MOSCOW - Russia accused the United States on Tuesday of stoking military tensions by testing a ground-launched cruise missile, but said it would not be drawn into an arms race, TASS news agency reported.
The Pentagon said on Monday it had tested a conventionally-configured cruise missile that hit its target after more than 500 km of flight, its first such operation since the demise of a landmark Cold War-era nuclear pact this month. Ryabkov said that despite the test, Russia did not plan to deploy any new missiles, unless the United States did so first.In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said the test showed the United States was stoking a new arms race and confrontation, which would have a serious negative impact on regional and global security.
Didn’t Russia test a missile in a massive failure just one week ago?
LOL.....Putin boasts about his newest and bestest missiles that are unstoppable and then accuses the U.S of stoking tensions youcouldntmakeitup
Just wait till nuke non proliferation treaty falls through... Iran, NK, Palestine, so many eager to have mushroom bomb
Now if that ain't the kettle calling the pot blackie. Russia has been firing rockets hyper missiles and testing mini-nukes for 6months solid!!
The hegemony of death 🇺🇸 is an out maneuvered dinosaur. They playing the same 80's 'bankrupt you to death' game. Russia 🇷🇺 and China should just build more nuclear weapons and add them to the one's already stashed in American cities. RussiaUN Chinamission2un
Not a great thing to hear . Everyone getting out their weapons to show off just who has the best whatever disgusting!
Funny, didn’t hear Putin complain about the near daily missiles of rocket man in N-Korea...
The Russian and U.S. Government have been playing games together to stay in power all my life. I remember having to crawl under my desk with sirenes blasting across Nashville waiting for Russians to bomb Nashville, Tennessee with what was left of Russia's Calvary after WWII.
He must have forgotten about his own missile test that irradiated half of Russia like a week ago.
The world's armaments industry has been mining uranium on our lands incessantly, so they got to use it.
Because the US's missile didn't blow up on launch?
Oh ok.🙄
ummm, no shit.
Theatre intended to distract and confuse. Putin still owns the US.
😂😂😂😂😂... Russia failed their missile test... America not so much.
Where was Russia in condemning North Korea?
Come get some.
Russia too is testing missiles so why is it bothered if USA conducts missile tests.
America kills a million in Iraq and Libya: these things happen, was for the best anyway Russia puts up clickbait adds on Facebook during America's election: oh my God we are under attack!! How DARE they!!!!
Ok but not North Korea. Why worrying, you-know your buddy won't do any harm to you guys. Especially when the elections are coming up in 2020. ..
Right. It’s not like an unrelenting attack on our electoral did anything to increase tensions. They sound just like their American puppet.
No worries. Trump will apologize to Putin asap, via private call.
Is the Trump-Putin make-up sex going to happen in Washington or Moscow?
If the Russians want to scrap their intermediate range nuclear missiles then I’m sure the US would be happy to not further test and deploy
After their long pattern of deception and testing and deployment?
