The only reason for Washington to withdraw from the [INF] treaty is to be able to place intermediate range nuclear missiles on Russia’s borders that would substantially increase the likelihood of success of a US first strike against Russia.
This apparently is not clear to the American people, media, and Congress, but it is clear to the Russians.

If we continue down this road, we ARE finished.
Here is a counter argument that withdrawing from the INF Treaty somehow benefits Russia:

Maybe that's true, but without question it FORCES Russia to rearm with INF weapons. And even if they were violating the treaty, it's likely they only did so to counter our relentless drive eastward.
Withdrawal from this treaty DOES NOT enhance US security. Doing so is an extremely bad idea.
