'The US will withdraw from a landmark nuclear weapons treaty with Russia, President Donald Trump has confirmed.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Trump said Russia had "violated" the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty.

The deal banned ground-launched medium-range missiles, with a range of between 500 and 5,500km (310-3,400 miles).'

Bolton scores.

Re: the withdrawal from the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, Trump said this after his rally in Nevada. The crux: if they are playing with the nuclear stuff, we want to as well. So there. This is frightening.

“Russia has violated the agreement. They have been violating it for many years.

“And we’re not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we’re not allowed to.

“If they get smart and if others get smart and they say let’s not develop these horrible nuclear weapons, I would be extremely happy with that, but as long as somebody’s violating the agreement, we’re not going to be the only ones to adhere to it.”

Gump that article is sooooo depressing. So many awful things

AcrossthePond55 · 21/10/2018 13:50

So he's already setting the stage to scream "fraud!!" After the midterms if he doesn't like the outcome.

And he won't like it one little bit!

If Mattis has to go and on anything but the very best of terms, I reckon that 45 loses the Armed Services.

Andrew Gillum Stomped Ron DeSantis in Sunday Night's CNN Debate

The most telling moment of the Andrew Gillum-Ron DeSantis Florida gubernatorial debate on CNN Sunday night came when moderator Jake Tapper brought up the subject of DeSantis's racist comments and actions during the campaign.

"[DeSantis] has only continued...to bring attention to the color of my skin," Gillum said. "I have been black all my life." Then the crowd laughed, before the candidate finished. "The only color the people of Florida care about is the blue-green algae coming out of the east and west of this state.
