Russia to Retaliate Against the US Over Sanctions, Troops and Warheads Ready In its bid to impose more sanctions on Russia for its actions concerning Ukraine, the US Congress approved unanimously a new set of provisions over the country. Russia warned the West previously that if it pushes through with the bill then it will retaliate accordingly. There are now concerns about Russias next move. (Laura Densmore; Hebrew Nation News) The Pentagon has threatened Russia with redeploying nuclear cruise missiles to Europe, accusing Moscow of violating two arms control treaties. We dont have ground-launched cruise missiles in Europe now obviously because theyre prohibited by the treaty, said Brian McKeon, principal deputy undersecretary for policy at the Department of Defense. But that would obviously be one option to explore, he added. Washington says Moscow violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. However, Russia denied the allegation and said the testing of a ground-launched cruise missile in July 2014 was in compliance with the INF treaty. Undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security Rose Gottemoeller announced that US President Barack Obama has written his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin about the violation. Gottemoeller said that the United States were considering a list of military countermeasures against Russia. McKeon also warned Russia not to engage in an escalatory cycle of action and reaction. He said Russian and US counter-actions will make Russia less secure. This violation will not go unanswered, because there is too much at stake, he said.
