pcr explores hurricane trump's braking yet another treaty and in this case a nuclear one created by acting pres reagan who i think on a par with all of the other acting presidents since the cia killed jfk but you will read and decide for your self;
It has taken the US military/security complex 31 years to get rid of
President Reagan’s last nuclear disarmament achievement—the INF Treaty
that President Reagan and Soviet President Gorbachev achieved in 1987.
The Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was ratified by the US
Senate on May 27, 1988 and became effective a few days later on June 1.
Behind the scenes, I had some role in this, and as I remember what the
treaty achieved was to make Europe safe from nuclear attack by Soviet
short and intermediate range missiles, and to make the Soviet Union safe
from US attack from short and intermediate range US nuclear missiles in
Europe. By restricting nuclear weapons to ICBMs, which allowed some
warning time, thus guaranteeing retaliation and non-use of nucular
weapons, the INF Treaty was regarded as reducing the risk of an American
first-strike on Russia and a Russian first-strike on Europe, strikes
that could be delivered by low-flying cruise missiles with next to zero
warning time.
When President Reagan appointed me to a secret Presidential committee
with subpoena power over the CIA, he told the members of the secret
committee that his aim was to bring the Cold War to an end, with the
result that, in his words, “those God-awful nuclear weapons would be
dismantled.” President Reagan, unlike the crazed neoconservatives, who
he fired and prosecuted, saw no point in nuclear war that would destroy
all life on earth. The INF Treaty was the beginning, in Reagan’s mind,
of the elimination of nuclear weapons from military arsenals. The INF
Treaty was chosen as the first start because it did not substantially
threaten the budget of the US military/security complex, and actually
increased the security of the Soviet military. In other words, it was
something that Reagan and Gorbachev could get past their own military
establishments. Reagan hoped that as trust built, more nuclear
disarmament would proceed.
