*Well, since the treaty already has a clause written into it which allows us
to pull out if our "supreme interests" are jeopardized, I'd say that our
supreme interests are being jeopardized by the treaty itself. Therefore, no
need to honor the damn thing.*
*Hey, just thinking like a Russian and not a Lefturd, useful idiot,
red-diaper-doper-baby like Obama:

*Russia nears arms pact approval, warns on pullout*

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia's parliament moved closer to approving a landmark
arms reduction treaty with Washington Friday by amending domestic
legislation to stress that Moscow could withdraw from the pact if it felt
threatened by the West.
The amendments required for Russia to ratify the New START treaty do not
change the pact itself and were introduced before the second of three
ratification votes in the State Duma, the lower house of parliament.
[...]
New START will commit each side to ceilings of 1,550 warheads on deployed
strategic missiles and bombers within seven years and establish verification
rules to replace those that expired in 2009 with the 1991 START I treaty.
Analysts say rejection of the treaty by Russia's parliament, dominated by
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's ruling United Russia party, is out of the
question. The amendments enabled Russia to underscore how it views the pact.
*Which is to say, they want it because it severely cripples America while
giving them the upper hand, yet they have no intentions of being bound by
their side of the treaty. Gee, like no one saw that one coming...*
Duma international affairs committee chairman Konstantin Kosachyov said the
amendments would "restore balance" after the U.S. Senate irked Russia with
its interpretations of the treaty.
The amendments stipulate that Russia could withdraw if military deployments
*or even plans by the United States* or NATO jeopardize its security.
*Um, they know, and we know, that we ALWAYS have a plan laying around
somewhere that "jeopardizes" Russia's security. I'll let our readers figure
out what that truly means in the eyes of the Russians concerning this piece
of crap STOP Treaty.*
They highlight lingering rifts over U.S. plans for a European anti-missile
shield and Russian concerns over other weapons it fears the United States or
NATO could deploy.
A missile system that weakens Russia's nuclear arsenal would "force us to
use the article of the treaty that provides for the withdrawal of a state
that feels violated in terms of security," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
told the Duma, Interfax reported.
