Russia has been noncompliant for decades. Obama hid the confirming intel from Congress for years, until they wanted to look tough for the Iran nuclear deal. About time. Putin needs a jerk on his chain. Besides, why comply with a treaty unilaterally when others (China) are not signatories and are developing INF missiles?

This treaty was irrelevant a decade ago.

I am very confused on this. I though Trump works for Putin, so why would he dare yank the chain of his master? Very odd.
Of course it does get the old naugin a joggin, maybe this is exactly what Putin wants so he can increase his arsenal.

Of course it may be that Trump is so crazy and evil that he just wants war with Russia, however again this is at odds with the whole working for Putin thing.

Dam this is odd, I just can not get my head around this.

Read up a little to lessen your confusion. Putin has been "increasing his arsenal" for decades now, with nary a peep from GW or Obama. He needs to be called on it. And if you truly believe Trump "works for Putin" you desperately need some true information for a change.

I think he was being sarcastic. The BS story of Trump and Putin and Russia that we don't hear about anymore. One could argue that story backfired.
