Quoting: whats next MOSCOW, March 24 (UPI) -- Russia increased tension over NATO nuclear missiles Tuesday with a demand that the United States remove all non-strategic nuclear weapons from Europe. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich referred to comments by Jen Psaki, his counterpart at the U.S. State Department, that U.S. missiles are under constant U.S. control, as distorted. He added that deployment of U.S. missiles in European NATO countries is a violation of the 1968 Treaty on Nuclear Weapons Non-Proliferation. [link to www.upi.com] Pls. define "non-strategic".

The U.S. also maintains approximately 700-800 additional tactical warheads in storage. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68693562 United States 03/26/2015 05:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | shouldn't they care more about the strategic missiles? the strategic missiles are the big ones they use on cities and civilians. tactical are used on the military targets. If they want to use tactical weapons to blow up tanks and airplanes and warships, then that won't bother civilians so much. Seems like those would be more acceptable. |

With no tactical nukes in Europe, Russian divisions are free to roll over Nato countries, backed up by their own tactical nukes. |

Interesting dilemma, accuse the USA of something you yourself have done while trying not to look a complete hypocrite... |
