Bye-bye INF treaty?
Jim Oberg wrote:
It's unclear to me if the INF treaty has, like the ABM treaty did have, the legal option for parties to withdraw with appropriate notice -- or was it open-ended? The US did not 'break' the ABM treaty -- the question remains, do the Russians intend now to 'break' the INF treaty, or are they legally exercising a codacile in it? http://www.state.gov/www/global/arms/treaties/inf2.html "Article XV 1. This Treaty shall be of unlimited duration. 2. Each Party shall, in exercising its national sovereignty, have the right to withdraw from this Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events related to the subject matter of this Treaty have jeopardized its supreme interests. It shall give notice of its decision to withdraw to the other Party six months prior to withdrawal from this Treaty. Such notice shall include a statement of the extraordinary events the notifying Party regards as having jeopardized its supreme interests." "Pat Flannery" wrote in message ... Remember how I said pulling out of the ABM treaty was a dumb move, because the Russians would think that any treaty we had with them wasn't worth the paper it was written on? Well, guess what?: http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Russ...reaty_999.html Pat |
