Donald Trump said on Saturday the US will “terminate” a nuclear arms treaty with Russia.

The Guardian reported on Friday that Trump’s third national security adviser, John Bolton, was pushing for a US withdrawal from the 1987 intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty (INF), which the US says Russia has been violating with the development of a new cruise missile.

Speaking to reporters in Nevada after a campaign rally on Saturday, Trump said: “Russia has violated the agreement. They’ve been violating it for many years and I don’t know why President Obama didn’t negotiate or pull out.

Lef Mueller and his 17 Angry Democrats explain how it constitutes collusion.

This treaty is worth as much as some we made with the Indians :)

And NO, I’m not a “native American” sympathizer.

But boy did they get ####ed signing some of those treaties.

Such is the way of the world.

Trust but verify.

We have verified, and the enemy is cheating.

Putin went off on some paranoic tirade the other day about nuclear armageddon. Quite off his rocker for the usually stoic ex-KGB guy.

Treaty was signed with the Soviet Union - which no longer exists.

About time for the NWO Bush clan to jump in with their vote Democrat talking points.

The President is not playing games with Iran, either.

“and I don’t know why President Obama didn’t negotiate or pull out.”

He has a good idea why but he has enough class to not say it out loud.

If that was the case, why didn’t Trump invalidate it on his first day?

Why was it acknowledged for a looooong time after the USSR fell?

I believe what you say is true.

Hard to believe you’re the only one who knew it and no one in the past 20 years of govt didn’t.

Well, a nuclear powered cruise missile slightly violates the treaty

http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/23058/russia-is-hunting-for-its-crashed-nuclear-powered-cruise-missile-and-the-u-s-might-be-too

Russia is reportedly set to launch an operation to recover a prototype of its Burevestnik nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed cruise missile that came down in the Barents Sea in 2017. At the same time, the wreckage presents a prime opportunity for other countries, particularly the United States, to gain major insights into its design and true capabilities.

I need to realize that nobody on earth reads stuff anymore. Except for you and me.

From the very end of the article. The part the editor didn't read.

Alexandra Bell, a former senior state department official and now senior policy director at the Centre for Arms Control & Non-Proliferation, said: “When problems arise in arms control, you work and fix them.

“What shocks me is that this president who is constantly telling us he is deal-maker has failed utterly to save Reagan’s nuclear legacy. He did nothing with his relationship with Putin. There were trades to be made to fix this treaty and he couldn’t pull it off.”

He added: “Why would the North Koreans have any reason to believe in any deal made with this president, with Bolton whispering in his ear.”

President Trump should remove the US from any Treaty Agreement that does not represent the interests of America and it’s Citizens, whether by design or non compliance.
