The United States announced Biden's readiness to extend the START-3 treaty for five years

50

American news sources share the plans of the 46th US President Joseph Biden for a strategic offensive arms treaty known as START III. Recall that this treaty will soon expire, which, after the US withdraws from a number of other agreements, remains virtually the only one that at least somehow ensures global security.

The US press reports that the Biden administration has decided to extend the START III treaty.



The Washington Post writes about this, citing its own sources. The material of American journalists says that the Joe Biden administration is ready to extend the treaty not even for a year, as Vladimir Putin previously proposed (then the Russian president noted that the extension could be carried out without additional conditions), but for five years at once.

The same publication adds that the 46th US President is not planning "any reset" in relations with the Russian Federation. Recall that at the dawn of Barack Obama's presidency, it was Joseph Biden who was the architect of the so-called "reset" - the very one when Hillary Clinton brought the button with the inscription Peregruzka, which in the end turned out to be true ...

Earlier, Anthony Blinken, who is now a candidate for the post of head of the US State Department, mentioned that Biden is ready to extend the START Treaty.

It should also be recalled that Trump refused to extend the START-3 treaty, as he believed that other countries with weapon mass destruction.

          But anyway - surprised.
          Biden, of course, is a crook. But in a democracy, an honest person simply has no chance to get upstairs. So all there are crooks, just Biden was caught by the hand more often than others.
          But he started surprisingly well.

          But we must remember: to hope for good from the United States means to lose very big. It has always been that way for everyone. You cannot believe their words. Only actions (and then carefully checking)

            And I expected - the new US administration has a lot of things to do now, it's easier to extend it. And during this time, think about what to do next. I just didn’t expect that they would decide to extend it for five years.

        There is no limitation of the arms race here. There is a desire of the Americans to receive at least some kind of bonus while they rearm their ground-based Strategic Missile Forces, while maintaining the total number of launchers. And on submarines and bombers, they would rather eat ties than cut something. I don’t understand at all what this treaty limits, if both we and the Americans already have barns full of nuclear clubs. But at the expense of other countries, yes, here Trump is just right. And in general, this agreement must be radically revised.
        At the moment, I am more worried about the short- and medium-range missiles that the Yankees, under the guise of missile defense, are pushing into eastern Europe. This is a real danger.

        Here you are right. The treaty must be comprehensive, including Israel and India and Pakistan, France, Great Britain, China, North Korea and other possessors of nuclear weapons.

          Russia needs to rethink how much and what kind of strategic nuclear weapons it needs. The available quantity, I think, is not enough. It is necessary to return to arsenals and medium-range delivery vehicles, on new - effective carriers.
          To motivate only ONE year of contract renewal - bad reputation of the second contracting party. Her unreliability, eccentricity, optionality and hostility.

          The formula might be good:
          1. Do not divide anyone into allies and non-allies, vassals and independent.
          Record the number of nuclear weapons owners. And include them in the parties to the new Treaty. Legitimation. All will come out smile
          2. Calculate the number of nuclear weapons each of the participants has and agree that the number cannot be increased smile
          and even if it is modernized, but remains "within the framework" - God would be with him

          And the arms race is "stopped" and potential adversaries are recounted, accounted for and under control.
          Great move. Smart. It's hard to argue.

            Rave. It's like you go to a store, and you will be hanged in the amount of kartocha debts of bankrupt or troubled food chains. The concept of a contract is that it is an agreement of 2 or more persons on the mutual fulfillment and observance of rights and obligations in the performance of the subject of this contract. A third party that cannot or does not want to participate in it can be joined only in the event of a court decision or if it is a kind of monopolist.

And Russia should take the gentlemen from the United States at their word. I do not think that something has changed dramatically. Our diplomats still have to sweat in order to achieve an acceptable solution for us.

And these carriers will not be included in the signed agreement for sure .. And the US nuclear weapons deployed in NATO countries? And who will take into account their own nuclear warheads? Once again, we will be offered to cut missiles, submarines and bombers in exchange for chicken legs? As it was rightly noted here, the Americans just need time to eliminate the lag in development that has arisen ... In previous agreements, by the way, they always had an advantage ... And they didn’t bother with strategic bombers to applause ..

