When orange man starts talking about denuclearization agreements

What he actually wants is denuclearization for only China and Russia so the US can use its unchecked nuclear force to threaten the world.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a rush toward re-nuclearization after these last couple years.

What are the odds Ukraine would be invaded by Russia if they had nukes?

Would Trump be joking about making Canada a 51st state if they had nukes?

Trump and the rest of the American government is showing NATO and every other country that we're one election away from abandoning our promises to our allies. Nobody can be trusted.

Any country would be a fool to consider giving up their nukes after seeing the shitshow.

The man’s playing 4D chess with nukes again. Proposing to halve defense budgets while the world’s still a tinderbox—classic Trumpian audacity. Because inviting autocrats to a firesale on their only leverage is peak stability strategy.

Russia’s already ditched New START, China’s sprinting toward nuclear parity, and here we are, recycling the same failed playbook. Arms control via vibes and handshakes—because trusting Putin and Xi to pinky-swear their way to disarmament worked so well last time.

The math doesn’t lie: Cold War stockpiles could glass the planet a hundred times over. Modernizing them isn’t strategy—it’s a pissing contest funded by taxpayer dollars. But slashing budgets unilaterally? That’s not diplomacy; it’s naivety with a side of geopolitical Russian roulette.

Maybe focus on not setting the Middle East and Ukraine ablaze first. Priorities, folks.

Yeah with all the ways he seems to be actively trying to ruin the country I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised to see him have the US do it first and then the others "can follow" after they see we did it.

Except what they'll follow with are nukes aimed at us to ensure we can never get in their ways again. :/

As long as he gets a few million Rubles and Yuan in his pocket, he would absolutely do this.
