In a much anticipated speech on Tuesday, President Vladimir Putin said he is suspending Russia’s participation in the New START nuclear treaty with the United States.
“President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday suspended Russian participation in the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty with the United States, warning Washington that Russia had put new ground-based strategic nuclear weapons on combat duty,” Reuters reports of the new declaration.
It comes over a year after Moscow signed onto a five year extension, and after in August the US accused Russia of violating the treaty in disallowing US on-site inspections under its stipulations. In response, Washington halted Russian inspectors’ ability to do the same on American soil.
Russia had at the time complained that it was actually the US side which “deprive the Russian Federation of the right to conduct inspections on American territory.”
“No one should be under the illusion that global strategic parity can be violated,” Putin said of New START in the Tuesday remarks delivered in Moscow.
In March 2021 the two sides renewed New START for a period of five years, and it will expire in February 2026 if it’s not continued – an increasing possibility given US-Russia relations have deteriorated so fast over the Ukraine war they are near complete breaking point. But this new Putin declaration appears to be the final death knell after the treaty’s fate was already extremely uncertain.
The treaty is intended to limit and reduce nuclear arms on either side, setting a limit of no more than 1,550 deployed warheads and 700 missiles. START I began in 1991, with New START signed under the Obama and Medvedev administrations in 2010 as a successor agreement.
Putin’s speech, which most commentators saw little that was new in, came just after President Biden showed up in Kiev for a surprise visit…

Much of Tuesday’s speech was about reaffirming Russia’s resolve in Ukraine at a moment NATO powers seem more deeply involved than ever. “Step by step, we will carefully and systematically achieve the aims that face us,” Putin said in the speech which came just ahead of the anniversary of the invasion on Feb. 24, which will be Friday.
He also rearticulated Russia’s reasons for going to war. “Russia did its best to solve the problem in Ukraine peacefully, but the statements of Western leaders turned out to be fraudulent and untrue,” Putin said, calling Ukraine part of the “historical Russian land.”

Putin cares about his own people wants and needs, here in the west the only ones selecting presidicks or chancelosers are politicians themselves
If he cares about them so much , why didn’t he call them ALL home after Maidan 2014 which is when this “war” started?… Wasn’t the murder(s) of Lesin, Karlov and Churkin enough of a calling card to close their Embassy in the F-U.K.U.$./I$rael?…
Why didn’t he -THEN???… And what will happen to the ones that don’t leave now or should have been given an ultimatum “then” that they acknowledge their first visa as their “only home”… And that if they didn’t see it that way they can stay in the U.K., U.$. and I$rael FOR GOOD… Or until they are wiped off the map with Monsieur “Sarmat” and “Bulava”!!!
at least 2 reasons 1. Russian leadership hoped some peaceful solution like federal Ukraine were possible 2. Russian economy and geopolitical ties were not strong enough to risk offen conflict with the west
Why is West Bank still not Palestinian? Why is Hawaii not Kingdom of Hawaii? Why is Northern Ireland not Republic of Ireland?
And Scotland is independent state. “Freedo-o-om!”

The World outside of the G7 pray for Russian success and Russia’s leadership. The G7 does not believe in God so nobody prays for those countries.
Sooner or later this evil that has taken global control of the world will come to an end. It will be very difficult but the world will be a better place.
Iran apparently just about has the Bomb, and all those treaty things kind of became past tense some years ago. Won’t it be exciting when Nigeria becomes a nuclear state? LOL
If Nigeria becomes a nuclear state it will become heavily dangerous for African countries, a lot of people are suggesting that Africa needs a world war like Europe to become like Europe, so if Nigeria was to use Nuclear Arsenal against its neighbors then Africa will be doomed in utter chaos.
Are you a comedian like Zelensky?? Remember Zelensky is no longer funny!
Nigeria that can not substain 24/7 electricity to his people ,a corrupt state kixed with wthnic rivalry bh the so called politician is talking about a nuclear power ,is laugheable at the best .we can not substain such project for a country that can not produce a nail. Though we have both human and mineeal resources .
correct. But a lot of things were assumed to be impossible by a lot of people, but then turned out to be possible so we don’t know if they could produce it or not im just saying it would be dangerous.
Nigeria is not better or worse than Pakistan…
prekrasni…..
So we won. What, not yet?! Jesus, are we waiting for ascension?
Oh wait NATO won after spending 20 years in Afghanistan raping kids 🤣🤣
Don’t take Christ’s name in vain.
More punches in the air. After a year of “war” Putin declared “we havent even started yet”.
We know. We can see that on all the dead bodies of young men from Russia, Donbass and Ukraine around Donbass and all the widows, alone mothers with children, that you never really started to stop the bloodshed.
But all right, you did a real job on all the foreign mercenaries, and you made a lot of paperwork to follow all the International usury Rules of Order to be equal partners.
One and All necessarily advise against any attempted detonation, by any party at all, for any reason whatsoever.
The ABCDE The End Treaty
FT is made (by Jesus) to serve ABCDE, at his feet, like good dogs.
Any FT have a problem with that see Jesus.
Any saudi that has cut ties with ABCDE will be cut from The Tree of Adam including all faggots and any animals they have touched.
ABCDE demands absolute loyalty from FT by penalty of cutting for cutting, like as sirat razor bridge.
surgical precision or we can seriously f7ck you up.
An unsigned Treaty remains in effect, the more shit you throw, we dont gaf.
Bottom Line:
YAP Positive Wins
YAP negative loses

President Putin’s speech was very professional, as always, and he has effectively begun stage 2 of Russias strategy to tame the Western Hyiena’s.
More nukes won’t make much difference, both sides currently have enough to kill us all anyways.
Probably time for an underground test…
the downfall of the decayed lgbt empire announced by Putin…expect more destruction of infrastructure, ammo fuel depots next 30-45 days—then massive offensive where another 15% of former ukraine will be liberated—my % and timing could be maybe more and sooner—ask jens he always knows
I’m surprised that the UK and US have not insisted on an lgbt flag as their main demand.
