Russia Withdraws From The Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty

RT: Russia rules out new arms control deals with NATO  

There is no point in talks until the US-led bloc adopts more constructive and realistic positions, the Kremlin has said  

The Kremlin has formally withdrawn from a major Cold War-era arms control pact with the NATO military bloc, saying the outdated treaty was already dead for years and had completely “lost touch with reality” in the modern world. 

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the move on Tuesday, saying the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) had “finally become history” after prior steps to withdraw, the first of which dates back to 2007. While it originally “played a certain stabilizing role,” the deal was largely ignored by NATO members and thus has “ceased to meet the interests of Russia,” the ministry said.

  2. Russia violated the treaty during the signing and as the ink was drying. They violated the sufficiency rule.

    Think about it. how else could they sustain such colossal losses in armor, IFV and artillery if they had not?

  3. 7:37 AM- China, North Korea and Iran are resupplying them with everything they need. Million artillery shells from NK, drones and whatever else from Iran, China supplying whatever they need. Recall Jake the Snake and Blinky and FJB tell China you better not.

    After Yeltsin all these Treaties were thrown into the trash bin by Putin.
    Arms control and nuclear proliferation are dead for at least a generation. You can thanks Clinton, Bush, Obama and FJB for that disaster.

  4. you al are a bunch of liars.

    those treaties were unilaterally dissolved by the US. The Russians wanted to keep them.

    FU and read history and quit trying to gaslight everybody.

    ABM, SALT, and the rest those were US pullouts, by the way so was INF with fat ass mike pompano making unjustified clams of Russian non compliance.

    Why did the US do this?

    a. China

    B. So they could proceed with a more aggressive posture in Europe, like putting missile systems in Romania.

    C. Because they truly are stupid neocons, following a neocon agenda..

    There, now , welcome back from gaslight land and you have reality.

    The withdraw was not unexpected. The US has ended most arms control treaties it has signed.

    But

    define the "sufficiently rule". and then, exactly how the Russians violated it, if in fact they did do so.


    Your logic is flawed.

    Since when were Norkland and china supplying Russia with tanks, AFVs and artillery. what Russia is using or has burned through was Russian stock. Ergo they violated the treaty form day one.

    Russia is dying.

    Battle is joined and it is not Kupiansk, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, or Robotyne.

    Russia 's strategy is to throw all their men they have and don'lt have against the whole front hoping to attrite Ukrainians forces in to order to force a ceasefire or peace in the next few months.

    At a minimum it is trying to sop up any reserves to prevent a build up and a break out.

    Bludgeoning. That is all Russia has. It has no grace. Kind of like the vatnik turkeys here.


    Russians tank losses are tapering off. I have written before that tanks matter and they do not matter. Russia's tank losses are tapering off, because Russia looks like a fish flopping on a wrestling match. Pathetic!

    I am more interested in AD and fuel trucks. AD must be getting pathetic because the Ukrainians are flying the Bakytars again.

    AFVs? I wonder about those. I wonder if the tanks and AFVs go in with a full combat load of ammo. It might tell you something.

    At this points for Russians all AFVs are just a moving ready made coffin for about a dozen Russians being thrown away by people in Moscow with no dirt under their fingernails and baby soft white butts.

  7. Yeah the latest destruction of those allegedly Russian offensives did not look great for the Russians. But still WNU links to that Russian YT dudes channel that has never had any good to say about the Ukies to gaslight everyone to believe the Ukies are loosing every step of the way in this war. Thats fascinating to me.
