuel (and can be seen from orbit that you're fueling it) as apposed to a tomahawk cruise missile that can be rearmed and fired in ten minutes}
