Of course it’s bad to hear that from the great satan and I am horrified what this attitude can lead to. But they are in an interesting position regarding nuclear nonproliferation treaties and related agreements. Many of these have been made during the cold war with the USSR and are still in effect but with Russia.

Now the problem the US faces is the rapid rise of China while being bound by treaties with Russia. Best-case scenario for them would be to include China in currently existing agreements but it’s doubtful that the current US regime has the diplomatic talent for that. Other than that they could uphold the status quo and risk falling even more behind China or they destroy current agreements and start a new arms race.

Oh.

That’s not good…
