07/14/2007: "Russia threatens Europe yet again"

Russia on Saturday suspended its participation in a key European arms control treaty that governs deployment of troops on the continent, the Kremlin said, a move that threatened to further aggravate Moscow's already tense relations with the West.

Under the moratorium, Russia would halt inspections and verifications of its military sites by NATO countries and would no longer limit the number of its conventional weapons, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The treaty is seen as a key element in maintaining stability in Europe. It establishes limitations on countries' deployment of tanks, armored combat vehicles, artillery, attack helicopters and combat aircraft.

[ Hello, Cold War Pt 2 -- yet another area where Hitler was right. If he had taken out the revolutionary Soviet state, and placed it under European control, Russians would have suffered less and Europe would not have future suffering in mind. Hitler was right. Hitler has always been right. While prancy Western diplomats whine about his mistakes, they forget that for the most part, he was right and would have saved us uncountable misery, war and self-destruction. ]