      I wonder what you say on February 6, when Russia will extend the START-3 treaty? What will be your opinion then? Tell me what did you do right?
      Is it really so difficult to understand that even BILATERAL agreements are concluded in time for 3-4-5 years. If "China is tied to the treaty, the treaty will either be concluded in 15-20 years, or not at all. The same can be said about the proposal," to tie up all those who have nuclear weapons.

      Besides, what is the criterion for such a general agreement? How many missiles or warheads are you going to announce as the maximum? ... Of course, bringing the number of US missiles to China's arsenal is a very wise decision. What about OUR Russian missiles and warheads? Do you also propose to reduce the warheads by 4 times to the level of the Chinese, and halve the number of intercontinental weapons?
      At the same time, to simultaneously increase the arsenals of France, Great Britain, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan and India to the Chinese level ?? Wise, very wise ...

      A comprehensive agreement on the ceilings of charges and carriers will never work. Above answered why.
      And the existing one is proposed to be prolonged for the next 5 years according to the article of the same agreement. During this time, issues on new strategic weapons systems will be resolved.

      Oh really? You yourself have read this START-3 treaty or have just heard about it from other "retellings".
      You know, it reminds of an anecdote when one citizen of Odessa says to another:
      - "I don't understand why everyone admires Placcio Domingo. I listened - nothing special."
      The second inhabitant of Odessa asks:
      - "Where did you hear him? He seems to have not come to our country for the last 5 years"
      First
      - "Yes Izya sang to me ..."

      So are you. We heard the ringing, but you don't know where he is. Thanks to these "unequal" agreements, incl. and START-3, we did not fall into a pit when, due to the obsolescence of the arsenal, we were forced to massively reduce their carriers, while the Americans could not have reduced their arsenal. However, thanks to the agreement, they were forced to reduce (for example, the number of missiles on submarines).
      The limitations of the treaty apply not only to Russia but also to the United States. Under the contract, both we and they are entitled to 700 deployed media and 800 deployed and non-deployed media. All of these carriers can carry no more than 1550 warheads. Or do you think that only Russia is only observing these ceilings. No tight control? Is 38 inspections of two types a year not enough for you? And not like the previous ones, when applications were given in a week or two, but sudden ones ... And what exactly will be checked only while at the base? Is this not tight control for you?

      That is, you propose in advance DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT? A priori setting unrealizable conditions. The previous agreement was being prepared for about three to four years. Double-sided, mind you. Do you propose to conclude a multilateral treaty with nine countries in a year? And what is the criterion for this contract. What are the quantitative ceilings for launch vehicles and warheads? Should everyone reduce to the level of North Korea or raise everyone to the level of Russia and the United States?

      About the extension for a year
      Article XIV, clause 2 allows the contract to be extended for a period not exceeding 5 years (for it is foolish to think that all problems can be solved in a year). And the agreed changes (amendments) can be introduced either according to the procedures under paragraph 1 of Article XV, or in the course of the work of the Bilateral Consultative Commission, without resorting to the amendment procedure set out in paragraph 1 of Article XIV

Do you think Eun is at the end stupid so that he would agree to have a dozen missiles and a couple of dozen BGs and not increase his arsenal? Or will China agree to keep its arsenal at the same level when its adversary has 800 carriers and 1550 BG against their 90 carriers and 300 warheads ?? Do you seriously think that the leaders of all nuclear countries will agree to this ???

      What Trump proposed was to freeze arsenals and not deploy new types of weapons to us, such as Sarmat in particular. We did not agree to such conditions.

Under the agreement, both we and they can carry out 19 inspections of two different types per year, that is, 38 inspections each of the parties. And it is you who think that "Russia should take the gentlemen at their word?" Stop it, Andrey! Strategic agreements spell out everything, to the last comma.

