Remember this.
Remember why this happened?
Quote:
Propaganda is a funny thing. According to my info "Washington decided it would be cheaper to mix nuclear materials with special diluents. Russia insisted that the US was violating the terms of the deal, which required it to use a nuclear reactor to transmute plutonium. Unlike the mixing technology, the latter method makes the process irreversible.
The treaty between the US and Russia, which regulates how the two countries are to dispose of plutonium from nuclear warheads decommissioned as part of the parallel reduction of the two countries’ Cold War arsenals, was signed in 2000. Each country was required to dispose of over 34 tons of fissile material by turning it into so-called MOX fuel and burning it in nuclear reactors. However, costs for building a facility at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, where the US was supposed to fabricate MOX fuel from its plutonium, spiraled out of control. Under the Obama administration, the US decided that it would instead use the cheaper reversible process, arguing that it was in line with the spirit of the deal with Russia.
Russia expressed its concerns over the unilateral move in April, shortly after a nuclear security summit held in the US.
“We signed an agreement that the plutonium will be processed in a certain way, for which facilities would be purpose-built,” Putin said at the time. “We have met our commitments, and constructed the necessary facilities. The US has not.” So, you see, your analogy couldn't be further from the truth. USA was just acting shifty and wanting to keep their plutonium.

So yeah, the Untouchable 'can't do a thing wrong' Obama just adding to his long list of wrong doings then having the media pass it off as a Cold War v2 and the Russians are the big bad dudes.
Blaming Trump for something Obama effectively started
So you can actually pinpoint when and why Russia stopped disposing of Nukes. Increasing the stockpile won't be a problem now that Obama and co simply 'stored' them rather than dispose of them.
Annoys me that you have to sit right in the middle of Western and Eastern media to find that truth, it's even more alarming when on occasions it's the Russians telling the truth.
So all in all what's Trump going to do? He's not entirely right but it's acceptable, expand, match, whatever needs to be done until they can reach another resolution like the one they had under Obama but more effective and without the administration effectively sabotaging it with deception. Give him a fair break and see what happens, you'd be surprised at how much of a dick Obama truly is.
