Pompeo on Russia

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the United States will suspend its obligations under a landmark nuclear treaty in 60 days in response to Russia’s alleged violation of the pact.

Pompeo said Tuesday after NATO allies supported Washington’s contention that Russia has violated the terms of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty: “We either bury our head in the sand or we take common sense action” over Russia’s contravention of the pact.

Trump is tougher on Russia than Obama and it isn't close.

Don't expect the media to talk about it.

So wait, are the Russians our friends or our enemies?

I just can't seem to keep it straight by reading this board.

Neither can anyone else. It seems rather hot and cold, like those two friends you had in high school that were constantly breaking up and getting back together every week.

Bolton put this in motion as soon as he came into the admin but nato allies have fought it because of domestic politics.. this is a way for them to sell it to their audiences that they did everything they could but Russia is a bad actor, Everyone has known Russia was violating the agreement for a decade

You tell us! Republicans have been hawkish on Russia from the start. Romney was laughed out of the room for voicing concerns back in 2012.

Bold move by Putin to tell Trump to tell Pompeo to tell Putin to knock that shite off.

There's more to this that they're not telling us but I suspect Trump will let more be known about it soon given the recent space weapon Russia put into orbit over the weekend.

That's supposed to be a B.I.G. no-no.
