Dick Lugar: “In 2007, Russia suspended implementation of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty and has not provided any CFE…”

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.

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

That is a very dangerous attitude to take.

Congress could condition funding to develop new missiles on receipt from the administration of a comprehensive military, economic, and diplomatic strategy to bring Russia back into compliance with the treaty.
