Trump: US to Build Up Nuclear Arsenal Until Russia, China Come to Their Senses

SPUTNIK NEWS / BATTLE FOR WORLD – October 22, 2018: The article highlights that the United States of American will continue to develop its nuclear weapon stockpile, the US president told reporters Monday (October 22), until nations around the world come to their senses.

(BattleForWorld: The reader should also keep in mind that while Russia has destroyed its chemical weapons under the verification of the OPCW organization, the United States however still has not destroyed all of its stockpile of chemical weapons – claimed only 90% of its stockpile. And that it does not have the funds allocated to begin the process of destruction. According to the NewYorkTimes: “The United States, he [President Putin] said, “is unfortunately not observing the deadline for destroying chemical weapons” based on treaty obligations. “They have pushed the date back three times, citing lack of budget funding. Frankly, this sounds strange, but whatever.” And the US official position is that “The United States remains committed to the complete destruction of its declared chemical weapons stockpile by the end of 2023.”” Now, back to the START treaty, which is due to expire in 2021. Note the coincidence of the year date if world war should breakout that the US would still have access to its remaining chemical weapons stockpile.)

The threat was directed at China and Russia, the president emphasized. Trump did not elaborate what it would take for China and Russia to show they’d “come to their senses” regarding the development of nuclear weapons.

The Russian Security Council said Monday that “the Russian side has again voiced its principal position on the importance of maintaining the treaty in force, and has also voiced its readiness to work together on eliminating the mutual claims related to the implementation of this treaty,” Sputnik News reported
