We had not only the technology but the finished product decades ago, however. A better analogy would be to say we agreed to stop making toasters, the agreement ended, and we started making toasters again.

Yep. The guy who asked “If we have them why can’t we use them?”

I get the feeling they’re trying to equivocate pulling out of this deal with pulling out of the Iran deal which, no, this is nothing like that. 

As someone who served his Army enlistment as NATO headcount (the 3rd ID), on one hand I don’t like it since using pens for cooperation instead of swords for subjugation strikes me as a helluva better idea.

I’m not so much afraid of Russia, China, and the United States having nuclear weapons. I’m terrified of Donald Trump having nuclear weapons.

I agree this has everything to do with China. Why isn’t the author answering the main question: With Russia openly defying the treaty why would the US stay in it? On what planet would it make sense to “honor” an agreement that both hurts you and no one else is honoring? 

So Russia cheats, and likely hasn’t honored it for years, and we respond with a missile test, and you say we are all worse off for it because we show our strength?

Sure, makes sense. Putin will definitely respond with fear when we send him a strongly worded letter indicating he needs to stop cheating.

The only reason…

One could make a pretty good case that Russia—a country that assassinates dissidents abroad, backs regimes that use chemical weapons against civilians, and intentionally bombs hospitals, is the bad actor here. One could also make the case that Russia needs to be punished for violating the treaty, and the U.S. is…

Came here to say this. Only wearing an article of clothing for one season is 100% immoral by any scale.

Humanity deserves to fail if this is the philosophical quandary we’re currently faced with: whether to wear a perfectly functioning coat or not because it’s SO last season. No wonder the fashion industry is the number 2 polluter.  

FUCK YES I would buy Ina Garten’s memoir.  Where the hell do I get on the waiting list?

My god... you waded through the grays?... Please...take a shower immediately.

Are they fucking deranged?

This is crazy. The acting DNI (Joseph Maguire)—in violation of ICWPA policy—took the whistleblower’s complaint to the White House counsel’s office for permission to relay the complaint, the same office which had directed White House officials hiding records of the president’s calls which prompted the complaint in the…

If this does happen to be something that causes the administration trouble, either legally or politically, think about what it will all have been for. A half assed attempt to get dirt on a potential political rival’s son. The kicker is that at the present pace Uncle Joe might get overtaken by Elizabeth Warren and then…

No, there isn’t. Multiple world leaders also did the same thing, it wasn’t isolated to Biden or anything relating to his son. That has been thoroughly debunked.

What, they’re gonna stop? The MAGAt response to all this is that “the whistleblower wasn’t even in the room.” Dude, you can know shit is wrong and not have been privy to the conversation in question. Especially because so many people in Trump’s universe hold only one qualification for their job: sucking up to Trump,…

Devon Nunes? Lying???? I’ve never heard such a thing!

I love that Ukraine is spelled differently each time LMAO

Bill Barr shows up in the first paragraph! That’s really telling. Is the coverup worse than the crime?
