The US Congress introduced a bill "Termination of Russian nuclear aggression"
It became known about the bill introduced by the US congressmen for consideration by both chambers of the US legislative body. The bill concerns a proposal to officially prohibit the extension of the START III Treaty (on the limitation of strategic offensive arms).
Representatives of the US Congress Tom Cotton and Liz Cheney declare that funding for the extension of the START III Treaty will not be made until the US President confirms Russia's agreement on a controlled (American) reduction of the nuclear arsenal, including a tactical one.
The bill has a corresponding name - “Termination of Russian nuclear aggression”. It would have been difficult to come up with such a formulation, but not to the American legislators. The title is a clear hypocrisy for several reasons. The only country that applied nuclear weapon against another country, are the United States themselves. Also, the United States managed to flood with nuclear weapons (so far - tactical) European countries, including Germany and Italy, openly violating the non-proliferation treaty.
The authors of the initiative on non-renewal of the contract without obtaining "guarantees of the controlled destruction of part of the arsenal by Russia" declare that 2021 may be the last year when the United States will comply with its part of the agreement with Moscow.
In other words, the message of the American lawmakers is as follows: Russia must necessarily allow American observers to its nuclear facilities, and then begin to dispose of a certain number of nuclear warheads. And only then the United States extended the contract. At the same time, nothing is said about allowing Russian specialists to visit nuclear facilities with the United States in order for the Russians to monitor the implementation of the START treaty by the Americans.
