US Ambassador: Russia is seriously violating the INF Treaty

77
The US side again accused Russia of violating the treaty on the elimination of medium-range and shorter-range missiles (INF). RIA News.



We believe that the INF Treaty is important, and we follow the letter of the agreement. Nevertheless, from the side of Moscow there are serious violations on the creation of new missiles. This is a threat not only to us, but also to our allies,
said the US ambassador to Moscow, John Tefft.

He stressed that "the Russian side has not yet recognized the existence of violations" of the contract on its part.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said earlier that Moscow was seriously concerned about “using the United States' non-argued data on the treaty as a pretext for a campaign of possible retaliation” against the Russian Federation.

According to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the Russian leadership “has repeatedly reaffirmed its commitment to the obligations under the INF Treaty” and “there have been no violations on our part”. He noted that "the United States claims the opposite, but it does not provide any specific information that could be checked in order to clarify the situation." The minister also stressed that Moscow “has very serious questions to the United States about certain“ liberties ”with the fulfillment of the treaty by the Americans themselves.”

          Well, we sin the same way, but on an equal footing. Recently, finally, new hahatushki in the marmots were launched on the pylons of the Bear, which is prohibited by the agreement. No, you can wet Basmachey, you can’t wear it on pylons, but the State Department has definitely allowed it.
          So the list of Russian violations according to the Pentagon: Missiles for Iskander with a range of up to 500 km, but with a missile up to 2, Boundary with a range of 500, but can land from 5.
          Fair. I won’t believe that this is not so. And the Yankees do not eat noodles from their ears
          Our objection: Here the Yankees completely froze. Two bases with universal launchers and thousands of B-61 unaccounted for RSMD. Fasten the warhead with the b-61 on the ax, then the technicians.
          Summary. Nefig violate Newton’s third law, and for a hidden ace up his sleeve they beat very painfully, and sometimes fatally.

        This feint has long been noticed before the strike. In the near future, they themselves will violate the INF Treaty. But all the Tollerasts will remember that there was a conversation for the Russians and all will condemn them.

        In reality, both parties violate this agreement. And by the way, the United States is somehow encrypted. We openly experience cr for the Bastions and Iskanders. At the same time, it’s clear to the hedgehog that if the Bastion carries Onyx, then it clearly can carry everything else that is launched from the USS on ships. And the mattresses are building a pro, which can also obviously be loaded with cr for working on the surface. The contract already becomes fictitious. request

This is not secret information. This is media data, mostly staff. An ax with a nuclear warhead could fly two hundred and fifty in range with a wagging tail. A guaranteed detection of only 50 km.

    Something has to be done for a long time with this agreement. Since 1987 30 years have passed. During this time, technology has already changed, which gives some opportunity for loopholes, plus these notorious missile defense systems, and the list of countries that have such weapons has become wider. It seems to me that the Americans and I need to sit down at the table and find a solution that suits both sides on each item. In a word, REVISE

    The gap in diplomatic relations is not a reason for war, it is its indicator.

    -------------------------------------
    Yes, not even an indicator. The evacuation of embassies and consulates, other citizens from country to country of residence is already a necessary measure before the outbreak of a hot war. And the breakdown of diplomatic relations between superpowers is beyond good and evil. If the United States wants to play "moral superiority" on all fronts, then Russia still has enough military means to simply grind the United States into road dust.
    PS Regular propagandists can call us anyone — a colossus with feet of clay, a yellow earthworm, an outcast country, and other epithets. But if our missiles take off, God forbid, then Dunkirk will be gone, and there will be a continuous fecal mass into which we will utilize the rest of the world.

    In general, I think that we should not speak, but show on TV screenshots from the periscopes of Dmitry Donskoy, screenshots from the radar monitors of the guidance of any military missiles, and other such cute postcards. This is better than any countervailing article about "Russian unwillingness." The United States helped to promote ISIS with all sorts of videos of the killings, and we also need to show "news from battlefields" more often. They tried to intimidate Stalin by testing a vigorous bomb. We also need to drive a potential “partner” into diarrhea.

We must understand the Americans for a long time, they will blame anyone without facts. For them, he said once, this is a fact and immediately all foreign media raise this topic. They count - that they exclusively convey the "truth", the rest only lie to the world. From their lies, nowhere to put a seal.
