[Brad from Tennessee]

This story began with the New York Times so it's difficult to say how valid it is.

[Old_Grouch]

“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.

[TYVets]

0bama drew a line in the line, whoda thought?

[MeganC]

Cruise missiles have been banned since 1897? The NYT nails it again!

[stylin19a]

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......

[SolidRedState]

1897??

[PAR35]

Is Russia even bound by treaties entered into by the Czar? There have been a lot of changes in management since 1897, and certainly a lot of changes in missile technology.

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.

[gdani]

that the test violated the landmark 1897 accord

Technology back then was more advanced than I was led to believe.

[ExGeeEye]

Such a shame, really, that the missile treaty between President McKinley and Tsar Nicholas II couldn’t last more than 130 years.

[SandRat]

Remember what Comm-rad Stain said , “Treaties are like the crust of a pie. You have to be broken to get at the Goodies inside the pie.”

[Cobra64]

Vlad picked a good time to test America.

[Jonah Hex]

...contending that the test violated the landmark 1897 accord...

Brits still haven't gotten over bombarding Fort McHenry.

[DoughtyOne]

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.

[DarthVader]

The Russians have no regard for treaties.

[dforest]

1897 Treaty, Huh?

[5th MEB]

I didn’t know there was a Soviet Union in 1897; I am pretty sure neither we, nor the soviets had cruise missiles back then.

[Kadric]

Got news for them if the treaty bans cruise missiles. We have used quite a few of them.I do not think the left would have passed up a chance to bash either Bush, Clinton would have got a pass. So what type of missile are we actually talking about?

[InABunkerUnderSF]

Maybe not that big of a problem. The plan in the 1980’s was to deploy GLCMs on trailers in the UK and in tunnels in Sicily. I wonder how many GLCMs we can hide in the Carpathian Mountains? Lots of old mines up there.
