Went back last night and did some more reading and digging…
The US suspended its compliance with the INF Treaty on 2 February 2019 following an announcement by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo the day prior. In a statement, Trump said there was a six-month timeline for full withdrawal and INF Treaty termination if the Russian Federation did not come back into compliance within that period.
The same day, Putin announced that Russia had also suspended the INF Treaty in a ‘mirror response’ to Trump’s decision, effective that day.
INF Treaty = Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
The US declared its intention to withdraw from the treaty on 20 October 2018, citing the previous violations of the treaty by Russia.
This prompted Putin to state that Russia would not launch first in a nuclear conflict but would “annihilate” any adversary, essentially re-stating the policy of “Mutually Assured Destruction”.
Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy which posits that a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by an attacker on a nuclear-armed defender with second-strike capabilities would result in the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender. It is based on the theory of rational deterrence, which holds that the threat of using strong weapons against the enemy prevents the enemy’s use of those same weapons. The strategy is a form of Nash equilibrium in which, once armed, neither side has any incentive to initiate a conflict or to disarm.
The result is nuclear peace, in which the presence of nuclear weapons decreases the risk of crisis escalation, since parties will seek to avoid situations that could lead to the use of nuclear weapons. Proponents of nuclear peace theory therefore believe that controlled nuclear proliferation may be beneficial for global stability.
The doctrine further assumes that neither side will dare to launch a first strike because the other side would launch on warning (also called fail-deadly) or with surviving forces (a second strike), resulting in unacceptable losses for both parties. The payoff of the MAD doctrine was and still is expected to be a tense but stable global peace.
👉🏻 So, check this… the declaration was made in October 2018… which was 3 months after Vladimir Putin handed President Trump the soccer ball in Helsinki, Finland, on July 16, 2018.
Now read it again and apply what President Trump says ALL-the-time:
“I will prevent World War III.”
“I will prevent Nuclear War.”
MAD = nuclear peace.
All planned. All in Laws and Orders.
Trust the Man with the Plan and you can trust the Plan. 🎯😎🐂🇺🇸
