Did I put that in there? I meant to include it. Great point. I love how that was done. I can't seem to remember the details so I can find more info. Have a good source?
On November 23, 2020, the United States formally exited the Open Skies Treaty.
“The Trump administration formally withdrew from the 34-nation Open Skies Treaty on November 22 after serving the obligatory six-months’ notice to do so in May this year. The treaty, which came to force in 2002, allows signatories to conduct reconnaissance flights over the territories of others on 72-hours notice in order to gather information about the military preparedness and other activities, effectively serving as a confidence-building measure. While not an arms control treaty by itself – its terms do not impose caps on weapons themselves – it serves to support verification of arms control agreements such as the Chemical Weapons Convention, among others.” https://archive.is/i2f43
Yes! I forgot to add that. Hanging and firing squad are being added to federal executions.
That’s actually a big tell. Why would he go to the trouble of adding those? Because it’s a message to the other side, is why....
And even our allies can’t fly over with the airspace treaty to see our movements. Remember we expired that recently?

Yeah, maybe you had it in there, it was pretty dense and intense! Here’s a reference for it though
