        honest question: why preserve the illusion if the other party is repeatedly breaking the terms?

        Do we really know that Russia is repeatedly breaking the terms and that the U.S. isn't? That seems unlikely. It sounds more like propaganda to me. Propaganda of evil warmongers and profiteers who see a new nuclear arms race as a lucrative business opportunity.

        If Russia intends not to keep it, we shouldn't keep it. But read the article - Putin has consistently, passionately said that he is committed to the goal of eliminating nuclear weapons. There is no reason why Russia would want the nuclear tension to continue.

        is this the same Putin that everyone says has Trump in his pocket? Is this the same Putin that wants to reenergize the USSR and the KGB? This the same Putin we are told time and again is not trustworthy? that Putin?

        If only one party is adhering to it, is it really working?

        I understand that generally over a period of centuries and even millenia humanity is progressing, but this last few years we seem to be stumbling backwards!

        Tell that to the Russians. The UK gov't has already announced they support scrapping the treaty along with the U.S. because the Russians already scrapped it.

        What Schultz says has no relevance; what matters is what Putin wants. And he wants an end to the agreement

        Hm. Steven Pinker is an older white cis male. Sooo....lately I have been feeling like his tweets go like this....an old white cis male defends shit he and younger white males have done/r doing white congratulating him/themselves for doing good.

        I think if you read one of his books you might find there is a bit more to him than that.

        Yes, you'll find that there are lots more bad to say about him than just that he's an old white cis male.
