BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Russia must halt its covert development of 'a banned cruise missile system' (Kinsal/Hypersonic)
or the United States will seek to destroy it before it becomes operational, Washington's envoy to NATO said on Tuesday.
(good luck)

The United States believes Russia is developing a ground-launched system in breach of a Cold War treaty
that could allow Russia to launch a nuclear strike on Europe at short notice, but Moscow has consistently denied any such violation.

U.S. ambassador to NATO Kay Bailey Hutchison said Washington remained committed to a diplomat solution
but was prepared to consider a military strike if Russian development of the medium-range system continued.

"At that point, we would be looking at the capability to take out a (Russian) missile that could hit any of our countries,"
she told a news conference.

"Counter measures (by the United States) would be to take out the missiles that are in development by Russia in violation of the treaty,".

"They are on notice."

Time to leave NATO, it has become an anti-Russia suicide pact.

these threats to Russia from the US are getting increasingly unhinged, almost panicked. Perhaps the US dollar is closer to the edge than we previously thought let's see if another crazy threat is made in the next couple days


One can only conclude that Hutchinson's comments to 'take out' Russian missiles seen as breaching the INF treaty is scripted and deliberate. I think that USA/NATO is preparing for hot war with Russia, it is the trend over time: more and more combative rhetoric such as this; more encirclement of Russia by NATO; more sanctions–sanctions so extreme as to sanction and penalize ANY country which does trade with Russia ... The Syria situation with Russia, USA, Israel, Iran concentrated in such a small space...this is really fucking dangerous shit. It's brinkmanship done by Israel-USA. I have a bad feeling we might be in for WWIII if current trends continue


With support for sanctions beginning to weaken in Europe, the u.s. is looking for a new reason to extend sanctions. ... The US has no intention of normalizing relations with Russia, and it is not about to let the EU have any reason to normalize relations with Russia.

NATO should have been disbanded after the Soviet Union fell in the late 80s.

another good one:


The US will not go to nuclear war, because the Pentagon understands this would mean the total destruction of the US (and the world, of course, but we're talking about what the Pentagon sees as damage).


Russia understands the domestic political scene and the US culture very well. She professionally studies her adversary, of course, and has done so for decades. My guess is that within the Russian thinking sits the understanding that propaganda dupes like Hutchinson are a small price to pay for the privilege of watching your opponent progressively destroy all its footing in the world.


Russia will only challenge the gaucheries of the US in very calculated and measured ways - because, there's no sense to wake up your enemy in the middle of his making yet another mistake.


Part of what drives armchair hotheads crazy is that Russia refuses to react, and instead simply acts. And yet, by "doing nothing", Russia is winning in perceptible strides. Here again, it's important to see the mistakes of this naive Texas woman in the world theater as another step forward for Russia, another step backwards for the US.
So don't worry, y'all.

nor I would add
does the US have any intentions of calling off the Trade War with China.
ever.

Even the Boltons of the world aren't quite this insane (I hope), so I'm inclined to think this is a bluff.

But, being insane, the threat isn't credible and therefore not useful as a bluff.

So... I'm not sure what to make of this.