      Generally speaking, you, sorry, foolish stupidity. They have no DOCTRINE of small charges. There is a solution, to equip a certain number of missiles with a number of low (tactical power) warheads. This program has been completed. As many as 76 W-2-50 warheads have been converted into the W-76-1 BG. And they are placed on missiles, which are taken into account in the calculation of the ceilings of carriers and BG. In the United States, as 280 Trident D-5 SLBMs were deployed on SSBNs, this number remained. The number of deployed warheads could remain the same or decrease slightly. So these carriers fall under the contract. The contract does not determine the power of charges, but only their number

      Quote: Dikson
      And what about US nuclear weapons stationed in NATO countries?

      And where does the tactical nuclear weapons? We are not attaching our tactical nuclear weapons to this treaty, which in quantitative terms is greater than that of the United States?

      Quote: Dikson
      And who will take into account their own nuclear warheads?

      And the nuclear warheads of other countries that are not our allies, not our opponents, how to take into account? The AGREEMENT, for those who do not understand the essence of our relationship with the United States, is BILATERAL. How to "attach" to this treaty, for example, India, which is neither our ally nor our enemy? Or Pakistan? In whose interest is it to take into account their carriers and warheads? Or North Korea and Israel? All other nuclear powers have one and a half times less nuclear warheads than the United States or Russia has deployed warheads. But everyone is trying to "fasten" them, thinking that this will be better. WILL NOT BE... Just because such a contract WILL NEVER BE INCLUDED ...

      Well, the states, unlike us, do not consider us (a friendly partner) and only care about their own interests. And it is in their interests to continue to dominate militarily and economically over the entire planet. Their conditions will give them time to finish or steal hypersound, and they can easily rivet overdofig missiles. They have many times more carriers, and given the allies and the bases, they just got covered. They only need time. After that, they will also easily leave the already new contract, remaining in fact the dominant over the simpletons who believed them.

      They can finish anything they want. But hypersonic aircraft missiles are unlikely to be classified as strategic weapons. That is, they will not be taken into account in the ceilings, like ours. But BG, whether they are equipped with nuclear warheads, will be counted in the total number. Moreover, one should not think that absolutely every aircraft they have will be equipped with an Air-to-Ground hypersonic missile. Of course, there are more carriers than we have, but I repeat. If this weapon is not deployed on B-52, B-1 or B-2 bombers, it will not be a strategic weapon. In addition, they have quite serious problems in creating new charges. So far, they can only modernize them and are unlikely to be able to launch new ones in the next 10-12 years.

      If today in this world only strength is respected - away shyness and modesty.

      The contract is good, but the clauses of the contract would be found out.
      The United States will not go against its interests.

      Type in the text of the START-3 treaty in a search engine. Will give out a lot of links, but I advise you to go to kremlin.ru (the Kremlin website). there is a treaty and a protocol to it.

      Joe Biden's administration is ready to extend the agreement not even for a year, as Vladimir Putin had previously proposed (then the Russian president noted that the extension could be carried out without additional conditions), but for five years at once.


      And in return they will demand the destruction of hypersonic weapons? And they will put pressure on it and blame Russia.

      Instead they DO NOT DEMAND ANYTHING... At least from what is currently known. And Russia will agree to prolong this agreement for 5 years. At least because of the fact that it is It is profitable for us.
      Renewal of the contract - renewal WITHOUT CHANGES... Hypersonic weapons in the framework of START (by the way, tell me, are you not tired of remembering them every time you talk about START ??) - THIS IS ALL KIND OF COMBAT EQUIPMENT FOR MISSILES - ICBMs and SLBMs... Explain how you can simultaneously EXTEND contract and FORBID weapon systems included in it?

      Russia does not need any treaties that tie its hands or restrict in something.

