Washington Free Beacon: White House Blocks Pentagon Report on Russian Treaty Breach
House chairman urges fast U.S. response to Moscow’s INF missile breach.
The White House is blocking the release of a Pentagon risk assessment of Russia’s violation of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, according to a senior House leader.
Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee, disclosed the existence of the Pentagon assessment last month and said the report is needed for Congress’ efforts to address the problem in legislation.
“As we look to the near-term future, we need to consider how we’re going to respond to Russia’s INF violations,” Rogers said in an Air Force Association breakfast July 8. “Congress will not continue to tolerate the administration dithering on this issue.”
WNU Editor: Russia has denied these claims in the past .... Russia rejects U.S. accusations of nuclear treaty breach (Military Times) .... but apparently this Pentagon report is more detailed. What's my take .... they should release the report.
