US to quit INF nuclear treaty. China, Russia prepare for war

[hater]

Yeah, but China had no incentive to join as long as we were committed to staying in INF without China in it.

Also, the F-35 is actually doing much better these days. Just last month Belgium, which was under huge pressure by France and others to buy European made planes, ended up buying the F-35s for their air power modernization.

“China had no incentive” of course USA said that with no proof. China never said they didnt want to negotiate. USA assumed it but in tuth they never planned to invite china to talks because the end goal was to get out of the treaty altogether

What's the incentive for China to join if we were committed to staying in the treaty without them?

Nobody wants an arms race. I doubt they wanted one with US simce US has vastly more defense budget.

US wanted the arms race and got it. They have almost unlimited funds so it will be tough for china now. They would have prefered a deal

Trump couldn't have said it better himself.

Why doesn't the US just decrease the defense budget to zero

[Winehole23]

Just because some parties are not playing by the rules isn't a sufficient reason to ditch the rules.
