Dick Lugar: “The administration has sought to cooperate with Russia on U.S. missile defense programs in Europe.”

Several members of Congress have already proposed legislation along these lines.

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

The President has to want to get back into the discussions. At this point, there is not evidence that that is the case.

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.
