Tensions rise as US threatens to 'take out' Russian missiles

The threat from a senior US diplomat to "take out" Russian missiles that Washington believes are in breach of an important Cold War arms control treaty looks set to cause additional tensions with Moscow, just ahead of a meeting of Nato defence ministers that opens in Brussels on Wednesday.

The US ambassador to Nato, Kay Bailey Hutchison, was speaking ahead of that meeting and brought up once again Washington's contention that Russia is in breach of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) agreement of 1987.

This treaty banned a whole category of weapons: ground-launched medium-range missiles, capable of striking targets at distances between 500 and 5,500km (310-3,100 miles).

From CNN
"the countermeasures would be to take out the missiles that are in development by Russia in violation of the treaty."
"Getting them to withdraw would be our choice, of course. But I think the question was what would you do if this continues to a point where we know that they are capable of delivering. And at that point we would then be looking at a capability to take out a missile that could hit any of our countries in Europe and hit America in Alaska,"

Based on common sense and realizing that Bailey is a Trump political hack who doesn't know anymore than the post it notes her staff leaves for her..

What she probably means is that the US will counter any Russian missile capability with the corresponding anti missile capability in our various missile defense systems.
 
This type of aggressive behavior is what happens when you show weakness and coddle the enemy.

Russia has no respect nor fear of Trump.

These now just look like overblown threats to compensate for earlier weakness.

Watch Russia brush them aside.

"We have illegal missles you say? Fake news. Who told you that, the deep state over at CIA? Lies."
