Washington Post editorial: Russia and the United States are wrecking a landmark treaty

The Washington Post Editorial Board has published an opinion, calling for the preservation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, signed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and U.S.S.R. Premier Mikhail Gorbachev in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 8, 1987. The Washington Post editorial asserts that the U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin administration's recent actions are putting this foundational treaty at risk, which could significantly worsen an already deteriorating nuclear weapons tension even more.
