And even if congress failed to ratify it would change nothing

Whoa there Bill! Are you saying that as of this moment, we are not part
of the treaty?

You could say that to a certain degree. The old treaty is dead
as far as the rest of the world is concerned. The USA process
of ratification is a unique post WRC approval process for
the USA only. The rest of the world isn't
waiting for USA approval.
