ElwoodBlues Ah yes. The battle cry of the con man. "did you get it in writing?". Despite the fact we have testimonies from both sides that that was agreed to.
Just pointing out your omitting of inconvenient facts about America's bad faith dealings is support by pretending they didn't happen by leaving it out of the discussion.
And the Russian response to the INF treaty was a direct result of RIM-161 SM-3 systems being installed in Poland. The entire point of that treaty was to keep missiles out of Europe.
For a country not to respond would be dereliction of duty bordering on treason.
Regardless the grown up response is to negotiate. Not take your toys and stomp off home.
This plan to put missiles into Poland was tried 10 years before and was a non starter for a reason.
