It seems to me to be really a safety net there.

In the likely event the INF Treaty collapses in August, the only remaining bilateral U.S.-Russia arms control agreement would be New START, which expires in 2021 but can be extended by up to five years through agreement by both parties.

Jettisoning treaties that provide a legal framework for exposing Russian violations achieves nothing.

Congress has the ability to press the administration on its strategy to prevent a new Euro-missile race and increased instability in the absence of the INF Treaty.
