Trump keeps telling our enemies what he's doing...

The United States is suspending its compliance with the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia on Saturday and will withdraw from the landmark 1987 arms control accord in six months if Moscow does not end its alleged violation of the pact, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday.

Russia denies violating the treaty, which bans either side from stationing short- and intermediate-range, land-based missiles in Europe.

If Russia is going to violate the agreement, why should we bother staying in compliance?

And in this case telling everyone as much might be enough to get players to the table to talk about it. I doubt it, but we cannot completely rule it out.

Only problem is the US was also violating the treaty... just saying.

That may help my argument, why have one that no one is in compliance with?
