Bolton assured: We will not deploy missiles in Europe

2
US National Security Advisor to the United States John Bolton made a statement that Washington has no plans to deploy weapons in Europe that are prohibited by the Medium and Short Range Missile Treaty (INF Treaty). Speaking in Paris on the global strategy of the United States and NATO, he said:


The US has no plans to seek deployment of missiles banned by the INF Treaty in Europe for the foreseeable future. This is part of the global strategy of the alliance and the United States.


During his speech, Bolton accused Russia of allegedly not complying with the INF Treaty, but the United States allegedly can not do anything about it, since Moscow denies all the facts of violation of the treaty.

In addition, he lamented that only two world powers were connected with this document - Russia and the United States. And such large states as China, North Korea, Iran, India, Pakistan, are not bound by such agreements. According to Bolton, this poses a threat to the United States. In particular, Chinese ballistic and cruise missiles threaten American allies in Southeast Asia.

Another threat he considers medium-range ballistic missiles, which are in the arsenal of Iran. This country, said the adviser to the American president, has more missiles than China, and they are a threat to all of Europe.

Bolton concluded: The Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty was "an agreement of its time and place." To date, he has "outlived himself" with technical point of view, since it concerns only ground-based missiles, but they can be used from ships.

    When the Americans already stated that NATO will not expand to the East and will not approach the borders of Russia, of which are the American assurances, we all have already seen very well before, they are worth practically nothing, empty chatter not confirmed by real deeds.

    Today these plans may not exist, but tomorrow? The experience of recent years of US foreign policy shows that agreements with them are not worth the paper on which they are written. And the statements are not worth mentioning.
