Russia Friend or Foe? - Revisited - Part V
"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." I Thessalonians 5:3
This post shows that Russia is not our friend but an enemy to the United States of America and is planning a future attack on this nation.
2. Treaty Signer, Treaty Breaker
In an article titled "NF Nuclear Treaty: US Pulls Out Of Cold War-Era Pact With Russia" (Note 9) it states
"The US has formally withdrawn from a key nuclear treaty with Russia, raising fears of a new arms race. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) was signed by US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987. It banned missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 km (310-3,400 miles). But earlier this year the US and Nato accused Russia of violating the pact by deploying a new type of cruise missile, which Moscow has denied. The Americans said they had evidence that Russia had deployed a number of 9M729 missiles - known to Nato as SSC-8. This accusation was then put to Washington's Nato allies, which all backed the US claim. 'Russia is solely responsible for the treaty's demise,' Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Friday. 'With the full support of our Nato allies, the United States has determined Russia to be in material breach of the treaty, and has subsequently suspended our obligations under the treaty,' he added."
In another article titled "Large-Scale Russian Treaty Violations Revealed On Eve Of New Talks" (Note 10 ) it states
"The Trump administration revealed on the eve of new arms talks with Russia nine major arms control agreement compliance failures by Moscow. Special U.S. arms control envoy Marshall Billingslea said the sole positive finding in the forthcoming State Department annual report on arms compliance is Moscow’s adherence to the terms of the 2010 New START. However, Mr. Billingslea said extending the treaty, set to expire in February, remains uncertain. 'This year’s arms control report documents Russia’s abysmal track record in complying with its promises,' Mr. Billingslea told The Washington Times. 'These aren’t trivial arms control violations,' he said. 'These are invasions of countries, assassination attempts and blowing up a 30-year-plus treaty through its violations.' . . . . The report also addresses U.S. 'concerns with Russia’s activities related to its commitments under the Biological Weapons Convention,' a senior State Department official said. Violations of the Vienna Document, part of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, include Russian stationing forces in Georgia’s Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the report says. Moscow is violating the 1975 Helsinki Final Act by arming and training anti- government forces fighting in Eastern Ukraine, the report notes. The Conventional Forces in Europe agreement is being violated by Russia’s stationing of military forces in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine without those nations’ consent."
We see from these articles that Russia is using deception by signing treaties it doesn't intend to keep.
