Last pillar of military transparency has been brought down

in data
After the Bush administration withdrew from the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002, the Trump administration after withdrawing from the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty intends to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty (not counting the JPCOA as the iranian nuclear program is civil). Differently from the first two that are obsolete because of new times and new challenges, the third one's obsolence depends on your point of view.
Does he care about his nation's allies? No if it compromises critical infrastructures' secrency. Exceptional for Germany that all political factions criticize the United States of America without blaming something to the opposite side, sign that they're really afraid. Since european nations are heavily relient on u.s intelligence and logistic, they will be left exposed to russian surveillance amd unable to conduct proper counter-surveillance (they rarely surveil each other). It's a miscalculation as deleterious as your overseas bases in Europe being surveilled because, well, are hosted by a signatory. It's easy to fool an ignorant president easily influenced.
A cover for tracking over war towns too. Since the «russian election meddling» erupted, there have been meltdows at anything Russia does 5000 miles away from the u.s coasts. Sensitive infos are collected via satellites, SIGINT and ELINT. For the USA isn't an intelligence asset but when Tim Cotton, longtime lobbyist for withdrawal, says that "the treaty died an asset of russian intelligence" he's convinced that Russia is a «gas station with nukes».
Hawaii is subject to an artificial restriction imposed after a 500 km limit in lenght was imposed on Kaliningrad. Russian officials argued that they were forced to halt commercial flights costantly because of quotas abuse by Poland. Since quotas are calculated by the principle of giving and receiving and the two in dispute have 42 active each, their passive quota is also 42. Moreover data can be shared so even if the USA withdraws, it will be still able to collect data through NATO members. If there should be one who is justified of complaining, it's exactly Russia. I believe that it wants to withdraw from all Gorbachov's treaties but it fears the information backlash if it does it first.
Solid piece of datapoints. The process is stalling because of an infighting and will be stalled more by the Congress' pretense, per the National Defense Authorization Act, to have the final word (i prefer this option since would expose the Democrats' hypocrisy). Remember when Trump promised during the election campaign to replace old deals deemed unfavourable with new favourable deals? If you believe a deal is negotiated between you and yourself, go immediately to the psychiatrist. "Habitual quitter" the definition given by the chinese foreign ministry's spokesman Zhao Lijian after Donald Trump decided to officially stop funding the WHO, the China that is precondition to extend START-3 (and for obvious reasons don't have interest to). The Kremlin must be clear: either you don't share data with non-signatories or we will be out.
