Washington Post: Has an article by former President Gorbachev of the USSR and former US Secretary of State George Shultz, the article states the following on INF Treaty, " We participated in INF negotiations. Abandoning it threatens our very existence. "
Lets Get Real:
The problem is that we do not have the above great statesmen in office any more, we face a very different political climate, the Russians are cheating and China is becoming a bigger threat. Russia under Putin is trying to get the USSR back, piece by piece, it can be argued that President Reagan himself would have been concerned about Russian cheating and would have scrapped the deal if the Russians did not back off. The Washington Elite, well the press and TV as so anti Trump they will use anything to attack him, the press and TV have pushed the message that Bush 41 was better than Trump because he was willing talk to the other side, what they mean is that he broke his pledge on no new taxes, that elite and the Democrats just like taxes and Republican Presidents who give in to them. Gorbachev and Shultz represent great leaders of a bygone Era, this wish blog wishes that President Reagan was still around and in office, that his Chief of Staff was James Baker, his VP was Bush 41 and the Secretary of State was George Shultz, while President Gorbachev was President of a reformed Russia. It sad but we have to deal with events are they are, not as we wish.
