U.S. Says Russia Tested Cruise Missile, Violating Treaty

WASHINGTON — The United States has concluded that Russia violated a landmark arms control treaty by testing a prohibited ground-launched cruise missile, according to senior American officials, a finding that was conveyed by President Obama to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia in a letter on Monday.
It is the most serious allegation of an arms control treaty violation that the Obama administration has leveled against Russia and adds another dispute to a relationship already burdened by tensions over the Kremlin’s support for separatists in Ukraine and its decision to grant asylum to Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor.
At the heart of the issue is the 1987 treaty that bans American and Russian ground-launched ballistic or cruise missiles capable of flying 300 to 3,400 miles. That accord, which was signed by President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, helped seal the end of the Cold War and has been regarded as a cornerstone of American-Russian arms control efforts.

The 1980s called and want their foreign policy back, Mr President.

Thank goodness Russia is not a threat to our country otherwise this would be troubling.

Russia can send an ICBM with multiple warheads to the US in 30 mins. And we're worried about this?

What does the poli board want Obama to do, go to war over a missile test?

Well here is an evaluation of Putin from someone who has personally dealt with him.
"They need to understand they must stand up to Vladimir Putin,"
"If the United States and Europe don't present a united front, I think Putin's the kind of man who will go as far as he can get away with. I think he is still smart enough and cautious enough to be pushed back, but there has to be a push in order to make that happen.
