Realistically, open skies only made sense while the Soviet Union was the adversary. Russia is not a peer, while China is emerging as a more than peer.
The US is trying to adjust its treaties to conform to the new realities, but is hampered by a general reluctance to recognize that the cold war opponent is no longer relevant.
