The Treaty Is Dead. Relax.
Arms control ends, constraints remain
"For the first time in more than 50 years, the worldβs two largest nuclear powers will face no formal limits on their nuclear arsenals. (...) Nevertheless, it is highly unlikely that a new major nuclear arms race is looming, at least for now."

Orban declares Ukraine 'enemy' of Hungary
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized Ukraine for calling on the EU halt imports of cheap Russian energy. "Anyone who says this is an enemy of Hungary, so Ukraine is our enemy," he said at ...
The #EU must treat the Orban regime as a direct security threat. He is working closely with Trump and Putin, both of whom have defined #Europe as their enemy.
On behalf of all Europeans, I demand immediate action;
Withdraw all EU funds, remove voting rights, do something!
