Brits still haven't gotten over bombarding Fort McHenry.

Russia has covertly deployed a new, fully operational cruise missile in an apparent violation of an arms control treaty, US officials have claimed.
Barack Obama wrote to President Vladimir Putin after Russia tested the missile in 2014, contending that the test violated the landmark 1897 accord that banned the US and Soviet Union from using intermediate and shorter-range missiles and helped bring the Cold War to a close.
The Russians appear to have disregarded the warning, and the missile has now been deployed according to the New York Times.
Administration officials told the newspaper that Russia has one battalion of the missile at a test site in Southeastern Russia, while a second has been moved to an operational base.
Donald Trump will now be tasked with responding to Russia's decision to deploy the prohibited missile. . .

“Administration officials” ?? What department, what officials? I would first suspect that the NY Times, and certain bureaucrats, are trying to reignite the Cold war. Or even a hot war. So they can blame it on Trump.
Cruise missiles have been banned since 1897? The NYT nails it again!
1st 3 paragraphs are about the violation under Obama.
The last 9 paragraphs are about Pres.Trump & his staff being tied to Russia...
Time to step up to this and out anyone remotely involved and I’m not talking about Pres. Trump and his appointees......
1897??
How about a line in the sand
the landmark 1897 accord that banned the US and Soviet Union
Or, perhaps, British journalists are as big a bunch of idiots as US journalists. I won't believe it until RT covers it.
Technology back then was more advanced than I was led to believe.
Such a shame, really, that the missile treaty between President McKinley and Tsar Nicholas II couldn’t last more than 130 years.
Vlad picked a good time to test America.
Brits still haven't gotten over bombarding Fort McHenry.
“1897” is in the original.
#FakeNews strikes again.
We’re a bunch of smart-asses.
Beats the alternative (lookin’ at the fake media dumb-asses).
I’m seeing all sorts of published dirt posted about Russia these days.
Long range bombers were flying in international airspace off Britain’s coast.
Yesterday I got a text message from FoxNews that Russia had a spying ship off the East Coast.
Now this cruise missile story is published.
Two of three of these things are absolutely non-events. Those reports cause me to question the third.
What is really going on here?
Man the media wants WWIII. What the heck is that all about?
Is that the only way they can become relevant again?
Obama, McCain, Clinton, Amnesty International, the U.S. MSM... the list grows longer the number of entities that seem to want WWIII.
Maybe we should drop some bombs on them and pal up with Russia.
I know this will tweak the Putin haters. I’m not fond of him either, but this ramp up the WWIII talk, is more dangerous than he is.
Listen to the "Star Spangled Banner" again. Wasn't Key writing about cruise missiles? "The rocket's red glare..." /s
The Russians have no regard for treaties.
Must have been written by Jules Verne. That guy really was ahead of his time!
1897 Treaty, Huh?
