"Failed idea": the United States rejected Putin's proposal to extend START-3 for a year

The United States rejected a proposal by Russian President Vladimir Putin to extend the Treaty on Measures to Further Reduce and Limit Strategic Offensive Arms (START, START-3) for at least one year without any additional conditions. This was stated by the US President's National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien.

O'Brien called Putin's proposal a "failure" without freezing the nuclear capabilities of both countries. According to him, Washington offered Moscow to extend the agreement in exchange for freezing the nuclear potential of the United States and Russia for a year.



Today's response from President Putin to extend the New START Treaty without taking into account the freeze on the nuclear arsenal is doomed to failure. The United States takes arms control seriously, which keeps the world safe. We hope Russia will reconsider its position before the costly arms race begins (...) would be a victory for both sides, and we thought the Russians were ready to accept this offer when I met with my colleague in Geneva

- said O'Brien.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed extending the START-3 treaty for at least one year without any additional conditions. According to him, the signing of the treaty will give the parties time to conduct meaningful negotiations, discussing all issues related to the limitation of nuclear weapons. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was instructed to try in the near future to get "at least some intelligible answer" from the United States.

        Failed? No, RIGHT! fellow

        Now there is a pre-election struggle and political turbulence in the States.

        Trump currently wants "good new deals" in his favor. We don't need this, because he is incapable of negotiating and pulls the blanket only over himself. At the same time, in a year, if he remains, Trump will no longer worry about re-election, and will be able to agree to a pragmatic agreement.

        If Biden wins, he will extend START III as Democrats are in favor of an extension now. He will not be re-elected due to age and illness either - as they say, grandfather is old, he doesn't care.

        Vladimir Putin's idea is to reach a real agreement without political hysteria. That is why he is successful as a leader. good

      That's right, Victor! An example of that is the USSR with SDI, the cunning Reagan caught us. Then
      Now they are also trying, then oil will be lowered to a minimum, then all sorts of sanctions are introduced (the United States has already recognized that sanctions on Russia have exhausted themselves ..., they do not work)
      I hope Russia will not get involved in the race especially .. The trick of the Russian weapon has always been simplicity and powerful destructive force, so to speak, a otvetka of the loan day (God forbid, of course) ..
      Oh, the Anglo-Saxons, what you were in your history, and so you have remained envious, greedy and double standards in politics ..

          So the fact of the matter is that this idea was a bluff of cartoons that alerted the leadership of the USSR .. Let's admit it and the response began too expensive, just in the early 80s, there is also Afghan, etc. and the oil dropped and everything coincided.

          The venality was Gorbach with Raika and other quiet singers who sat down in all state media (the same Gaidar is the editor-in-chief of the Kommunist magazine, Yakovlev is the ideologist of the CPSU Judas, etc.) The test shot was when sabotage with cigarettes began in the USSR .. This was the last humiliation of the Soviet people and the point of no return .. And then the process began. "freedom, democracy, collapse, enrichment and blood .." ..
          Thank God, they managed to stop at the last moment the already decided collapse of Russia and bloody turmoil.

But work on SDI cartoons were by no means spent on all these developments more than $ 100 billion, but the program indicated the appearance of such systems until 2025 - and yes, the Aegis system and the SM 3 rocket with orbital interceptors appeared just from SDI - and at the expense of drawing Russia into the arms race, we now spend 2.5 GDP on the military-industrial complex, and in the USSR more than 30% of the difference is significant, as you can see.

      Trump needs at least some "good deal", i.e. on its terms.

      The United States wants Russia to drag China into their "whore", and Beijing has long said that it does not play these games with mattresses. Here the GDP, knowing this, decently hinted to the mattresses that such things are not done so quickly and that it takes at least a year to convince Beijing to join the agreement, but mattresses, due to meagerness, need everything at once, and therefore in the foreseeable future they generally get what the hell.

    I propose to combine both proposals. The US is freezing its nuclear arsenals, and Russia is extending START III.
    Somehow the opinions are not happy. For some reason, everyone somehow thinks that the disagreement of the parties is bad.
    Let's see it from a different angle.
    Talk about freezing !. Those. stop at a certain level or even lower it. The reason may be the loss of competence by the United States itself in the field of nuclear weapons. So much has been written about it here. And this news may turn out to be a confirmation of which has been written repeatedly. The high-tech colossus also had feet of clay.

    The essence of the disagreement is as follows. Russia has fewer delivery vehicles than is allowed under START III. The United States has more carriers than it should be under START III. Thus, Russia wants to equalize the strategic nuclear forces (increase its own and reduce the American). The US wants to maintain its advantage.

