In the US Senate, they called for talks with Russia after Putin’s words on new weapons.

A group of senators appealed to US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson with an appeal to start a dialogue with Moscow after statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin about a new weapons.

In the US Senate, they called for talks with Russia after Putin’s words on new weapons.




The strategic dialogue between the US and Russia became more relevant after a public speech by President (Vladimir) Putin on 1 March, when he mentioned several new types of nuclear weapons that Russia is reportedly developing, including a cruise missile and a nuclear underwater drone. Now they are not limited to the START-3 agreement and destabilize (the situation) if they are deployed
- says the letter, which was signed by the Democrats Jeff Merkley, Dianne Faynstin, Edward Markey and independent Senator Bernie Sanders.

None of the authors heads any committee of the Senate; they are also not supported by the Republican-controlling republicans.

The senators' statement also notes that the new types of weapons presented by Putin, in particular, a cruise missile and a nuclear underwater drone, are not subject to the START-3 treaty, so the United States must begin negotiations with Russia to update this agreement.

As the authors of the appeal explain, in the event of an extension of the treaty, it will be possible to verify how Russia complies with nuclear weapons limits and reduces arsenals.

The dialogue with Russia, in the senators' opinion, should allow settling disagreements around the treaty on the elimination of medium and shorter-range missiles (INF).

The new START Treaty entered into force in 2011 year. It remains in effect for 10 years - until the 2021 year, unless it is replaced before this date by a subsequent agreement on the reduction and limitation of strategic offensive arms. It can also be extended by no more than five years (that is, until 2026 of the year) by mutual agreement of the parties.

      They had not really come down to negotiations to see their knees trembling with fear, but what about their "exclusivity". The naive will now want to drive Russia back into some sort of treaty on limiting this weapon. There should not be any agreements with the USA because they do not comply with them.

    The "gentlemen" only start talking about negotiations when they start to lose - they turn on the naive regime, offering us to give up weapons against which they have no antidote, in return promising only pats on the shoulder with some mitigation of rhetoric. I hope that ashes will not go to unequal exchanges in favor of the American "partners", who openly declare that Russia is their enemy, and the Americans themselves will not go to equivalent (curtailing their military bases, including missile defense bases around Russia's borders, for example).

    The United States is pragmatic and until they sort through all the options for an answer, they won’t take up negotiations. The news is positive because it says that they have nothing to counteract with the new Russian weapons.
    Particularly ridiculous is their recent attempt to threaten Russia with submarines.
