Russia has violated arms treaty by testing cruise missile: US
Channel News Asia ^ | 7-28-14 | unattributed

WASHINGTON: The United States has found that Russia violated a 1987 arms control treaty by testing a ground-launched cruise missile, a senior US official said late Monday.

The finding comes in a 2014 report that concluded Russia was in violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which barred it from possessing or producing cruise missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometres, the official told AFP.

President Barack Obama has sent a letter to his counterpart Vladimir Putin on the issue, which the official described as a very serious matter. Washington was prepared to discuss the determination with Russia immediately in a senior-level bilateral dialogue. Congress and US allies have also been kept abreast of the matter, according to the official.

The Islamic race pimp is destroying our nuclear stockpile as rapidly as he can, and now he complains about Russian arms treaty compliance.

This guy is one gigantic fur-ball!

Perhaps I should just start calling the guy the Islamic hummer, willing to satisfy any anti-US world ruler now that the election is over.

Shouldn’t that be a capital “S”tern?

I mean, he really means it this time. Capitalizing the “S” will let Putin know just how much trouble he is in now.

Obama will not do anything about it.

He will not buck his boss.

Question is why is this coming out now? This information has been known for sometime. Maybe Obama is trying to get his poll numbers up.

One hopes that Mister Obama used really, really, really tough and meanie-sounding words such as "period!", and "even a smidgeon".

That should do it.

I fear our dear leader is in cahoots with Russia....helping Russia bring harm to America...starting with Syria - this was probably what the “flexibility after the election” was all about. Strange how this is unfolding.
