Russia blocks US arms control inspectors in blow to milestone treaty, State Department says
Washington Examiner ^ | February 1, 2023 | Joel Gerhke

Russia is flouting its obligations under a major arms control treaty with the United States, according to State Department officials.

“Russia is not complying with its obligation under the New START Treaty to facilitate inspection activities on its territory,” a State Department spokesman said Tuesday. "Russia’s refusal to facilitate inspection activities prevents the United States from exercising important rights under the treaty and threatens the viability of U.S.-Russian nuclear arms control.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s team outlined that breakdown in a notification to key congressional leaders on Tuesday. The assessment points to the degeneration of the last major arms control treaty between the United States and Russia, after another pair of landmark pacts collapsed amid U.S. allegations that Moscow had violated the deals.

“Russia has a clear path for returning to full compliance,” the State Department spokesman said. “All Russia needs to do is allow inspection activities on its territory, just as it did for years under the New START Treaty, and meet in a session of the Bilateral Consultative Commission. There is nothing preventing Russian inspectors from traveling to the United States and conducting inspections.”

Russia scrapped the commission meeting that was supposed to take place in Cairo in a last-minute snub designed to express displeasure with U.S. aid for Ukraine.

Did you know that Russia went to UN and accused the US of creating biological warfare In the Ukraine and the US just blew it off. If that is true, and I think it is, The United States is guilty of a far greater crime violating treaties and international law.

Russia blocks inspectors in an arms control treaty? Really?

I just cannot possibly imagine why. Hmmmm??? Could it be because we are the friend of their enemy which makes us their enemy? Nah, can’t be.

We need a good lib think tank to sort this one out and create a good narrative for the MSM to spew all over.

Well..that is nice.

Effn bidet and his crime syndicate have managed to eff up everything they touch.

Month or so ago stinkin Blinkin stated that they will launch nuclear weapons if they suspect an enemy is preparing to launch.
So that leaves to door open to mistakes.

If Blinky was really concerned about arms control he wouldn’t help flood the entire world with arms and money for arms

Saber rattling leads to more saber rattling. And the State Department feigns surprise.

This is why there is no point in negotiating agreements with a lying Bolshevik like Putin. They break every treaty they ever sign.

Ukraine is basically an ally without any treaty going through the Senate.
They’re a “little buddy” from the DC beltway perspective.

However, just for peace of mind, you need to know the A team of Anglosphere/ Ukrainian propaganda is over at sites like Daily Kos, the minor league is Free Republic.

BINGO! And Hunter Biden shenanigans. Remember Joe Biden saw to it that a Ukranian prosecutor was fired.

Here is the real problem with the Russia.

They tricked us, we gullible people from the West, into believing that Russia of today got rid of its ugly Soviet past... but no... their true face is back.

Russia is being helped as we speak by the planet’s most horrible islamist countries : Iran and Chechnya and by the worlds most extreme communist nations : North Korea and Belarus... in its quest to destroy a sovereign nation Ukraine. It’s a human disaster.

Roland Reagan understood it all:
