The Pentagon said on Monday that it had tested a conventionally configured ground-launched cruise missile with a range of more than 500 km (310 miles), the first such test since the US pulled out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF).
The United States formally withdrew from the landmark 1987 pact with Russia on Aug. 2 after determining that Moscow was violating the treaty, an accusation the Kremlin has denied.
Trump’s top aides keep dismissing signs of a recession — and creepily echoing their botched predictions of 2007
As economists and financial analysts sound the alarm that the risks of a recession rising, President Donald Trump and his advisers have their fingers in their ears.
It's far from guaranteed that we're headed for a recession, of course, but the administration's obliviousness to the warning signs may actually increase the danger. If the economy does start to falter, it seems there's no plan in place to halt the decline. And perhaps most disturbing of all for those of us who remember the 2008 crash, Trump's top aides are echoing the empty reassurances delivered under President George W. Bush in 2007.
Commentary
Trump will turn to these secret weapons in desperation if the economy collapses before the 2020 election
President Donald Trump, in recent weeks, has been stressing both economic themes and culture war themes. The economic themes were evident during a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire on August 15, when Trump tried to frighten 401(k) owners into reelecting him and insisted, “You have no choice but to vote for me because your 401(k), everything is going to be down the tubes (under a Democratic president). So whether you love me or hate me, you’ve got to vote for me.” But if the U.S. does go into a recession in the months ahead, Trump will have a harder time selling himself as the salvation of the American economy — in which case, he would likely become even more aggressive in pushing divisive culture war themes.
