:The facts are, [[Oreshnik]] is a creation of [[Donald Trump]]. Trump cancelled the [[INF Treaty]] at the behest of [[Pompeo]] & [[Bolton]] in 2019. IOWs, Trump didn't know what he was doing, and that greenlighted the Russians to go ahead and build new intermediate range missiles. Putin's been clear since that happened - arms limitation agreements & overall security agreements come first. But the Russians (Chinese and the rest of the planet) no longer have any trust in the [[United States]], which abandons international treaties at will based on America's domestic politics, which change every four years.
