START Treaty is now a FART Treaty…

Obama the president of the USA signed the START Treaty. But not without exclaiming about the real issue and thorn in the treaty, that has come out with Russia:

“It is the policy of the United States to continue development and deployment of United States missile defense systems to defend against missile threats from nations such as North Korea and Iran, including qualitative and quantitative improvements to such systems,” Said Obama…

“Consequently, while the United States cannot circumscribe the sovereign rights of the Russian Federation under paragraph 3 of Article XIV of the Treaty, the United States believes continued improvement and deployment of United States missile defense systems do not constitute a basis for questioning the effectiveness and viability of the Treaty, and therefore would not give rise to circumstances justifying the withdrawal of the Russian Federation from the Treaty,” Said Obama…

Hummm…

That is not what Russia thinks and what Obama signed as a START Treaty makes that clear. America had changed the START Treaty and Russia responded in like form…

Now we have a START is a FART treaty…

If America farts over missile defense without Russia being happy. Oh – the stink will hit the fan…

We should have left the treaty alone as it was first presented. The new Russian wording and amendments are serious issues to Russia…
