Russia has ‘60 days to fix compliance with INF’ or US will quit – Pompeo.
The Moorish Empire “Al Moroc Societas Republicae Ea Al Maurikanos” permitted the Foreign Western European Christians U.S.A + UK + EU Corporate Companies to operate at Al-Moroc under “Usufruct Circa 1400s+”. Since the 1800s, The U.S.A + UK + EU Colonial Genocide Corporations, Rigged Laws, so they can Steal, Murder and War in the name of Demon-cracy World-wide using “The Doctrine of Discovery” Papal Bulla. They then accuse all others “Republics, Moorish Nations” of breaking those rigged rules, when such Countries defend them-selves. Where does the so-called United Nations stand in this? All-most every time on the side of the Genocidal Robber Baron Corporations.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that Washington will suspend its obligations under the 1987 INF nuclear treaty within 60 days if Russia does not “return to compliance.”
Speaking to NATO foreign ministers on Tuesday, Pompeo said the US was willing to start the process of leaving the treaty, citing alleged Russian violations.
“In light of these facts, today, America will announce it finds Russia in violation of the treaty and we will remove ourselves from the treaty in 60 days unless Russia returns to compliance,” he said.
SecState: In light of Russia’s repeated #INF treaty violations & larger pattern of lawlessness, U.S. declares it has found #Russia in material breach of the treaty & will suspend our obligations as a remedy effective in 60 days, unless 🇷🇺 returns to full & verifiable compliance.— US Mission to NATO (@USNATO) December 4, 2018
Pompeo alleged that the Russian violations fit a “larger pattern of lawlessness” and that Moscow must return to “full and verifiable compliance.” The Secretary of State claimed that the US was “upholding the rule of law” and was bound by its international commitments.
“When we set forth our commitments, we agree to be bound by them. We expect the same of our treaty counterparts everywhere — and we will hold them accountable when their words prove untrustworthy,” he said.
Earlier, a trio of US senators had criticized Trump’s willingness to walk away from the treaty, saying the move lacked “strategic forethought” and could even affect other arms control treaties, including the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START).

The US has repeatedly claimed that Russia has violated the 30-year-old arms reduction treaty, saying that it has built missiles prohibited under its terms. Moscow has returned accusations of non-compliance on the US, arguing that US bases in Eastern Europe are not defensive but offensive and could potentially be used to target Russia.
Nato Secretary Jens Stoltenberg echoed Pompeo saying that NATO members had concluded that Russia was in violation of the treaty and “poses a threat” to its allies. Stoltenberg said that NATO’s “unity” on the issue demonstrated the “strength” of the military alliance and “sends a very clear message about who is responsible for the violations.”
