Ex-Trump Adviser Wants Him to Reverse 30-Year-Old Nuclear Weapons Policy

Jun 18, 2024


An ex-adviser to former President Donald Trump encouraged him to reverse a nuclear policy that has been in place for 30 years.

On Monday, former White House National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien under Trump's administration, published an essay in the Foreign Affairs magazine, discussing Trump's presidency and how he encouraged peace across the globe.

In the essay, O'Brien goes on to discuss the different nuclear arsenals of countries such as China and Russia and calls on Trump to resume live-testing nuclear weapons.

"The triad has become more important in recent years as China and Russia have modernized their nuclear arsenals. China has doubled the size of its arsenal since 2020: a massive, unexplained, and unwarranted expansion. The United States has to maintain technical and numerical superiority to the combined Chinese and Russian nuclear stockpiles," O'Brien wrote.

"To do so, Washington must test new nuclear weapons for reliability and safety in the real world for the first time since 1992—not just by using computer models. If China and Russia continue to refuse to engage in good-faith arms control talks, the United States should also resume production of uranium-235 and plutonium-239, the primary fissile isotopes of nuclear weapons."

Former President Donald Trump gives the keynote address at Turning Point Action's "The People's Convention" on June 15, 2024, in Detroit, Michigan. On June 17, 2024, a former Trump adviser encouraged him to reverse a 30-year-old nuclear weapon policy.

What a lying sack of excrement.

It was not Russia that refused to engage in talks and ended arms control agreements, it was Trump.
He abandoned the INF. He did nothing for START. He weaponized space in violation of the Outer Space Treaty.
He built more nukes and committed to trillions of spending that will make sure the nuclear threat persists for many generations.
Now, one of his advisers wants him to quit the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Trump in his last rally was talking about an enormous dome project over the U.S. that would be like Iron Dome on steriods.

So that we can build more nukes and threaten more. Regardless that it won't be able to stop Russia's warheads.

Cold War 2.0 doesn't make us safer. It makes us more likely to die.

That same Iron Dome which Hezbollah has shown that it can get overwhelmed that system is nothing but "Tough Talk"

A former advisor that Trump will ignore and whom he probably ignored when he was an advisor, just Like Bolton.

And we should have strong defenses.

So.......

He will not do what he has done in the past because he has done that in the past, so he won't do it....but if he does do it, don't worry because he's done it in the past.

Note: We are in a post-Bolton Trump reality.

Trump's go-to will be Bibi.
