The end of the INF Treaty, or how to destroy the world in several minutes
Apr 21, 2015
As the U.S. continues to accuse the Kremlin of violating the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, a new arms race between Moscow and Washington looms on the horizon.

Speaking at a conference on nuclear weapons and international security in Colorado Springs on Thursday, April 16, Assistant Secretary of State Frank Rose stated that the U.S. would retaliate if Russia did not stop violating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed in Washington in 1987.
Good Night
*Exit All
yet there is no communication
or even the will
to reduce an ever escalating nuclear peril,
as many too many monstrous tools
get into the hands of fools.
Sweet Princes and Princesses,
Let's all hope and pray for the best
and soon, Oh soon, some solution to these messes---
instead of , for all, eternal rest?

Oh, I’m dying, Horatio! This strong poison’s overpowering me. I will not live to hear the news from England. But I bet Fortinbras will win the election to the Danish crown. He’s got my vote as I die. So tell him that, given the recent events here—oh, the rest is silence. Oh, oh, oh, oh. (he dies)

Now cracks a noble heart.—Good night, sweet prince,
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!—
Why does the drum come hither?
| HORATIO
Now a noble heart is breaking. Good night, sweet prince. May hosts of angels sing you to sleep.—Why are those drums approaching?
