Making this thread because of Trumps announcement that the United States is going to begin the process of withdrawing from the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty. This is less a discussion of fear mongering that we're all going to die, and more about a few other points, mainly.
What should replace this treaty? I think internationally binding agreements can be useful, for peace, and while 'peace' might be a loose term for the internal moral struggle we are all with it is still better [if only slightly] than the threat of Nuclear Armageddon. More accurately though, is that the wording of the President makes it seem as though he is open to the idea of replacing a 30 year old treaty with a new one, that better reflects modern missile technology.
Baring that, and that nuclear re-armament occurs, what type of missiles are we likely to see inplaced into America's military bases inside of the European Union? How will society at large adjust to the shifting idea of a return to a warmer Cold War, as nuclear missiles move and shift and production returns to the levels we had seen between the 50's and 70's? (Which is not a likely event, but is a possibility) Do you believe we will see modern films in the vein of Threads and The Day After? Personally, I think the return of anti-nuclear movies and film [as compromised by Jewish influence as the film industry is. 'comprised' even being the wrong term, seeing as it is almost entirely constructed around their influence] would be interesting to see. The idea of showing a modern world, with advanced communication technology falling apart in the years, months, days, and minutes before Nuclear fire burned out Major cities would be interesting. I think also, having films showing modern Americans what they world would possible be like, after Nuclear war, and having it focused on people in the middle of the country, or far from the area's worst impacted by a nuclear attack would be an interesting fictionalization.
What though, do you think will be the larger, non-reactionary element of this choice? I know it will slip out of the news cycle, but Nuclear Disarmament and Non-proliferation is a large issue in the political system for me. I think a better treaty can be established, that allows fair terms for both the United States, and our brothers in Russia. What do you think are the chances that this is the first steps to a new, modern Nuclear War? In the next 5, 10, and 20 years, how do you think withdrawl from this might affect the world, mainly the relationship between Europe, the US, and Russia?
