Russians Violating New START Arms Treaty
Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 9, 2016 | Bill Gertz

U.S. nuclear arms inspectors recently discovered that Russia is violating the New START arms treaty by improperly eliminating SS-25 mobile missiles, American defense officials said.

The violations were discovered during an on-site inspection carried out in Russia in April, said officials familiar with details of the inspection.

During the recent visit to a Russian missile base, U.S. technicians found critical components of SS-25s—road-mobile, intercontinental ballistic missiles—had been unbolted instead of cut to permanently disable the components.

Additionally, American inspectors were unable to verify missiles slated for elimination had been destroyed. Instead, only missile launch canisters were inspected.

Another failure for the Obama administration. Russia is violating START arms agreement. Obama does nothing.

Iran, China, Russia and other countries see America as weak.

“Did the Senate ever ratify the START Treaty?”

On 22 December 2010, the U.S. Senate gave its advice and consent to ratification of the treaty, by a vote of 71 to 26 on the resolution of ratification. Thirteen Republican senators, all 56 Democratic senators, and both Independent senators voted for the treaty. President Obama signed documents completing the U.S. ratification process on 2 February 2011.

I believe either party can pull out of the treaty at any time. It's non-enforceable.

And I think this refers to old stuff.