      Previously, he also gave instructions to stop pestering the States about this. Under these conditions, China will not stick its head in a noose, the story with Kim has shown that Donald "our" Trump "respects" everyone who has a "bomb" and is willing to use it. That is, there are two sufficient conditions: "bombs" and "readiness to use". They don't negotiate with the weak. The weak are dictated by the conditions: how much and in what time frame to pay, in which cell to put a saucer with a blue border.

    The second time (or maybe even more, honestly, I didn’t count) the proposal comes from the GDP in the style of "oh, let's leave everything as it is - everything was so good, just like in the good old days" - he offered this to the Japanese in the Kuriles now offering to Americans. Is it bad with imagination or "no time to swing"?
    Hedgehog, after all, it is clear that this is an empty shaking of air. If we need a concrete result - we need to organize a pan-European dispute regarding nuclear weapons - tell these guys in paints that in connection with the US withdrawal from the treaties on international nuclear security, now, if there is American nuclear weapons anywhere in Europe, these countries are in conflict situations will be hit first, so to speak, massively.
    Put it on the negotiating table in front of the Europeans and say - gentlemen! Today the world is heating up, and you have the opportunity to take Europe out of the third (and last) tin and hardcore - and we are ready to remove our self from the European borders, if you do the same.

        This is a false idea. European democratic institutions are not fictitious. If you approach the matter wisely, this will be a serious trump card in the national elections to the EU core - and there now the attitude towards the atom and radioactive contamination is quite unambiguous (considering what is happening with nuclear power plants in Germany).
        It is also worth understanding that the top of our country does not at all consider the Europeans to be someone's satraps (in fact), although they use this point of view in state propaganda. Suffice it to look at what efforts we made to join and become a member of various European organizations, as well as the fact that in the "satrapy" we would have been vryatli allowed to lay gas pipes, everything would be quite unambiguous and without resistance.
        Now the European politicians are trying to distance themselves from the United States (which the United States does in every possible way) - we must participate in this game, it is in our interests.

            Investigation of incidents has a very concrete basis - in the past we have repeatedly abducted or persecuted people in Europe (this was a common practice in the USSR), then we denied everything and lied. In the new Russia, there were also incomprehensible episodes (such as the poisoning of Litvinenko or that ill-fated Skripal and his daughter) - and poorly directed "fitness instructors" did not convince either Europe or even our own population, for the most part.
            You have to understand that we have what Europe needs - but unnecessary kissing with us can cost years of political career there, quite specific individuals. In the event that it is documented that our country uses this and that. On the one hand, Europe needs our Deshman gas, on the other, it is interested in us being in a position in which they could not even think about some kind of "price increase" or the use of the pipe in additional preferences. There is a Washington lobby that promotes LNG and builds its career, including on excavating the "Russian trail" in order to torpedo its opponents, and there are traditionalist pragmatists who have been in power for many years (like Merkel), and for whom it is JUST_CHEAP_GAS. They do not love us, and do not hate us - they have a completely different view of things.
            In their world, the income of their states and the stability of the EU as a structure directly depend on cheap energy resources and maximum access to ALL sales markets. For this, among other things, they disagree with Washington on the issue of new sanctions for Iran - Iran is the market they are interested in and the periphery of their security.

            Europe is interested in OWN income and its own security. These are two factors in which her views can be great at odds with Washington - and we can use this. Regardless of whether we like their policies or not. Not everyone in the EU is our friends - we have few friends at all. But there are pragmatists there who can agree with us - if we paint a picture of the threat to their European security from the impending collapse of agreements on nuclear weapons.

            As for SP2, it's being built, isn't it? The EU countries did not stand in a friendly formation against him? Consequently, the picture is not as straightforward as our propaganda paints it.

    Very bad news. Not the extension of START III is an indicator that the United States is ready for a negative scenario. Which one, I don't know, but clearly not to a truce or trade. Moreover, Putin's proposal V, V. only for a year, and not for the prescribed 3 years, did not find understanding. It says a lot.

