Its a wag the dog story.
Trump is trying to flex his fat now before the mid-terms.
Welp here’s a few that chapped the asses of republicans:
Obama wore a tan suit
Obama put dijon mustard on a hamburger
Obama chewed gum at a funeral
Obama put his feet on the desk in the Oval office
Obama wore a helmet while riding a bike
Obama wore mom jeans
Its a lot for the US to swallow in 8 years.
You know what I’m good with this because Russia HAS been violating the INF treaty.
As we can tell, you haven’t gotten over it yet.
Over what?
Interestingly, pulling out of the treaty might actually be of benefit to Putin. He would be able to declare the treaty null and void, and bring back an entire class of nuclear weapons. The flip side, of course, is that the US could do the same thing - but, that would further increase spending in an age where we already have deficits through the roof.
The other thing to consider is that Trump would need cooperation from the legislative branch to pull out of the treaty if he were to do it constitutionally.
Nope…
President’s may unilaterally denounce or terminate Treaties. President Carter terminated our Mutual Defense Treaty with Taiwan. The President cannot unilaterally modify a Treaty, but he can unilaterally denounce a Treaty without the advice and consent of the Senate.
The Supreme Court, in Goldwater v Carter, ruled that Treaty denunciation was a non-justifiable “political question”, thus essentially recognizing the President’s absolute power to denounce Treaties unilaterally.
Oh, oh…time for a “reset button”.
TDS’ll do that ya.
Hard to believe Trump would do that to the very country that got him elected? That’s not very gracious.
Yea yea we know criticism of trump=hatred, we got it.
How’d you say it, “nope” but when you base your criticism on very strong emotional feelings and not facts, that’s TDS.
It is not inconsistent to attack Trump for being too hostile to Russia and at the same time attack Trump for being controlled by Russia.
You just have to assume that we live in different universes at the same time.
Except its fact based.
So have we learn if Trump is buddy buddy with Putin as libs claimed that he was?
I see Harry S. Truman entered the Norwegian Sea on Friday, the first flattop to do so since September 1991, according to a U.S. 6th Fleet press release.
removing a Treaty that Russians hate, that will show him.
removal of INF is a win for Russia and a loose for everyone in the world.
