Putin: Russia to suspend participation in last remaining nuclear treaty with U.S. -- Axios
After the sad charade from the IAEA regarding the shelling at Zaporizhia the Russians are rightfully wary of Washington's "international" institutions. They don't want the "inspectors" pilfering the newest generation hypersonic's secrets.
ReplyDeleteNuclear arms control died due to Biden administration incompetence in dealing with Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine and Libya gave up there nukes and technology, look what happened to both.
ReplyDeleteor big power
The word is if you have a nuke your safe from a USA invasion, ask Kim Jong Un, we'll do nothing to stop him.
Iran too, Israel and Ben Netanyahu will need to take care of that, just like they did with Saddam and Assad's nukes, BOOM!
Balless Biden, Blinken, Harris and Sullivan will jump up and down and scream but Israel is going in, with or without our support.
If Iran does get a bomb, the nuke arms race will spread like wildfire to Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain, and who knows, even Iraq.
and trump did what? kiss Putin's ass. Name a time, a place, an instance where Trump ever stood up to Putin...and even now, a failed president who lies about the election can not bring himself to say a bad word about the invasion of Ukraine by Putin.
ReplyDeleteEven before Mr. Putin dismissed the implementation of the treaty’s required inspections as “nonsense,” it was already in deep trouble. The State Department had announced last month that the Russians were out of compliance with their treaty obligations.
ReplyDeleteMr. Putin made clear that he was not pulling out of the treaty, which expires in February 2026. Nor did he threaten to deploy more strategic nuclear weapons — the kind that can soar across continents — beyond the limits of the treaty, which keeps both sides to 1,550 nuclear weapons.
But he made clear that the United States would not be inspecting Russian nuclear sites, a central element of verifying compliance with the treaty.

ReplyDeletePutin did not invade Ukraine when Trump was president, so no need for sharply worded diplomatic protests.
The same people, who complain about Trump not writing protest notes, thought it was great to waste Trump's time with the bogus Mueller investigation and impeachments.

Last month, the Treasury Department announced new sanctions against four Kremlin-linked figures for their efforts to interfere in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. The measures were met with acclaim as a long-awaited response to Russia’s interventions in American democracy.
In reality, though, these measures are little more than a pinprick — the latest episode in a long history of efforts by the Trump administration to appear tough on Russia while actually signaling to the Kremlin that U.S. elections remain open to interference. The simple fact is that even harsh-looking sanctions have little impact when there’s zero political will to enforce them.
The Treasury Department’s actions imposed asset freezes on Andriy Derkach, a Ukrainian politician and alleged Kremlin agent, and three mid-level bureaucrats at a Russian troll farm. None of these individuals, however, are likely to own significant financial holdings in the West, so the sanctions will have minimal impact on their lives. Even if they do, the measures will certainly not affect the Kremlin’s decision-making.
Putin did not invade Ukraine while Trump was president
ReplyDeleteright: he waited for Biden because he knew Biden would do nothing!
stop jerking off and get real
Putin didn't invade while Trump was president because Trump tried to stop the disastrous boomerang invasion of the Donbass. If the nazi occupied govt doesn't amass 80k troops to attack Donetsk then Russia doesn't invade. Simple as.

Trump has been reluctant to impose sanctions on Russia amid his efforts to improve relations between Washington and Moscow, and as recently as this week he continued his attempts to cast doubt on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Last year, the Trump administration was slow to enact sanctions punishing Russia for that interference.
ReplyDeleteA Senate aide said it was widely known among Democrats and Republicans working on sanctions that Trump was angry when the Treasury and State departments made the determination last fall that Russia was failing to prove it was no longer using chemical weapons, triggering a second round of sanctions under US law.
Though Treasury and the State Department had done all the legwork to prepare the mandatory sanctions, the White House failed to act on them.
With the sanctions more than six months overdue, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle moved this week to apply pressure.

If you really believe this two things are apparent
a. You have never served in the military during any type dignitary visit.
b. You do not understand the lengths that the USG especially the DoD, SS, and INTEL agencies go to protect the POTUS.
BTW. do you know how many US military people are in Kiev right now? I understand that the MIL Group has one 1000 personnel assigned to it. And that is just the MILGRP.
Really for Joe or Don or any other POTUS is does not matter, they do the same.
