The United States does not intend to place on the territory of Eurasia ground installations with cruise missiles of medium and shorter-range missiles, as they already deployed missile systems, sea- and air. This was stated by NATO Deputy Secretary General Rose Gottemoeller.
Speaking in Oslo a speech on nuclear deterrence, Gottemoeller, specifically stated, that the US will not be placed in the Eurasian land launchers, previously prohibited by the INF Treaty, because they have in this region a sufficient amount of air missile systems, and sea-based, as well as the reserves stockpiled in Europe of nuclear tactical weapons.
can say, actually, that the missiles land-based intermediate-range is not very necessary to deter US in Eurasia, as to accommodate their need to seek special base. Therefore, the United States have already placed in the region are very powerful air and sea-based missile platform
– she told.
According to her,, The United States since the days of the Cold War in Europe keep tactical nuclear bombs. They are stored under the full “American control” and other countries do not have access to them. but, US willing to connect “non-nuclear NATO countries” to perform “US nuclear missions in Europe”.
Russia should not worry about these stocks, because the United States retain full control over them, that they do not intend to transfer any other country
– Gottemoeller said.
At the end of her speech, she also did not forget to repeat the US “mantra” About, that the collapse of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty to blame only one Russian, which is constantly violated contract. The United States were always committed to implementing the INF Treaty, and came out of it just because of the Russian violations.
