It's completely unrealistic, IMO. Let's say America and the west disarm. The Russians, North Korea, Iran, China, Pakistan, etc will almost definitely keep some or all of their nukes, which means there is no longer any balance of power and M.A.D. While it's an unenviable position to be in, we are, in a way, the world's policeman, and disarming the police while not being able to totally and permanently disarm the criminals is a recipe for disaster. Only a fool would believe we should really disarm. The nuclear cat is long out of the bag, and there's no putting it back in anymore... too many people and nations know how to build nukes now that disarming would be suicide.
