“We should stay in a treaty that Putin flagrantly violated with (unspecified) minor, technical violations as Obama might put it? “
I don’t know how you got the idea that I support the INF treaty.
I don’t. Have not since the fall of the Soviets. This treaty has run its course.
But to suggest that it’s failure was solely because Russia deployed a non-nuke missile which just barely exceeds limits is naive.
The US wants out of this treaty for our own reasons, and it has nothing to do with the deployment of nuke IR weapons in Europe. Which neither the US or Russia will do.
