The United States worried about the possible use of Russian "Poseidons" during the war

The United States is concerned about Russia's development of Poseidon Unmanned Submersibles. As the US Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation Christopher Ford said, Washington doubts that the use of Poseidons during a military conflict will comply with international law.

Speaking at an online seminar hosted by the American Bar Association, Ford said the US "has reason to be apprehensive" about Russia's nuclear deterrence policy. The US doubts that the Russian nuclear weapon intended for defense only.



Of course, Russia claims that its doctrine is in line with international law, that its nuclear weapons are intended only for defense and deterrence and will only be used as a last resort. Hopefully it is

- he added.

Another development that arouses US concerns are the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicles with a nuclear power plant and a nuclear warhead. According to Ford, the use of such devices does not comply with international law.

They are proposed to be equipped with nuclear warheads with a capacity of several megatons and launched into the ocean during a military conflict in order to unleash a radioactive tsunami on the coastal cities of the United States. Such a concept raises serious questions as to whether it can be applied in accordance with international legal norms and principles.

- he said.

Also, according to Ford, the United States is alarmed by Russia's statement that Moscow can respond with the use of nuclear weapons to any ballistic missile aimed at its territory, regardless of which charge is installed on it and regardless of where it is aimed.

Earlier, the US has already called on Russia to abandon its "terrible weapon." Billingsley, the US president's special envoy for arms control, said the development of Poseidon and the Burevestnik cruise missile is "a waste of time" since START "will ban them anyway."

          The US may not be worried about the potential use of Poseidon. In the event of a nuclear war, the Poseidons will definitely be used, and the entire US coast and two-thirds of the population will be flushed into the ocean, like into a toilet bowl. The rest will be covered with ash by Yellowstone. There is nothing to worry about: the United States will be erased from the map. As far as "international law" is concerned, Russian weapons operate within the Russian legal framework.

              Timokhin has his own view of the development of the fleet, and I must say, he has many sound ideas. However, Sakharov's idea of ​​megatsunami on the US coast is a good horror story for ordinary people, and for the Pentagon, as well as a nuclear strike on Yellowstone. Perhaps the possibility of Russia inflicting unacceptable damage for the United States with small forces (20 Poseidons and 10 missiles for an American supervolcano) will cool many hotheads overseas who dream of a preemptive nuclear strike on the Russian Federation.

      Yes, even if you launch a simple rocket into the territory of another country, you've already violated international law. And for amers to release fifty of these missiles or bombing a country is like blowing your nose. How to threaten someone with low-power nuclear charges is like promising to donate a couple of hundred million for charity. And if someone warns them that if they decide to unleash such an innocent little war, then immediately receive from the bottom of their hearts. So let them first think for themselves, is it worth it to violate this international law, which they put at nothing, since they have invented their own stars and stripes for themselves.

    Holy shit! Before p..., (showing concerns), you should think for yourself whether what the United States is doing is consistent with international standards? starting wars and civil strife, killing people with folding blades, spraying chemicals, etc.

    What the hell is international law when a country is being hit with nuclear weapons? There is no longer time for the right, the main thing there is to have time to launch the response. In order to wipe out the busurman from the face of the earth.

      According to the agreement between Russia and the United States, data is exchanged on the state of nuclear arsenals. According to the US State Department[121], as of March 1, 2013, the US armed forces had 766 deployed strategic offensive weapons, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) ​​and heavy bombers; versus 499 deployed in Russia.

      When calculating nuclear charges, it turns out that the United States has 1654 nuclear warheads on various carriers, compared to 1480 for Russia.

      In total, the United States currently has 930 deployed and non-deployed strategic offensive weapons, compared to 816 in Russia.

      conclusion: I voiced that the article was rubbish, but in the end - “stars and stripes” why are they afraid of “Poseidon”

    Such a concept raises serious questions as to whether it can be applied in accordance with international legal norms and principles.

    That is, to attack the country is to comply with the norms, but to receive a “response”, and “what are we for”! wink

    Well, yes, but bombing Serbia with uranium shells and children, and bombing Iraq with hospitals, civilians and children, and in Vietnam pouring chemicals on the country, this is in accordance with international law.....here.
