Ted Cruz Explains The Criteria That Democrats Seek When Entering Into Weapons Treaties | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said late last week that the criteria that Democrats look for when entering into weapons treaties with America's adversaries effectively allows the other countries to grow stronger militaries while knee-capping the U.S. armed forces.

    Cruz made the remarks during an episode of his podcast "Verdict."

    "There's nothing Democrats like more than a treaty that ties our hands, makes us weaker, and that lets the Russians and Chinese get stronger," Cruz told co-host Ben Ferguson. "Now, here's an amazing thing. I'm going to read you a headline from January 31, 2023. So not too long ago. 'U.S. says Russia violating New START nuclear arms control treaty.' So finally, the Biden administration was forced to admit that Russia was in violation because among other things, they refuse to allow inspection activities on its territory."

    "And by the way, this is the same problem with the Obama Iran nuclear treaty, where Obama trusted Iran to inspect itself and under the terms of the treaty, the inspectors could not go into military facilities. Well, guess what? That's where the Iranians put their nuclear research in military facilities, like Fordo, a research lab buried in a mountain, declared off limits," Cruz added. "So this is a pattern. It's a pattern from Obama. It's a pattern from Biden. It's a pattern from Democrats that they enter into agreements that weaken the U.S. militarily and that allowed the Russians and also allow the Chinese and also allow the Iranians to cheat and build up their military."

    SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): There's nothing Democrats like more than a treaty that ties our hands, makes us weaker, and that lets the Russians and Chinese get stronger. Now, here's an amazing thing. I'm going to read you a headline from January 31, 2023. So not too long ago. "US says Russia violating New START nuclear arms control treaty." So finally, the Biden administration was forced to admit that Russia was in violation because among other things, they refuse to allow inspection activities on its territory. So they say, 'Nope, you can't inspect it.' By the way. This is the same problem with the Obama Iran nuclear treaty, where Obama trusted Iran to inspect itself. And under the terms of the treaty, the inspectors could not go into military facilities. Well, guess what? That's where the Iranians put their nuclear research in military facilities, like Fordo, a research lab buried in a mountain, declared off limits. So this is a pattern. It's a pattern from Obama. It's a pattern from Biden. It's a pattern from Democrats that they enter into agreements that weaken the US militarily and that allowed the Russians and also allow the Chinese and also allow the Iranians to cheat and build up their military. And if you believe in peace through strength, you want the opposite. You want us stronger, and them weaker. The Biden approach. They're stronger and we're weaker.

Considering the renewed and unequalled dishonesty in elected politicians, at all levels of governing, and their associative nefarious bureaucrats doing their corrupt bidding: What is your opinion of YOUR government, and what do you intend to do about it?

  Today's overall government is just fine, and I will continue to vote for politicians that make promises to suit my individual needs.

  Today's overall government is poor, but I will continue to endeavor to learn what is true from the the most honest of media, and pick those representatives that best represent what is good and decent.

  I spend quite a bit of time on Eastern NC NOW; so ... I am having a far easier time separating the proverbial "wheat from the chaff" in finding honorable citizens to support.
