The US statement on the relocation of its nuclear weapons from Germany to Poland aggravates relations between Russia and NATO. This was announced today in the Russian Foreign Ministry.
It was recently reported that American diplomats began preparing public opinion in Europe for the possibility of transferring US tactical nuclear weapons from Germany to Poland.
Earlier, experts have already stated that if the United States does not bluff, but is really exploring the possibility of transferring nuclear weapons to the east of Europe, then the continent will face a sharp escalation of tension.
The goal of the launched information campaign is obvious – to shut up the opponents of the American nuclear presence in Germany, to secure the support of Warsaw as Washington’s already super-loyal ally on NATO’s “eastern flank” and at the same time advance its own political and economic interests.
However, the State Department continues its anti-Russian hysteria. According to the US State Department, Russia is conducting experiments with exceeding the critical mass of nuclear material and energy output. In these experiments, a self-sustaining chain reaction could be achieved. However, the agency has no information on whether such tests were conducted in Russia in 2019. Contrary to the terms of the agreement on limiting underground nuclear tests, Moscow did not inform Washington about such experiments. Due to the fact that Russia did not send notice of the experiment to the United States, the United States was not able to exercise its right to verify test data, the State Department said.
Recall that the agreement on limiting the underground testing of nuclear weapons was signed by the United States and the Soviet Union in 1974 and entered into force in 1990. He puts a limit on the capacity of underground nuclear tests at 150 kilotons. In addition, the United States and Russia have committed themselves to a moratorium on nuclear testing. Moscow has signed and ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty; the United States has so far refrained from ratifying the treaty.
