Reuters: Russia warns United States: the end of nuclear arms control may be nigh 

LONDON (Reuters) -Russia told the United States on Monday that the last remaining pillar of bilateral nuclear arms control could expire in 2026 without a replacement due to what it said were U.S. efforts to inflict "strategic defeat" on Moscow in Ukraine. 

Both Russia and the United States still have vast arsenals of nuclear weapons which are currently partially limited by the 2011 New START Treaty, which in 2021 was extended until 2026. 

What comes after Feb. 4, 2026, however, is unclear, though Washington has indicated it wants to reach a follow-on agreement with Russia. 

Asked if Moscow could envisage there being no nuclear arms control treaty after 2026, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the RIA state new agency: "This is quite a possible scenario."

Update: The Last Existing U.S.-Russia Nuclear Treaty Could Soon Fail (VICE)  

WNU Editor: The last thing that the world needs right now is another nuclear arms buildup. But if the START Treaty is not renewed and/or updated with a new nuclear arms control agreement, you can take this to the bank, a nuclear arms buildup will be the result. 

Update: The US is accusing Russia of already violating START .... US says Russia is violating key nuclear arms control agreement (CNN). More here .... US accuses Russia of violating nuclear treaty – media (RT).

Arms build up? That won’t happen in the US. There is no way the powers that be will allow the construction of new nuclear weapons.

/ they’ll all prolly be on the boards of the Chinese and Russian firms that build theirs.

Dumb AF Biden


"In his first phone call with Putin, President Trump blasted the START treaty as a bad deal that gave Moscow a free ride. Next month, the Pentagon officially came out and said what everyone knew.

This was a sharp contrast with the previous administration which had refused to detail Russian violations. It falsely claimed that it couldn’t answer the question because “the New START treaty forbids releasing to the public data and information obtained during implementation of the treaty.”

While Trump rejected an extension, Biden gave Putin a 5-year extension with no preconditions.

Now he’s whining.

The United States on Tuesday accused Russia of violating a major nuclear arms control agreement by not allowing on-site inspections and refusing to meet to discuss such concerns."

Trump angrily denounced the New Start treaty in a 28 January phone call to the Russian leader, according to sources briefed on the call. Reuters, which first reported Trump’s remarks, said the new US president also had to pause the hour-long call to ask what the New Start treaty was.
