Speaking to Russia\u2019s Federal Assembly on February 20, President Vladimir Putin addressed the U.S. withdrawal. He made it clear that if the U.S. deploys nuclear weapons to European countries bordering Russia, he will not hesitate to place nuclear weapons off the coast of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The INF Treaty was originally produced and signed by former President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armscontrol.org\/factsheets\/INFtreaty\">Arms Control Association<\/a>, the treaty required both global powers to eliminate and permanently give up all of their nuclear and conventional ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges from 500 to 5,500 kilometers. This lead to a total of 2,692 short-intermediate range missiles being dismantled by the treaty\u2019s implementation deadline of June 1, 1991.<\/p>\n<p>The demise of the treaty was triggered by the Trump Administration\u2019s withdrawal following several accusations that Moscow had breached its parameters. <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2019\/02\/inf-treaty-exit-putin-says-hes-ready-to-escalate-to-cuban-missile-crisis-levels\/\">ARS Technica<\/a> reports that U.S. intelligence has gathered evidence that Russia\u2019s DSC-8 modification of a sea-launched cruise missile can reach ranges of up to 1,500 miles. The INF Treaty restricts any mobile launchers to have a maximum range of 600 miles.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Russian representatives have justified their withdrawal from the treaty by pointing to the U.S. Aegis Ashore systems, which are antiballistic missile installations that the United States has in Romania and Poland. Though these systems are \u00a0currently not operational, Moscow claims the U.S. is still able to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles from these sites, although the missiles were retired from service under the Obama Administration.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/putin-warns-new-weapons-will-target-us-if-missiles-are-deployed-in-europe\/2019\/02\/20\/62d0456e-3468-11e9-8375-e3dcf6b68558_story.html?utm_term=.856cb586528d\">Washington Post<\/a> reports that one catalyzing factor for both sides was China\u2019s ability to grow and maintain a nuclear arsenal, whereas the U.S. and Russia were unable to do so under the treaty. The nullification of the INF Treaty allows both powers to ensure their own capacities are to the same standard as China.\u00a0 Currently, both Washington D.C. and Moscow have six months to negotiate new terms until both sides fully withdraw from their obligations to the treaty.<\/p>\n<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged the \u201cmutual complaints by both sides and different approaches to problems\u201d while also firmly stating that, \u201cthere is no reason for aggravating the [circumstances] to the level of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1960.\u201d.\u00a0 He has also made it clear that he does not want the U.S. to be surprised by Russia\u2019s \u201cdefensive reactions\u201d if the U.S. chooses to place weapons along The Russian border.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s most dangerous development is the \u201cPoseidon\u201d nuclear torpedo, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/russia-drops-first-video-of-putins-poseidon-doomsday-nuclear-torpedo-2019-2\">Business Insider<\/a>. This 80 foot-long, two megaton underwater missile can travel upwards of 127 miles per hour and carries a nuclear payload as its main weapon. Stephen Schwartz, the author of \u201cAtomic Audit: The Costs and Consequences of US Nuclear Weapons since 1940,\u201d discussed Poseidon\u2019s capabilities of &#8220;sucking up dirt, or water, and contaminating it with debris from the bomb, and then lofting it into the atmosphere.\u201d\u00a0 This radioactive atmosphere could linger for decades, making the effects far worse than what was seen in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this devastating weapon, Moscow is known to be developing the Bruevestnik cruise missile and a hypersonic missile dubbed Avangard.\u00a0 This hypersonic missile is designed to skip and glide through the atmosphere at speeds greater than Mach 20. U.S. defense officials have confirmed a similar project being worked on, but have cited concerns over how much further along the Russian program is.<\/p>\n<p>The fallout of this treaty comes during a time when relations between the two superpowers remain under the international spotlight.\u00a0 While the United States deals with the fallout of possible Russian interference and collusion with the Trump administration during the 2016 election, President Putin continues to push back on American aggression against Syria&#8217;s Assad regime.\u00a0 If both parties are unable to find a compromise before the six month deadline, the likelihood of a Cold War era nuclear race may become inevitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States and Russian Federation have withdrawn their commitments to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Force (INF) Treaty, which is an arms control measure between the two nuclear superpowers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4048,"featured_media":7493,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1589,382,384,387],"tags":[885,1446,1606,1635],"class_list":["post-7492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-february-2019","category-international-news","category-americas","category-europe","tag-law","tag-conflict","tag-inf","tag-nuclear-powers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
