The Guardian UK ^ | October 20, 2018

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.

If Bolton is for it I’m suspicious. I generally don’t trust that guy.

If Bolton is for it, that’s a good thing. One of the few who sees a big picture

“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.

President Reagan built his "Nuclear Legacy" AND dismantled the Soviet Union by pointing out that American Industry could and would build the "Star Wars" ICBM defense system (a Defensive Weapons System) and it would work.

Alexandra Bell should get her history straight, or get herself elected President.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - Trump’s approach towards major adversaries like China and Russia is to play nice in public, but to kick them in the nuts under the table. And that’s the way to play it. Whereas under Democratic presidents, who alternate between good cop and bad cop personas in public, just for variety, our adversaries always end up wearing Democratic presidential lipstick under their drawers.

It never ceases to amazing how many times I’ve read “he should have dealt with this on his first day”.

Jeez-O-Pete!

There are about a million things everybody has an issue with that should have been dealt with on the “first day”.

Like he had a frick’n crystal ball and everyone was on his side.

Good grief!

He’s grinning because DingleBarry was a weak-kneed pushover and she’s happy because Rosatom will be donating millions to the Clinton Foundation.

I was being sarcastic.

The poster made it sound like it was a criminal act to abide by the treaty once the Soviet Union collapsed.

Sometimes people here are so flippant in their remarks without thinking them through that it boggles me.

it’s been followed for THIRTY years so obviously YES it did still hold some water!!

Where does he find the time and energy?

Must have given some broad range "advice" to a lot of his Cabinet .... find things disadvantageous to America and give me some options to consider.
