Doesnât he need congressâs permission?
Iâm assuming Putin told him to pull out of it because Putin doesnât want to be in it and Trump will always do what benefits Putin over what benefits this country. Always.
FFS, is there nothing this mangy pooch canât screw up?
Who knew Putinâs middle name was Victor?
Hereâs hoping HW tells W that asshole is wrecking his legacy. I mean, he invaded Iraq, saying Trump is a jackass would be less consequential and reality-based.
I wonder if this has anything to do with this: Putin says Washington bears a âcertain responsibilityâ for Khashoggi
So will we be seeing the pee tape soon?
John Bolton should be very careful on this trip. Putin just might have Boltons lip whiskers cut off. Many years ago I had an uncle that had facial hair identical to what John Bolton looks like. About once a year, he would go on a moonshine bender that would last a couple of days. When he would come home he would have his face shaved clean. It would be so strange to see his white upper lip.
Putin did not tell Trump to pull out .Trump told Putin he did not have to pull out because he is not fertile.
I Trust Putin as much as I do Trump and that is a real problem!
Why not try bringing China into the treaty?
The same reason he is promising a massive tax cut if the voters let Republicans have control of Congress.
He is just a lying asshole, thatâs why.
How soon before Dotard pulls out of the PPresidency, Mr. Mueller?
The GOP Congress always takes a fluid posture when it comes to DonnieâŚ
Wait, this is massive massive newsâthe realization of oneâs worst nightmares. Egged on by the Dr Strangelove John Bolton, Trump is going to start a new nuclear arms race and a new era of nuclear brinkmanship. And heâs an ignorant, reckless sociopath who is precisely the kind of leader to press the button.
Dems in red states must instantly pivot to this issueâput a check on Trump, avoid nuclear disaster. Itâs an existential issue. North Dakota would be a prime target in a nuclear war. Heitkamp has a huge opening. Fear of nuclear disaster would absolutely boost herâeveryone knows Trump canât be trusted with this stuff.
âRussia has violated the agreement. They have been violating it for many years,â Trump said after a rally in Elko, Nevada. âAnd weâre not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and weâre not allowed to.â
Presidenting is hard work, so many treaties to withdraw from, so little time between campaign ralliesâŚ
I wonder if thatâs what they discussed in Helsinki? Theyâre both in the Oligarch Skull and Bones.
Best way to alienate our NATO allies, EVAH !
We (the US) spent most of the 1980s going back and forth with the Soviets over the Intermediate range missile treaty which removed the Pershing IIs and the SS-20s and assorted GLCMs, SLCMs & ALCMs on both sides from the European theater.
The Russians have the SS-25 (Isklander) which has a 3500 km range scheduled for retirement â and it is versions of this missile (and its replacement) that is in question --as obviously anything that can go 3500 km can target objectives inside its range circle.
If the US formally withdraws from this treaty; we will see the UK and France increase their nuclear arsenals and delivery systems. Worse, it may lead to Germany and Poland going nuclear, as well as Ukraine to revisit its decision to de-nuclearize back in 1994.
Ukraine certainly has incentive. She also has the technical know how and industrial base. The old SS-18s (satan) in the Soviet inventory were designed, manufactured and commissioned in the Ukraine.
More withdrawal?
Someone should explain to him about condoms.
The red herring about China is cute!
The PRC has ~ 240 weapons. All mounted on strategic delivery systems (> 5000 km range)
It also has a NO FIRST USE policy. which is consistent with the size of its arsenal. The Chinese have had the industrial capacity to bring online ~ 800 weapons per year, since 2005/6. They have chosen not to do so. G-d help us if Trump incites them to change policy.
I donât know how the disciples of St. Ronnie are going to take this. That was part of his legacyâŚ
