12 hours agoExpiry of the last nuclear treaty between the US and Russia opens the door to rearmament
The United States and the Russian Federation, the successor to the Soviet Union that was dissolving as Gorbachev resigned, have allowed the only remaining nuclear arms control agreement to expire without any sign of negotiations in the short term. Other pacts, such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty and the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, also perished before it. Gorbachev and Bush laid the foundation for this system of limiting nuclear arsenals with the signing of the START Treaty in Moscow on July 31, 1991.
