Sorry for the hit-and-run diary, but I really have no other context to provide other than what’s in the article. And the obligatory “oh shit.”
BREAKING NEWS President Trump faces a new test: Russia has secretly deployed a cruise missile that violates a crucial arms treaty, officials say 11:46 AM
The ground-launched cruise missile at the center of American concerns is one that the Obama administration said in 2014 had been tested in violation of a 1987 treaty that bans American and Russian intermediate-range missiles based on land.
The Obama administration had sought to persuade the Russians to correct the violation while the missile was still in the test phase. Instead, the Russians have moved ahead with the system, deploying a fully operational unit.
