INF treaty and Chinese détente. What short sighted stupidity that was. Now CHina is more powerful than RUssia and not hampered by an arms treaty.
GOlly. what genius thought of that! Oh, yes, that KGB mole Kissinger identified by that Romanian defector...
BEsides, what a stupid move to reveal your arms to an enemy. Peace you get when the robber knows not how well armed the owner of the house is, just that he is well armed. Good grief. Not to mention that arms control means you admit to be a regular hunter predator with a set limit on weaponry to do the hunting with. Why would we admit guilt as managed like by game warden? We are into self defense and undefined armament, not police predatorial behavior!
Thank the globalist Bushes for this idiocy concept of a global cop in a border less world.
Actually, time is the problem
Time has passed during which China has changed and prospered.
Russia has shrunk from the USSR and can’t seem to get it together to prosper
Yet Trump is heading us in the right direction. First, he shut down the INF. It is no more.
Second, he follows up with new GLCM deployments, and these GLCMs are far advanced compared to what we had in the 1980s.
Third, he is working to get China back into a better relationship with the USA, not by offering them concessions, but with the hard whip of tariffs and trade agreements.
