Russian Cruise Missile, Deployed Secretly, Violates Treaty
How should our New President react?
Russian Cruise Missile, Deployed Secretly, Violates Treaty, Officials Say
WASHINGTON — Russia has secretly deployed a new cruise missile despite complaints from American officials that it violates a landmark arms control treaty that helped seal the end of the Cold War, administration officials say.
The move presents a major challenge for President Trump, who has vowed to improve relations with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and to pursue future arms accords.
The new Russian missile deployment also comes as the Trump administration is struggling to fill key policy positions at the State Department and the Pentagon — and to settle on a permanent replacement for Michael T. Flynn, the national security adviser who resigned late Monday. Mr. Flynn stepped down after it was revealed that he had misled the vice president and other officials over conversations with Moscow’s ambassador to Washington.
The ground-launched cruise missile at the center of American concerns is one that the Obama administration said in 2014 had been tested in violation of a 1987 treaty that bans American and Russian intermediate-range missiles based on land.

Where is the President on THIS ??
He certainly has time to release "twitter storms" on EVERYTHING ELSE !
Maybe as he jets off to Mar-A-Largo this weekend he can discuss this at the dining table with his invited guests to get their opinions.

Jan. 20, 2017 - "We'll make America Safe Again" - Donald J. Trump
Less than a month later, Iran has tested a missile, North Korea has tested a missile, and now Russia has deployed a missile.
I feel safer.
I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump

It would seem that the presidency of the United States should not be an entry-level position.
And that keeping the nation safe is not the same as conducting real estate deals.
Who da thunk it?

It should have become obvious by now that Donald Trump is in over his head. The job is simply not for him.

There WILL be BIGGER TESTS coming for Trump. The thing that strike me and likely a lot of all of you was his hubris in thinking ONLY HE can fix this whole thing. It has been shown already that his plan to defeat ISIS was not really any plan at all. The man is an obnoxious braggart. Hopefully, at least some of the people underneath of him have the expertise to navigate us through this next 4 years without a disaster.

Re: Russian Cruise Missile, Deployed Secretly, Violates Treaty
So, far, the only Trump reaction has been to say that Obama was weak on Russia.
Hey, Donald, you got the ball now. Don't whine. Show us the magic. Do something about Russia
