Putin’s Nuclear Treaty Pull Back.
Vladimir Putin
“President Vladimir V. Putin said on Tuesday that Russia would suspend its participation in the New START nuclear arms control treaty, declaring a sharper break with the West by pulling back from the last major such agreement remaining with the United States. In a lengthy national address, he again falsely claimed that Western nations had “started the war” in Ukraine and showed no sign of ending an invasion that has failed to achieve almost any of its objectives after nearly a year of brutal fighting.
Later on Tuesday, and 800 miles away, President Biden is scheduled to deliver a speech in Warsaw, a day after a brief but dramatic visit to Kyiv that highlighted the American commitment to supporting Ukraine.”
Vladimir Putin is signaling his displeasure with the West by suspending his nation’s involvement in a nuclear arms treaty. This comes at a precarious time with the 1 year anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine fast approaching and ice cold relations between America and Russia’s biggest backer, China. China is actively Courting in Russia in what an be described as a new anti-Western alliance of nuclear powers. The Biden Administration has a very delicate task of wading through this new World order of former frenemies turned enemies that if aligned can pose serious risk to American and our allies.
