President Trump has fulfilled his promise to back out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) with Russia, citing that Russia’s government had broken the treaty over a decade ago, and continues to violate the agreement.
For years, it was very clear that Russia had been cheating, including their testing of a ground-based cruise missile program.
The U.S. and NATO tried everything to get the Russians acknowledge their deceit and betrayal, but all their efforts to do so failed.