      And an immodest question: WHO HAS BEEN LIMITED MOST OF ALL START-3 treaty. Russia or the USA? And please with arguments (although you are unlikely to present them)

        Russia was limited more: NATO has superiority in the number of ground forces, total superiority in the Air Force and the Navy, total superiority in industrial potential and mobility resources. Yes, there are simply much more goals than they have in Russia. We could compensate for all these problems with our nuclear weapons. Now there is very little of it. The only question is what we have left of the means of production and maintenance of our nuclear weapons. If we can only maintain the available number of charges, then the contract is beneficial. If we can increase the output, it is not profitable.

      Wrong answer. The question was about limiting strategic arms, and you started to say that they have more Air Force, Ground Force and everything else. More. But it was with regard to the strategic nuclear forces that the treaty more limited the United States. The agreement was signed exactly at the time when we had to massively write off our strategic carriers precisely in connection with the development of warranty periods and even extended periods. In particular, at the time of the start of work on the START-3 treaty, and this is about 2007, we had about 80 R-36M missiles of the R-36M UTTKh and R-36M2 modifications, about 126-128 UR-100N UTTKh missiles, about 243-245 Topol missiles and 45, albeit new, single-shot Topol-M missiles. The United States had at that time 500 Minutemans and 336 Tridents. Moreover, the situation was not in our favor. Both the Minutemans and the Tridents have been upgraded under the service life extension program, which will allow them to be on alert until 2030 = 2040. Our missiles, except for the Topol-M, were already being intensively removed from service by that time.

      If we did not conclude this agreement in which we agreed with the number of carriers proposed by the Americans - 700 deployed and 800 deployed and not deployed, and they with the number of warheads proposed by us - 1550, now we would be in such a "pit". which is scary to imagine. We would have removed 54 Voevods and R-36M UTTKh from the DB (which is minus 560 BG), all 128 UR-100N UTTH (which is minus 768 BG) and 207 Topol (minus 207 BG).
      At the same time, only 140 new "Yars" (560 BG) and another 33 "Topley-M" (78 BG) would have been added. In fact, we would remove about 1400 BG and 389 carriers from the database, and put 173 carriers and 593 BGs. Would go to the minus.
      I don't count the fleet yet. There, even with our speed of construction of SSBNs, we would both write off 4 boats of the 667BDR project, and put 4 boats with 64 on the base.

      But if it were not for the START-3 treaty, which everyone says is unprofitable for us, our enemy would DO NOT REMOVE with DB NOT ONE ROCKET (ICBMs and SLBMs) ​​and NO ONE HEADS... But according to the agreement, they removed a hundred Minutemen from the database, made them one-piece, reduced the number of missiles on boats from 24 to 20, unloaded their tridents from 8 W-88 units to 4 and from 14 W-76 units to 8. Without this agreement, they would have left about 4,5 thousand blocks on the boats.

      So this "unequal" treaty turned out to be beneficial to us in all respects. We have at least guarantees that they will not exceed the ceiling, and we will strive for this ceiling. And taking into account the fact that we have only one plant and produces about fifty ICBMs and SLBMs a year - this agreement is just our salvation. We can slowly replace the remaining old missiles and use the bulk of the funds for general-purpose forces, and not for nuclear missiles

      They will leave from there at any time, it is so customary for them

      They can. But what is characteristic, they did not come out of ANY SALT and START Treaty. And so they can go out, like us. Within three months I told the other side that you were leaving and that was all, after 3 months I was free as a bird

      The problems of the Indians (this is the whole world except the Americans) are not interesting to the Sheriff. There is another saying .... A gentleman follows the rules ... if the rules are sent to suit, he changes the rules. Who will track the contract? The Americans already sent ours. And now even more so.

      Yes, you can immediately see that you know everything about contracts. And the fact that from our side (and from the American side) up to 38 inspections are annually held - is that nothing? Not control? Are they sending us? Oh well

        You only mean nuclear weapons. What about chemical and biological weapons? Send our entire inspection frankly! I am not talking about biolaboratories near us - in Georgia and in the independent.

      The United States announced Biden's readiness to extend the START-3 treaty for five years
      This means that we have 5 years to prepare for a full-fledged war. Considering the spinelessness of our government in relation to the "partners", it will most likely not be nuclear.
