i thought the orange man one milimeter better than the biden because he hadn't started any new wars and the border was secure. now days it appears his border was the only saving grace and otherwise there's little difference tween orange or biden; 

No way to make this pretty. Donald Trump’s decision in 2019 to withdraw the United States from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), which was negotiated during the Presidency of Ronald Reagan, is one reason that Vladimir Putin announced that Russia will start producing medium-range missiles:

The INF treaty banned the production, testing, and deployment of land-based cruise and ballistic missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers.

So let us take a look at what President Putin said on Friday at a meeting of Russia’s National Security Council:

As you are aware, several years ago, under a far-fetched pretext, the United States withdrew from this treaty and announced that they would start producing these missile systems.

In 2019, we announced that we would neither produce these missiles, nor deploy them as long as the United States does not deploy such systems anywhere around the globe.

We now know that the United States is not only producing these missile systems, but has brought them to Europe, Denmark, to use in exercises. Not long ago, it was reported that they are in the Philippines. It is unclear whether they have taken these missiles out from the Philippines or not.

In any case, we need to respond to this and decide on our further steps in this regard. It appears that we need to begin producing these attack systems and then, based on the actual situation, decide on where to deploy them to ensure our security, if necessary.........more......
