    Default Russia accuses U.S. of loose weapons control

    (*******) - Russia accused the United States on Saturday of breaching its obligations over the non proliferation of weapons, a sign of strained relations between the two powers.

    The charge came after a new arms control treaty between the United States and Russia suffered a setback this week when the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee delayed a ratification vote until mid-September.

    Russia said it had successfully test fired two ballistic missiles from the Barents Sea on Friday, Interfax news agency reported, in another sign of muscle-flexing from Moscow.

    Both sides are guilty. I don't remember START stating that they cannot build newer nukes to replace the old ones....

    it all depends on which side of the "spin" your sitting on ... to the US NMD is for rogue states, to other potential rivals it is "muscle-flexing" ... while NMD might not be too effective against thousands of nuclear missiles it does force china to change it's minimal deterrent strategy and also could be used to block rival versions of global prompt strike
