U.S. Threatens Russia with Military Strike
- PressTV Published on Oct 3, 2018
The United States has threatened Russia with a military strike after claiming that Moscow is developing banned cruise missiles. U-S ambassador to NATO Kay Bailey Hutchison said Russia is building medium-range ballistic missiles in violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. She said Washington remains committed to a diplomatic solution but it is ready to consider a military strike if Moscow doesn’t halt its activity. The Russian Foreign Ministry slammed the U-S envoy’s remarks as aggressive and destructive. It added that Washington will get a detailed response from Moscow’s military experts. The U-S claims Russia is developing a ground-launched system in breach of a Cold War treaty that allows Russia to launch a nuclear strike on Europe, but Moscow has strongly denied the allegation.
