From the article:

The potential cuts would be from a current treaty limit of 1,550 deployed strategic warheads.

The Russians have an ABM system for defense of Moscow and the Leningrad Oblast (Saint Petersberg). Less US nukes means that this system will be more effective.

That’s not how a strategic nuclear deterrent works. You have to have enough to cover all the contingent ways a war might start.

What this momo is recommending is leaving part of our tail in the wind.

It’s like he’s working for the Chinese.

Somebody better wake up and stop this guy before it’s too late. This is unilateral disarmament

IT IS WAY PAST TOO LATE. HE HAS SHRED THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND ALL WE GET IS A GOP RUN HOUSE THAT IS AFRAID OF IT'S SHADOW.

baraq is following the playbook of the communist party of the US.
His party and his media put him in office.
And I agree, this man is walking evil.
I have never seen an elected official with such a callous and easy dismissal of human life.
