Remember, folks, that it was Obama/Biden admin who was asleep at the switch while Putin violated INF Treaty since 2009. Only arrival of the Trump admin brought US reaction to these violations ultimately leading to a pullout. What's the point of having a treaty with someone who doesn't give a fuck of holding their end of the bargain?

NATO was supposed to be disbanded once the Warsaw Pact ended, then it was supposed to not move into old Eastern Bloc nations.
It appears that not Trump, but Bidet has sold zimself out to Russians. Russians want this type of crap treaty, which they will break while US would abide by it.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced early Wednesday the US has formally agreed to extend the New START treaty with Russia for another five years.
"Extending the New START Treaty ensures we have verifiable limits on Russian ICBMs, SLBMs, and heavy bombers until February 5, 2026," Blinken said in a statement
The prior agreement was set to expire on Feb.5 and its fate was anything but certain, given that both the INF and Open Skies treaties faltered under the past US administration.
It was no secret that the Russians were waiting out Trump, anticipating that the former president's declared desire to pull out New START would be a moot point should Biden take the White House.
