It’s not like we ever trusted the Soviets very much back in the day (i.e., as applied, it was about 0% trust and 100% verify).

Well, both the Soviet Union and the GOP have their own little version of MAD. One economic, one nuclear, but both very much a cut-off-nose-to-spite-face option.

The Soviets never pushed that button. We’ll see if the Republican Party can resist the temptation.
