While @realDonaldTrump brags about his "nuclear button," his admin keeps increasing the risk of nuclear war. The White House wants billions to upgrade nukes, the national security advisor hates arms control treaties, & we just began withdrawing from one. nytimes.com/2019/02/01/us/…
Yes, Russia has violated the INF Treaty. But our response shouldn't be to walk away, let Russia deploy as many missiles as it wants, & put our European allies back in the crosshairs of conflict.
Here's how we prevent a nuclear conflict:
1. Don't build new nukes.
2. Don't undermine arms control treaties that protect America & our allies.
3. Commit to never using a nuke first.
@realDonaldTrump is doing the opposite on all three. And that makes America less safe.
