Elections Have Nuclear Consequences

Trump to Withdraw U.S. From ‘Open Skies’ Treaty:

Mr. Trump’s decision [to withdraw from Open Skies] may be viewed as more evidence that he is preparing to exit the one major arms treaty remaining with Russia: New START, which limits the United States and Russia to 1,550 deployed nuclear missiles each. It expires in February, weeks after the next presidential inauguration.

Great. Let’s add “The increased potential for a nuclear winter” to our list of reasons not to re-elect this president in November.
