If USA redeploys nuclear cruise missiles to Europe it will not make us safer

missile-risingRedeployment of nukes to Europe won’t increase US security – Moscow Rt, December 12, 2014  The possible redeployment of nuclear cruise missiles to Europe and other military steps mentioned by a US official over Russia’s alleged violation of a crucial arms control treaty won’t add to US security, but will increase tension, Moscow said………..Earlier this year, the US implemented several waves of sanctions and aborted cooperation with Moscow in a number of key areas over Russia’s alleged involvement in the Ukraine crisis.

The INF Treaty is a key agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union which put a seal on the Cold War era.

It eliminated nuclear and conventional ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with intermediate ranges, defined as between 500-5,500 kilometers (300-3,400 miles).

The two countries agreed to reduce their nuclear arsenals, eliminate an entire category of nuclear weapons, and conduct extensive on-site verification inspections. As a result, Moscow and Washington destroyed a total of 2,692 missiles. http://rt.com/news/214011-russia-us-nuclear-europe/