    This is not an indicator at all. Their biggest problem is their President Trump, who behaves like an elephant in a china shop, destroying everything that gets in his way. And the first thing that he does not like is the agreements that his predecessors concluded. They are not ready for a negative scenario. The Americans were in a state of euphoria from the collapse of the Union and did not consider Russia a threat. As a result, time was lost. And now, in order to bring their strategic nuclear forces into a state that will allow them to operate their strategic nuclear forces for another 30-50 years, they have to "break". And they have more than strategic programs that require their implementation.
    1. Replacement of ground-based ICBMs. Although the Minutemans have undergone a multilevel modernization, they are unlikely to be in service for another 30-50 years. The development of a new ICBM has just started.
    2. Replacement of SLBMs with their own SSBNs and SSBNs themselves. We will have to replace the existing Ohio-class missile boats with Columbia-class boats. And the Tridents themselves already have a service life of almost 30 years. In the future - a new SLBM "Trident E-6", but there is still no horse lying around
    3. A promising strategic bomber. The youngest B-52 is already 57 years old. Regular modernization allows you to extend its operation, but the glider does not last forever. Their promising B-80 bomber at the beginning of the 1s "fell victim" to the B-2 bomber program, and then to the START Treaty. Now we are talking about the new B-3 (B-21). What it will be like and how much it will be able to replace the same B-2, B-1 and, in the future, B-51 - no one knows.
    4. The biggest problem for the United States is the state of the US nuclear weapons complex. Its degradation was again due to the euphoria from the collapse of the USSR. Now the state of the nuclear weapons complex is such that only starting from about 2030 (the optimistic option), but most likely from 2035, the United States will be able to again produce new charges for its nuclear weapons. In the amount of 80 units per year. Now it can only carry out the modernization of its nuclear reactors (in particular, the refabrication of plutonium) in an amount of about 300-350 BGs per year.
    5. The most serious headache for the United States is the beginning of the deployment of hypersonic weapons systems in Russia. The Americans began work on the motor hypersound before us, but for some reason, after successful tests, they froze the programs for creating the X-51 and X-43. So now the US is hardly ready for a negative scenario with regard to Russia.

    In fact, the START Treaty was signed in 2011, and the US ABM Treaty was withdrawn in 2002, when the US strategic missile defense began to be deployed. And the treaty-limited warhead is not capable of intercepting the US missile defense system as it exists. From the word at all.

    "Horses, people mixed together ...."
    What a mess in your head, dear. Russia began to shut down its military reactors that produced PLUTONIUM after they had already exhausted their resource, having worked for 30-40 years. Moreover, it began to jam in 1992. The Plutonium Disposal Treaty came into effect in 2011, after the last of the decommissioned reactors was shut down, i.e. in 2010. So no one under this agreement jammed the reactors and ruined the nuclear industry. By the way, not all plutonium-producing reactors have been decommissioned, although there is no need for them. Russia has sufficient reserves of plutonium (according to open data - about 120 tons versus 60 tons for the United States.
    The HEU-LEU Treaty was in effect from 1993 to 2013. In principle, Chernomyrdin, as one of the signatories of this agreement, needs to erect a monument because he signed this agreement on the sale of 500 tons of highly enriched uranium diluted to low enriched uranium (14446 tons of LEU). The total income of the Russian side from the implementation of the Agreement is about $ 17 billion, budgetary receipts - $ 13 billion.
    Of course, we can say that it could have been sold at a much higher price, this has been discussed many times, but the most important thing is that we have planted American nuclear power plants on uranium needle. As a result, they lost their uranium enrichment competencies. The gaseous diffusion production was closed for known reasons, the centrifugal one was not established. And now, for their nuclear power plants, the Americans are forced to buy low-enriched uranium from several countries, incl. and from Russia.

    He still suits the United States as a country, and many American military understand this. This does not suit Trump and his administration in the first place. If he had signed this agreement, it would have been the best agreement that the United States would have signed. But alas. Obama signed it - it means he is bad.
    We know about offers only fragmentarily. You propose to extend START-3 without any preconditions. USA first offered
    1. Participation in the treaty of China
    2. Russia's non-deployment of heavy Sarmat missiles
    3. Russia’s not deploying hypersonic weapons systems. Then the US will agree not to develop a new ICBM and to extend the treaty. Now they are offering Russia to freeze its nuclear potential without freezing its own. Of course, Russia will not agree to this

    LEARN THE MATCH, Victor. This means - read the contract carefully. Back in 1979, when the SALT-2 contract was concluded, restrictions were imposed on the number of warheads on delivery vehicles.
    1. On ICBMs - no more than 10 BG
    2. On SLBMs no more than 14 BG
    3. On strategic bombers - no more than 28 cruise missiles.

    Therefore, all the talk on the net that "Sarmat" will carry 15-20 and more BGs is nonsense. If it is, it will be a violation
    And no matter how bastard the Americans are with their mania for hegemonism, they abide by strategic agreements, just like we do. And this is confirmed by numerous inspections. At least as far as is known, 3 violations of strategic agreements were recorded. And two of them are Soviet.

    We just don't advertise the exit. Once the United States withdrew from some kind of bilateral agreement, then it ceases to exist. On the offensive, both we and they are still trying to comply with some restrictions (the number of carriers, the number of BB on the carrier). But such an agreement as the ABM Treaty does not work at all.
    But since the Americans withdrew from the ABM Treaty, we also do not comply. It is enough to look only at the locations of the early warning radar station
