United Nations publication 7277 was a proposed plan for peaceful de-escalation during the Cold War that was never enacted.

Anyway, also, that document 7277 is a favorite of Alex's. It's the thing he claims proves that the UN plans to disarm the United States. We've talked about it a ton in the past, so just as a reminder, it was a plan that was proposed but never enacted in any way. It was released in 1961 during a period of severe tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, where people felt that a nuclear war could arrive any day, and thus plans for peaceful de-escalation were sometimes a bit idealistic in conception. And that was definitely the case with 7277. The first stage of that proposed plan involves limiting the United States and Soviet armed forces to 2.1 million persons each, which definitely has not been done. We're a little bit over that benchmark, but Russia's army is currently at about 3.5 million, so clearly that stage has not been met. It's a plan that's a bit utopian, but it was proposed by us, has never been enacted, and was the product of Cold War desperation.
