The censorship grows and worsens.

Roberts, 79, served in the Reagan administration from 1981 to 1982. He was formerly a distinguished fellow at the Cato Institute and a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution, and has written for the\u00a0Wall Street Journal\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Businessweek. <\/em>Roberts\u00a0maintains an active blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He’s also vehemently against interventionary wars around the world<\/strong>, and spoke with Russia’s state-owned\u00a0Sputnik<\/a>\u00a0news in a Tuesday article\u00a0– in which Roberts\u00a0said that President Trump’s decision to pull out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty was a handout to the military-security complex.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Reagan administration official clarified that he does not think “that the military-security complex itself wants a war with\u00a0Russia, but\u00a0it does want an enemy that can be used to\u00a0justify more spending.<\/strong>”\u00a0 He explained that the withdrawing from\u00a0the INF Treaty “gives the military-security complex a justification for\u00a0a larger budget and new money to\u00a0spend: manufacturing the formerly banned missiles.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
