00:00Russia just made a move that could push the world closer to nuclear danger, and it's not the first time.
00:05Russia has officially pulled out of the INF Treaty, the Cold War-era agreement that banned a whole class of nuclear missiles.
00:12This comes just days after a fiery online clash between Donald Trump and Dmitry Medvedev.
00:18Trump threatened action over Russia's war in Ukraine.
00:22Medvedev fired back with warnings of war, not with Ukraine, but with the U.S. itself.
00:26And then Trump doubled down, announcing that two U.S. nuclear submarines would move closer to Russia.
00:33Now let's rewind. The U.S. actually exited this same treaty back in 2019 under Trump's leadership.
00:40So is this just political posturing? Maybe. But when nuclear weapons are involved, it's never just talk.
00:46The INF Treaty once eliminated nearly 2,700 missiles. Its collapse removes a vital safety net.
00:52And with the last major arms deal, New Start, hanging by a thread, the future looks even more uncertain.
00:59In a world where words can launch missiles, the silence of broken treaties could be the loudest threat of all.
