“In a few months”: US ready to deploy banned missiles in Asia
Recently we detail toldas a Pentagon spokeswoman, Jonathan Rath Hoffman, told the public that the United States has been developing “non-nuclear” ground-based ballistic and cruise missiles since 2017, but all of these projects are supposedly still at an early stage. And now, at the same time, the head of the Pentagon, Mark Esper, spoke out, who said that he would like to place new missiles in Asia as soon as possible, because the INF Treaty has ceased to exist.
he said, answering a question about the possibility of such a thing.
- added Esper.
Eloquent evidence of the real "peacefulness" of the United States is that such statements by senior US officials made the day after the termination of the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles. In fact, the Americans brought this day closer as they could, but they never managed to shift responsibility to Russia.
Now under threat is a bilateral agreement between Russia and the United States on the limitation of strategic offensive weapons (START-3), which was signed in 2010. It expires in February 2021, but the US administration is in no hurry to renew it. Therefore, there is a high probability that this agreement will cease to exist at the indicated time.
It should be noted that Washington wants to work out a number of new agreements, but not bilateral, but tripartite (USA - Russia - China). At the same time, Beijing categorically refuses this, drawing attention to the fact that France, Great Britain and other countries that officially and unofficially have nuclear missile technology, for some reason, do not fall into the field of vision of the stronghold of "democracy."
Yes i would like it

I would like to expect that in a few months, but such things usually take longer than expected
