MOSCOW (AP) — The Kremlin says it is concerned about U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from a landmark nuclear weapons treaty.
Trump announced on Saturday that the United States would walk away from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty that the U.S. and the Soviet Union signed in 1987 in a major step to ease Cold War tensions.
Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, told reporters on Monday that Putin is denying Trump’s allegations that Russia has violated terms of the treaty. Peskov says the U.S. withdrawal from the treaty would “make the world a more dangerous place.”
The Kremlin’s comments came as U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton began his visit to Russia on Monday. Peskov said Russian officials are anxious to hear Bolton’s explanations for Trump’s decision.
Maybe it is time for Putin to release some of the dirt he has on Spanky. I don’t think Putin is faking his displeasure, he has nothing to gain from the US having more nucs. Also, Congress would have to approve the funding for a new series of nuclear weapons and that won’t happen, especially if the Dems control the House. I don’t get Spanky’s motivation for doing this except to fire up the base for the elections but that doesn’t seem to be a big issue for them. It is a sad state of affairs that the only major check on him doing stupid things is Putin.
First Gorbachev, now the Kremlin and Putin …
Bob Corker and Rand Paul, other Republicans and most all Democrats …
Most of the rest of the world …
“Stupid idea.”
And then there’s Trump and Bolton.
Fucking moron and dangerous psychopath.
And then there’s Trump and Bolton.
Fucking moron and dangerous psychopath.
Interchangeable descriptions!
I think Putin is smart enough to remember it was the Arms race that brought the USSR down.
He can’t afford it , after the oligarchs are finished skimming billions of the top.
Remember Russia is a third rate economy with their GDP lagging behind California!
This gives donnie proof that he’s harder on Russia than any other president. Dangerous hack that he is.
