PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS: Washington withdrew from the INF treaty as part of
the attempt, ongoing since the Clinton regime, to achieve military
hegemony over Russia. Clinton broke Washington’s word and moved NATO to
Russia’s borders. George W. Bush withdrew from the anti-ballistic
missile treaty in order to create a shield that would give Washington a
first-strike advantage over Russia. Russia responded with hypersonic
missiles that cannot be intercepted. Trump withdrew from the INF treaty
in order to place missiles on Russia’s borders that permit Russia no
reaction time.
