User ID: 78071217 United States10/10/2019 09:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The 'Open Skies' treaty which the US signed in 1992 and went into effect in 2002 is the agreement which allows Russian surveillance planes to occasionally fly over the heart of North America, in an unusual arrangement which has US residents understandably freaking out when they might look up and see a large Russian Tu-214ON aircraft overhead. Quoting: Prudent Nomad The post Cold War treaty allows its 34 member states to conduct short-notice, unarmed observation flights to monitor other countries' military operations in mutual verification of arms-control agreements. However, following the Trump administration's pullout of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), it seems the White House increasingly views the 'Open Skies' agreement as also obsolete. CNN reported late Tuesday the administration is expected to soon exit the treaty. "The Trump administration is expected to soon announce that it plans to exit the Open Skies treaty, a US official tells CNN, a move that has already drawn condemnation from Democrats in Congress," according to the report."

Prayer is the most powerful force on earth. “I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.” Abraham Lincoln I sign all karma given. Would that those giving it to me followed suit. |
