WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th December, 2018) An extension of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) will likely be impossible without full compliance by Russia with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Joseph Dunford said.
"It would be best if Russia would comply with the INF which would set the conditions for a broader conversation about other arms control agreements to include the extension of START," Dunford said in a public appearance at the Washington Post on Thursday. "It's very difficult for me to envision progress in extending START two as an example if the foundation of that in noncompliance with the INF Treaty."
