Trump has declared the Open Skies treaty void, without bothering with the congressional approval needed to void a treaty. This treaty allows planes to scout for things like nuclear explosions, or preparations for invasion. Trump is not only ignoring the law which gives congress the ability to nullify treaties, but is trashing the only planes designed to look for nukes or potential invasions. This is in case Biden attempts to rejoin the treaty, say by notifying everyone that Trump hasn't the authority.
The only member of the treaty who has been invading people lately? Russia?
Just to let you know who Trump is really working for. Now why would Putin want the treaty voided? I wonder...
Now the planes Trump is destroying aren't the only recon aircraft in the Air Force inventory. Other planes can go in. Thing is, the planes being destroyed are 1950s relics, and many of the other aircraft are much newer and less expendable. I'll bet on much newer reconnaissance drones being used.
Just one more reason to listen to Andrew Weissman and prosecute DJT to the fullest extent possible. There are actions that go beyond the pale, and turning the other cheek only assures they will happen again if anyone of Trump's ilk is ever elected to that august office.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
