James Baker fooled Russia into dismantling the Warsaw Pact by offering worthless guarantees against Eastward expansion of NATO, something policy moghuls like Kissinger, and figureheads like Medelin Ulbricht had intended to rescind at the first opportunity. Closer to our times, France declined to deliver fully paid for Mistral frigates to Russia and gleefully sat on that money the way proverbial cobra sits on a treasure trove in Asian folklore. Europe tricked Russia into signing an open skies pact, opening up the vast Russian airspace to umpteen European military flights, and once Europe was done with all of its spying over Russia and mapping all the coordinates for potential nuclear strikes, suddenly Spain abrogated the deal and debarred Russian craft before the latter could avail any reciprocal benefits. During Ronald Reagen's Presidency, the Pentagon hoodwinked Russian delegation by convincing its members that the US had acquired unbeatable anti-missile capability, by stage managing a demo wherein a missile was programmed to self detonate its payload in air upon detection of an 'interceptor' that flew past by a proximity sensor hidden in the missile cone. A very huge assortment of over one hundred airplanes in including cutting-edge AWACS and ECM workhorses was blown to bits by Russia at a Siberian hangar in the late 1980's, and the pinch was felt several decades later when Russia faced shortage of ECM planes for saving its aviation from Turkey in Syria, and again when a missile fired from a NATO drone shot down a Beriev AWACS idling over Belarus. If Russia signs another START with the US now in a fit of disarmament piety, then what? Undeniably Russia possesses neither the capabilities, nor the manpower or the stamina to monitor compliance by America and its EU quislings, even as America remains poised to steer just about every one of its lackeys not only in the EU but also in Japan into militarist confrontation with Russia in every possible theatre of conflict. America remains committed to coax and groom every one of its allies into loggerheads with Russia, and has already gone irreversibly forward in just having resurrected and reinstated the NAZI Reich Frankenstein and its RhineMetal. embodiment to that effect. What is the point in trusting the US with any new treaty when the Pentagon is hellbent upon undoing all of the sacrosanct anti-fascist paradigm reached by consensus at the end of World War 2? And now, Tucker Carlson has announced that the US under Biden had been seriously considering assassinating President Putin of Russia. The Zio-oligarchic deep state of America regards Russian civilisation as an illegitimate entity which deserves no right to exist in God's own world. It is only the potential fear of unmitigable consequences from Russia's nuclear arssnal that is driving sane voices in Europe to clamour against hotheaded warmongering of NATO bosses, Stoltenberg, and no one should be under illusions that those voicing such beliefs have been moved to compassion or gotten impressed with Russia's moral high ground. As for the untamed middle east, it is only the language of iron which it has ever understood or ever will for the forseeable future, and its plethora of unprincipled denizens will make a beeline to skin Russia alive under tutelage and patronage of the Pentagon if they were ever to become satisfied that Russian nuclear armaments are no longer adequate to the responsibility of disciplining them. After having already delivered some 10,000 CRV rockets (the best Canada has) to Ukraine as decided in a meeting at Ramsden base in Germany, Canada has now announced it is sending a staggering 80,000 of those rockets to Ukraine with instructions on how to target aircraft hangars and ammunition depots located deep inside Russia in the ongoing Ukrainian incursion inside Kursk. It is high time Russia grow up out of the cocoon of shyly playing by the rule book and code of conduct authored by its collective western enemies, and shake off the creed of slavishness which the west has enunciated solely for baptising Russia without the least sincereity in itself following that sham code of ethics.
Arms control? The Orange Hitler, so they tell me, is in office, and you're talking about arms control??!!
You Russians cling to such quaint concepts. Why, I haven't even heard y'all say you want to take over somebody else's canal or erect tariff walls or brag about planting your flag on Mars or anything else a normal Empire does.
Nyet, all we get is this talk of mutually beneficial relationships, respect, non-interference, and (gasp!) disarmament!
Things were so much easier when old Uncle Nikita was saying things like "We will bury you." Don't you people understand how many comforting narratives you are disturbing?
Getting rid of nukes has been an active dream for many years. My nine-year old daughter fasted for five days with a group getting attention to their plea about 1980. And there were more nukes.
We all wondered why the powers wanted so many nuclear weapons, when just a handful would be enough to destroy enough to matter. Can anyone tell me why our people built so many?
You need enough to be able to overwhelm ABM defense of the other party. That's the reason why China is currently rapidly expanding its nuclear missile arsenal.
No amount of stockpile of nuclear or strategic weapons, no matter howsoever gargantuan, can be too much for Russia. Gorbachev and Yeltsin had Co-conspired with the west to decapitate Russia's 30,000 plus nuclear arsenal, with the result that today Russia is on the tenterhooks embrolied in an existential crisis facing concerted civilisational assault from all of Europe which has ganged up under leadership of his Viking feudalist shenanigans to annihilate and efface the Russian civilisation. With passage of time, it will be not just Europe but the whole of the Bedouin Gulf littoral and the likes of Singapore as well which will be taking digs at Russia at the behest of American stringpullers, and pull punches at Russia in the fashion of say the ongoing efforts by the syndicate to confiscate or drown Russian oil tankers, the so-called Shadow fleet on the High Seas. It is on account of the folly of having destroyed its 25000 nuclear warheads in good faith after being swindled by gentleman's promise from the US interlocutors, without getting America to destroy commensurate numbers of the latter's own warheads in reciprocity (the US simply dismantled its warheads and retained the fissile material in abeyance for redeployment at short notice whenever so desired), that Russia is struggling to defend its shadow fleet of tankers on the high seas from vandalism at the hands of European navies. The recent drowning of a Russian cargo liner ferrying remnants of dismantled erstwhile Russian military bases in Syria back to Russia, blamed on possible sabotage by Norway, is a case in point.
Foray into any venture-capitalist adventurism on part of Russia in the form of playing America's proverbial policeman in say, "disciplining" countries like India to fall in line with American-mandated anti-proliferation diktats under pain of Security Council penalties, will be suicidal folly far from being acts of bravado that the west might be pretending to misportray them as. Because, Europe and
USA have long been planning to dump Russia and oust it from the Security Council for good, and once having tricked Russia into taking anti-India positions at the UNSC, Gujarati and Dravidian "Indophiles" in the Trump politburo will then instigate India to permanently severe all ties with Russia by offering India a ceremonial UNSC seat at Russia's expense and place! The Zio-oligarchic deep state of Europe and America has promoted its ultimate objective of emasculating, dismembering, imploding and vanquishing Russia to the top of its list of priorities, and does not give a damn about Russia's existence on this planet, let alone sharing any previliged turf with Russia in form of any grandiose idea of a "US-Russian core of a global strategic security system" or anything of that sort. For all practical purposes, America and its European quislings have relegated Russia to the status of an arctic Nigeria in their dealings with it.

What is the point of this? The next President - pulls out of the treaty - again?? Let it be. Trusting treaties signed by the US is a waste of time.

You need enough to be able to overwhelm ABM defense of the other party. That's the reason why China is currently rapidly expanding its nuclear missile arsenal.
Is there any ABM defense of a ballistic missile?
