U.S. pulls out of Soviet-era nuclear missile pact with Russia

The United States formally withdrew from a landmark nuclear missile pact with Russia on Friday after determining that Moscow was in violation of the treaty, something the Kremlin has repeatedly denied.

Washington signalled it would pull out of the arms control treaty six months ago unless Moscow stuck to the accord. Russia called the move a ploy to exit a pact the United States wanted to leave anyway in order to develop new missiles.

The 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) was negotiated by then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

INF treaty.

    This "AC" guy. He is like everywhere man. You never know who he's going to be one minute to the next. Now we know. The information is Out There. We have the truth.
    His name is: Anonymous Coward.
    He is a time traveler, or just capable of bouncing around the planet instantaneously. Logging in from many countries, sometimes seemingly at once, this person takes on many forms, appears to be many people, but now we know, this is just a rare case of multi-manifestation of split personality disorder. We must help this person. Reign in their behavior. Help them accept who they are. If need be, and if all else fails, find a nice padded room with a new coat with long sleeves for them. To help them. To help us. To help us all.
