WASHINGTON - The demise of the only U.S.-Russia arms control pact limiting deployed nuclear weapons would make it harder for each to gauge the other’s intentions, giving both incentives to expand their arsenals, according to a study to be released on Monday.
The study, produced by the CNA Corp non-profit research group and seen by Reuters, is the most comprehensive public examination to date of the consequences of New START’s demise. It argues for extending the 2011 treaty, which expires in February 2021 but can be extended for five years if both sides agree.
Trump has said Washington will withdraw from another arms pact, the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, this summer unless Moscow ends its alleged violations, compounding tense ties. Russia denies violating the INF treaty. [nL1N1ZW0K1] Both sides must also exchange data declaring their deployed strategic nuclear warheads, delivery vehicles and launchers, as well as breakdowns of how many of each are located at individual bases.“Neither country would have the same degree of confidence in its ability to assess the other’s precise warhead levels,” CNA’s Vince Manzo wrote in the study. “Worst-case planning is also more likely as a result.
Another casualty of the treaty’s expiration could be global nonproliferation, making non-nuclear states doubt the United States and Russia will keep working toward nuclear disarmament under the NPT, the study said.
Russia can’t, the have already put multiple projects on hold like their 5th generation fighter jets and T-5 tanks because of budget restrictions
jakejakeny actually, Russia has an economy size of Italy's, so its ability to greatly expand its Arsenal has severe limits
Do you think the Russians will give the US a good discount on uranium?

Nothing is certain in Ukraine’s presidential election except this: Russia won’t winPolls have opened in a Ukrainian presidential election that pits a comedian, a president and a gas princess against each other in a race with an uncertain outcome. Results are expected early Monday morning, but one thing is certain: Ukraine will continue an anti-Kremlin stance. Recall when Pres Obama traveled to Poland, and former Polish President Nobel Peace prize recipient Lech Walesa refused to meet him. Of course you don't, as our national media didn't want us to know.

Trump’s barometer for success following Russia investigation’s end — TV ratingsAfter more than two years in office, Trump continues to view his presidency through TV ratings and news coverage. I found it interesting that not ONE show on CNN reached a million people! Now that people know CNN pushed a false narrative for two years, they are done. What's the difference between the WaPo and The Onion? That's not a riddle. I really want to know the answer. Does the Washington Post ever have anything good to report?
