'BradCast' 2/5/2019 (Former Deputy Assistant Sec. of State Michael Fuchs)
On today's show:\xa0 A landmark nuclear arms agreement between the U.S. and Russia is now history, and beyond a few short hours of media coverage, it is all but forgotten. Former Deputy Assistant Sec. of State under President Obama, MICHAEL FUCHS, discusses the Trump Administration's announced withdrawal from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) agreement struck between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, and explains the consequences, including how withdrawal from the agreement means the U.S. has lost the ability to inspect Russian nuclear missile sites and other weapons facilities. What did we gain in return? Well, pretty much nothing. We also discuss the real reasons why this "gift to Vladimir Putin" seems to have come about, the activities of Trump's dangerous National Security Advisor John Bolton, and Fuchs' assessment of the upcoming Trump's planned second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un \u2013 in the wake of Trump sending the message to the world that treaties between the U.S. and other nations are meant to be broken at the whim of an angry, brain-addled, clueless President of the United States. Also today: Federal prosecutors in New York have subpoenaed a massive number of documents from Trump's 2017 Inauguration Committee to investigate potential unlawful activity, adding to the list of multiple state and federal probes into the Trump Administration, and everyone involved in it, all at the same time. The dumbest man on the Internet (no, not Trump) tweets aggressively stupid falsehoods about solar power. The Trump Administration claims the State of the Union address will be a call for unity and cooperation, before the second dumbest man on the Internet (yes, Trump) verbally attacked Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
