USA have absolutely abysmal records of upholding nuclear disarmament so IF it is even a serious proposition, the reason for it it's the quickly incoming time when Minutemen missiles will have to be decomissioned while its replacement is so much overbudget and overtime that it seriously risk scrapping of entire project. Meaning the perspective USA will lose main part of its strategic armament is real.

Also you never, ever trust USA on any nuclear deals.

Denuclearization is a good thing.

I'm sure they will denuclearize in the same way North Korea did after Trump negotiated.

Why would North Korea denuclearize when the US still hasn't?

But Trump made a deal. The best deal in the history of deals.

Did the US uphold its end of the deal?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

As far as I remember, the US interpreted "their end of the deal" differently than NK did.

That's exactly my point: Trump will "negotiate" the same way, will brag about a "deal" in the same way, and nothing will change in the same way, because both sides aren't really interested in substantial change in the same way.

The comments in this thread are prime examples of why Democrats lost the election.

I'll believe it when I see it. Military spending increased in his first term and talk is cheap.

If he actually followed through on cutting the military budget by half, it'd be an incredible move and I'd start considering him the lesser evil. But it's all for show, it's triangulation to appeal to certain groups. End of the day, he's a right winger and right wingers won't cut the military.

I was gonna make a joke about this being the thing that finally makes Democrats fight Trump... But then I saw all the pro-nuke .world comments. We're so cooked

“We’re all spending a lot of money that we could be spending on other things that are actually, hopefully much more productive,” Trump said.

Like lining the pockets of me and my owners while systematically weakening the country

Seems like a good deal to me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah because we're both super duper good at keeping our promises.
