We used to have a treaty about keeping space demilitarized, back in the day. Not sure what happened to it. Sounds like it went the way of ABM, INF and Open Skies. Are we doing anything START-like, or is that stalled out too?
Most dangerous times since the Cuban Missile Crisis or the Able Archer Crisis. At least back then there was a vocal anti-nuclear contingent getting some media coverage. And the bipartisan foreign policy consensus soberly supported the wisdom of bilateral agreements preventing fatal miscalculations and miscommunications.

Scott Ritter may have something more recent on START and related treaties, but here's something he wrote about this in Nov 2023: https://consortiumnews.com/2023/11/28/scott-ritter-the-end-of-us-nuclear-superiority/
Oh cool, thanks, I think I missed that one!
