Vladimir Putin suspends Russian compliance with 1987 INF missile treaty
UPI reports: "Russian President Vladimir Putin officially suspended Moscow's
compliance with the 31-year-old Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces treaty
on Monday.
The Cold War-era treaty has been in effect since 1987 but both countries
have accused the other of violating it in recent years. [...] The
treaty is intended to prevent both nations from positioning short- and
intermediate-range, land-based nuclear missiles in Europe."
Comment: This would appear to be "the other shoe" after the U.S. backed out of the treaty last month. Now the question is, which side will place missiles in Europe first?
