Got to love the left. Trump is in bed with Russia. Oh no he is cancelling an agreement with them!
The UN was an idea that sounded great but in no way has lived up to the ideal. We pay for the biggest portion of its budget and it does nothing worth even a quarter of what it costs us.
Cancelling an arms control agreement with them is actually beneficial to them, it does not hurt them.
It really does not hurt us either. But there is the fact that they can not afford to match us arms for arms. That type of behavior killed the Soviet Union in heir economy is not nearly as strong as it was during the Cold War. Even with us spending millions to prop it up.
We added 1.27 trillion to our debt in the FY that just ended, without being in an arms race, I am not sure we are in as good a position as you think we are.
I also do not think that either China nor Russia are looking for an arms race, they do not need to.
Trump is doing his best to isolate us both economically and diplomatically, and those two countries are more than happy to step in and fill the void we left.
Where did you get this 1.27 trillion figure?
Debt to the Penny (Daily History Search Application)
This site is from the Treasury Dept, and it tracks the debt down to the penny.
On 1 Oct 2017, the start of the FY, debt was at $20,244,900,016,053.51
On 30 Sept 2018, the end of the FY, debt was at $21,516,058,183,180.23
That comes out to 1.272 trillion dollars added to the debt, which is what the deficit is.
