Col. Larry Wilkerson discusses the meaning of the Trump administration’s abandonment of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty and how this move has contributed to a wholesale dismantling of the nuclear weapons control system. This might be an opportunity to restart, deepen, and broaden the framework, says Wilkerson

I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
But now I know that it's too late, and
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
But won't you do it if you must, and leave us, to live…
Along with Obama's authorization for a ten year, 1.5 trillion dollar program to create a "modernized" and miniaturized generation of new nuclear weapons, this administration's abrogation of treaty after treaty designed to forestall the death of all life on earth, is leading us to ultimate death. I trust that, unlike global warming/climate change, there are few who doubt the catastrophic effects of a thermonuclear exchange. And yet, it continues.
The only thing i see, that actually deters the escalation, is an effing accident in a Plant where they assemble those goddamned things. so they feel the Generation-lasting Consequences that come with it. i think, most people forgot them.
Its insane how some people in america is saying that trump is pulling out of the treaty because Putin told him.
Thanks for this, Greg. But please check your pronunciation of the word "nuclear." It's not "nukuler"… even if WIlkerson, who should know better, doesn't.
It is always interesting to me that China quietly continues to get stronger with building their economy and military. Although of late their economy has taken a small hit, it ccontinues to grow. All this while the US is in their face with BS and trivia. Wilkerson is a smart guy and he is right but I doubt China is listening.
The trillion dollar nuke upgrade was an Obama admin program continued by Trump. Small note.
Look at Pompeo smirking, complete baby eater.
MIC said they want to develop new toys to kill more,
Therefore Trump admin shredded INF treaty,
simple
The USA War Complex is on the brink of bankruptcy, poor things.
So it's that simple. The USA say it happened that way and it becomes true. The Russians violated the treaty. If that country says it , it's gotta be true.
Washington and the Swamp Creatures are always right. It's good to know that we have a protector against an invisible enemy, and most importantly they do it with the most aggressive and life terminating weapons .
What the world has is the power to destroy Earth many, many times over. And they want to increase that destructive power.
This Administration has indeed done more to literally make life impossible on this planet, than all other Administrations combined.
Trump was right.
But only when it comes to Destruction.
If politicians want to fight let them fight, but keep innocent ppl out of it on all sides of the countries. Id like to see the old mren knock each other's teeth out instead of by yhe stroke of a pen put millions in danger
We are at the mercy of dowright nihlists. Nihlists with nukes..
What saddens me is that so many Americans buy this shit
As usual, Larry makes sense. However we've yet to learn our lesson from ww2. I think I would make the argument that MAD and deterrence in general are effective limits on the scope of conflicts. Imagine what might happen if the nut jobs driving the US war machine could cut loose without the fear of triggering its own demise…
The US is probably pulling out of the treaty as an excuse, so that they can build these kinds of missile themselves in order to put more pressure on Russia and the rest of the world.
