2:13 am
tested a cruise missile also previously banned early this month washington pulled out of the i.n.f. treaty accusing russia of violations but moscow alleges the u.s. was just looking for an excuse to develop new weapons. we should be known from october of last year when the us national security advisor john bolton visited us he said that donald trump statement about washington's withdrawal from the treaty is not an invitation to dialogue but a final decision it appears that then or maybe even earlier the u.s. started preparing the missile tests conducted on sunday and banned by the i.n.f. treaty the department of defense conducted a fly test of the conventionally configured ground launch cruise missile of the us west coast sunday the test missile exited its ground mobile launcher and accurately impacted his target after more than 500 kilometers of flight long before the i.n.f. treaty demise part of the us establishment were eager to enhance america's nuclear
