Russia has deployed a cruise missile in violation of a landmark arms treaty with the United States, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

The deployment of the missile would violate the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.

The news of the deployment comes as the Trump administration deals with the fallout from Michael Flynn’s resignation as national security adviser. Flynn stepped down after reports that he communicated with Russia's ambassador to the U.S. about sanctions prior to President Trump's inauguration and misled Vice President Pence about it.

It also comes after Trump reportedly dismissed a separate arms treaty with Russia as a bad deal and called for the United States to “greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability.”

The art of the deal?

iran and korea are both shooting off missiles and now this.

The cons sure changed their tune on this stuff now that obama is out of office.

I was just talking about this in another thread. It's just a matter of time before foreign leaders figure out Trump is in way over his head.

Now they are just ******* with us.

They were already violating the terms of the treaty when Obama was in office. NYT didn't pay much attention.

Iran and North Korea were given the green light by Obama who clearly was in over his head.

Or maybe they are upset that Trump fired their boy Flynn.

Putin tested Obama and found Obama totally spineless.

He's probably testing Trump now.

You are going to compare " improperly eliminating SS-25 mobile missiles" to deploying a cruise missile?


Come on man.

Yeah....except for that whole sanction thingy which crippled the Russian economy...that thingy that Trump wants to rescind when no one is looking.

Prolonged Sanctions Rip Into Russian Economy, Causing Angst For Putin

I know you conservatives like to throw around your "Muh Putin's" and such, but mark my words. Trump's plans are to collude with Russia in an attempt to defeat ISIS. And it will end very very badly. Believe me.

How? What's your worst case scenario?
Syria goes back to where it was 5 years ago, firmly under Assad with a Russian naval base and Ukraine goes back to where it was 5 years ago (minus Crimea) with a pro-Russian president?

Could be... Obama was pretty in over his head too... The red line in Syria and Putin rolling into the Ukraine showed zero respect for his use of US force.

I was hoping trump would be slightly stronger. He's being tested now.

ah yes...saying we should have fought a war against russia in their backyard. then using HRC wanting to be tougher on russia over crimea as a negative thing?

the republicans are so ridiculous with their hypocrisy.

Putin has zero fear of Trump. Why fear your puppet.

This was clearly a "Don't forget who got you elected" message.
