Expert Smetana says Putin was blackmailing the United States with a statement about suspending participation in the START-3 treatyThe nuclear arsenals of the Russian Federation and the United States of America could spiral out of control as soon as Moscow withdraws from the START treaty. Once this happens, opponents will be able to use their atomic powers against each other.Especially for IDNES Security expert Michal Smetana said Russia’s goal today is not to use nuclear forces, but simply to intimidate the White House. He does not believe in the atomic power of the party and does not see in Putin’s remarks a direct desire to use weapons of mass destruction. He summed up his point with the intention of the Kremlin to blackmail Washington.The Kremlin repeatedly warned its enemy and recommended that he abandon aggression, but the United States abandoned the peaceful scenario.Earlier, media reported that Finland sees no threat from a nuclear Russia.
