Inside the U.S. Senate resolution to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty.

It’s a Gong Show.

I know many people are not current regarding what’s been going on with the Open Skies Treaty. If you’re one of those people, there is currently a resolution tabled in the United States Senate, that was very briefly reported on in the media when news of it dropped ( reference “Cruz, Cotton: US should withdraw from surveillance flight treaty”, The Hill, October 30, 2019.) It hasn’t been withdrawn, can still be passed by the Republican majority in the Senate, and I have no doubt they’re intending to do just that. I want the public to understand how each item used by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), or whichever staffer tasked to write this, as a justification for withdrawing the United States from the Open Skies Treaty is at least misleading, or flat out lying. They’re trying to fool the Americans and public, knowing few have any idea how this treaty works, because that information has largely been suppressed. Unfortunately for them, I have a better than average understanding of how the treaty works, and I’m blowing the whistle.
