Do we need a new MAD treaty? Maybe agree on doing something positive for once?

No one is signing an arms reduction treaty or giving up weapons while Russia has troops in Ukraine. That's an object lesson in relying on paper barriers that the whole world is watching.

I mean, true, but also, nobody is going to give up weapons while the US is kidnapping heads of state, launching decapitation strikes and invading a half dozen new countries.

Only direction this goes is towards escalation now. All for ego.

People like,Troy Meink, should never be allowed to speak on behalf of our future.

No country will ever trust a US led disarmament treaty. Unless entire population stands up to show we won't put up with this ever again. And that the military and leaders back the people's will.

True, It will be a decade before it'll even be considered. Even then...I wouldnt trust my country.

What if Reagan and Gorbachev signed while the Soviet troops were fighting in Afghanistan? [Mongolia… Cambodia…] What object lesson was that?

M.A.D. … “treaty”?
