Russia problems of America

This weekend I read an article titled “U.S. Says Russia Tested Missile, Despite Treaty” by Michael R. Gordon. This article was published on January 29^th in the New York Times (online). Unfortunately, the title ruins any suspense I could have created about the situation. The story goes that Russia made a treaty with Ronald Reagan which states that Russia is not to fire any more medium range missiles and, well… they did.

 This article stuck out at me most because it supplied the terror of imminent death that everyone needs on a Saturday morning before their first cup of coffee. There are two reasons that Americans should be concerned about this:

1.       This treaty was what basically finalized the end of the Cold War and Russia has now ignored it, leaving them with more military freedom to be used for some greatly unimportant reason like using the missiles to exterminate all mosquitoes somewhere near North Korea.

2.        Russia is pushing their luck with ignorance of a treaty dating back to the Cold War, conflict with us on how to end fighting in Syria, harboring an American fugitive, and Putin’s presidency.

Oh, and I forgot something else, this is a country with so much power, it gave America the cold shoulder. There has been persistent military buildup in Russia while in America, the land of the free and home of many delicious foods, we were doing military cuts on nuclear weapons. To compensate, we have to stop our cuts on nuclear weapons to solve this problem.

Now Republicans are angry that nobody is taking any action against Russia. So of course, they wrote a letter telling the White House to do something, which is flat-out ridiculous because houses can’t solve problems. Democrats, I assume (because I have and will only read one article), are trying to come to some kind of compromise with Russia. Americans are waiting to hear what the President has to say, unless they didn’t know about this article until I spoiled their breakfast burrito at McDonald’s. If the latter is the case, “Guess what! World War 3 is coming early this year and our government is too ____________________(please insert descriptive word of choice) to do anything about it.

On the upside, the weather is getting a little cooler with no chance of nuclear radiation until half past four, but that is what the politicians told me and they are always wrong about these kinds of things.
