“Every six months, under the [New START] treaty, we exchange data on kind of high-level [warhead] numbers. Russia responded that they will not be providing that information,” he said.

“And so, as a diplomatic countermeasure, the United States will not be providing that information back.”

So we are now hassling with the the Russians over nukes for the first time since the cold war and engaging in tit for tat escalations

I feel so reassured.

Go get ‘em, Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley

I feel so much safer with the world on the brink of nuclear Armageddon over a corrupt to the bone tyrant of Ukraine.

I believe that the Pentagram was told by Russia that they are no longer “in” on that treaty. So why would they expect Russia to supply them the numbers?

There is no trust between the two countries at all since the Biden regime.

Honoring so called “treaties” is more than a one way street.
The hypocrisy of the Biden regime is amazing.

In another year or two Russia's economy will decline so far they will be unable to sustain the war. When that time comes Putin and his inner circle are gone. It will be a repeat of the collapse of the USSR.

Shortly afterwards the happened the US and allies had a look inside how the Russian military really worked. There was congressional testimony that Russian nuclear capability was so degraded their ICBMs would be lucky to hit the state of Utah. Given what Russia has shown of its real military abilities, its likely their nuclear arsenal is in as bad a state as the rest of their military.

Putin is not suicidal. Every time the US and allies ship new weapons to Ukraine, Russia threatens escalation and the bluff is called. Putin is not going to risk Armageddon over Ukraine. We really need to move past this nuclear hyperventilating.
