The message of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly became the main topic of the news last week. It ended Western attempts to speak to Moscow from a position of strength, deception, superiority and exclusivity, which brought some unpleasant surprises to Russia’s critics.
When announcing the document, the head of state announced the temporary suspension of Russia’s participation in the START III treaty due to dangerous actions of Western countries. What the Russian leader said was noticed on the show “Let me say!”
The guest of the studio, military expert Vladimir Shurygin, stressed that the suspension is not a way out of the agreement, but the suspension of certain procedures, mainly control.
To go beyond the numerical values, for the production of nuclear weapons, the production of missiles and other things is already a violation of the treaty
he precised.
The expert added that Moscow’s suspension of the START III treaty is a “headache” for Washington, because under the agreement they very clearly control the Russian nuclear triad.
Your opponent’s predictability gives you great advantages. The agreement was that we, along with the Americans, would give these advantages in order to reduce the overall nuclear danger in the world.
he explained.
Shurygin noted that the agreement had been renegotiated several times, because at that time there was hope for a more convenient and safe world for everyone. And all the past years, Moscow has strictly observed this treaty, even when the Americans started to violate it (they stopped allowing Russian control groups to enter their facilities). Russia previously warned the United States to move its nuclear forces, but now the Russian Federation won’t and Americans will start to wonder if it’s exercises or something else, ” from where the hair on the head might fall”.
According to the expert, Russia will not be the first to carry out nuclear tests, but will wait for the United States to do so. The fact is that Moscow has renewed nuclear potential, while Washington has outdated developments.
