RT — ‘We’ll spend you into oblivion’: US nuclear envoy reveals ‘negotiating’ tactic for New START, last arms control deal with Russia

Summary:
Trump goes full Reagan.Apparently the US doesn't realize that the real cost is in terms of real resources rather than units of account for countries that issue their own currencies. Or maybe it does and wants to force China to drop its dollar peg like Russia.Whatever, it's nutty. Kind of like declaring that the US is staying in Syria to create a quagmire for Russia.Where are the grownups?Oh, and did I mention that the latest talking point is the Social Security is running out of funding soon so that the program needs to be cut.RT‘We’ll spend you into oblivion’: US nuclear envoy reveals ‘negotiating’ tactic for New START, last arms control deal with RussiaSee alsoSputnik InternationalUS Militarizing Space, Exiting Treaties in ‘Historical Miscalculation’ to Stay HegemonAlsoRay Dalio
