the Russians to discuss further. Why not? Doesn't this rank of collusion w/ the enemy? I'm surprised that rump even knows what a missile is, let alone describe the provisions of the treaties and the like. Ronald Reagan signed these treaties w/ the Russians, and it did bring about some calmness to this totally irrational area of arms in a more dangerous world. rump is making it far worse. Also, by not confronting the Russians, he's failing in his duties as commander in chief again...where is Congress in all of this too? Aren't they the ones who determine whether or not we stay in a treaty or not?

The short- and medium-range nukes without the obligatory constraints of a treaty will presumably give Pooty more leverage in his struggles against Europe and NATO. Daddy Vladdy thanks you yet again for being a traitor, Donny. He knew you could do it!

It's also conceivable that Raytheon and/or some other arms manufacturer(s) made some big GOP campaign contributions and now they'll get their payback in government contracts.

the target would be in the middle east, central Asia. Probably worked it out in helsinki.
