In This Episode: “Right now we have been going along with a system that empowered Russia and China to misbehave in the international arena.”
The President recently announced his intention to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty and is considering restarting nuclear testing. Dana, Jamil, Jodi, and Les discuss the state of arms control and how the US should approach international agreements.

How should we deal with our allies who are stuck in the middle? All these questions and more answered in this week’s Fault Lines.
