He is a genius, you know.

It's Vlad's birthday, and Trump is giving him all sorts of gifts today.

Putin's October...it's only the 7th

...and it won't stop.

He must smell the walls craving on him. I'm pretty sure the USA still have eyes and ears on Russia.

Tom Nichols, said "There is literally NO reason to do this . . . "

They should align them to pick up the slack and disregard any BS that Dump tries to decree.

Benedict Donald.

Even after he's gone down, he'll go on creating his own reality show in his own liddl' head. There's a bend and he's already around it.

No, wishful thinking.

But it'll be fun watching him crash after a lifetime of coke and stimulants and depressants. After a lifetime of a "high" life and the guy in the bunk next to him doesn't even want to give a shit.

Please, let this be on T.V. Just like the last days of Saddam.

I wish that dumb fuck would stroke out... tonight.

I also wish every dumb fuck congress person that lost their balls also strokes out... tonight.

Just in case his favorite store is closed(impeached and removed from office).

runs to avoid prosecution for his crimes.

But maybe we can see him from Sarah Palin's house.

Everything Trump doe benefits Putin.

waning, so blow everything up now while we can.

I don’t care what anyone says or thinks, we are watching treason before our eyes. Semantics, technicalities and legalese be damned. This is treason.

We can fly over Russia and observe and they can fly over us. This ends that.

Of course, this also poses some other problems. What about Crimea? Or occupied Georgia?

Also the whole point of this treaty was to watch each others troop deployments. Obviously our deployments are a bit public. Not so much in Russia. Is Putin planning more deployments? Such as near Ukraine? Or somewhere else we don't expect, don't think he'll go after the Baltics....controlling regions that resented Moscow's rule helped bring down the USSR. But are there other areas we don't see on the radar?

But the catch is the restrictions are in the details. The flights are scheduled, the routes preapproved, and the sensor suite is nothing special as it all has to be approved and available to all signatories. Resolution on the cameras is limited by treaty. Observers from the country being flown over also ride along on the flight.

From an intelligence viewpoint, these flights provide very little for the reasons listed above. It's more of a friendly gesture then an actual intelligence asset.

satellite imagery is great but doesn't show everything. Flyovers are more targeted by location and have different types of sensors. It's mostly a gesture of goodwill through transparency.

Doesn’t withdrawing mean other country’s militaries can’t overflight America? That could be pretty convenient in some situations.

I worry about that as much as other countries using this as a reason to also withdraw.

As long as NATO remains intact and our allies share intelligence and they keep overflight rights losing our overflight doesn’t matter so much.

Us being blind or more invisible worries me.
