The New Atlas | How the US Destruction of the INF Treaty Backfired | Sept. 3, 2026

Labels , , , ,

Source: The New Atlas youtube



Description:
While the US has lofty plans to eventually outproduce Russia in terms of the many munitions and launch systems previously prohibited by the INF treaty, it remains to be seen whether or not the US has the ability to put these plans into action and whether or not Russia can continue to meet or exceed US military industrial production in the process. So far, it would appear that the US decision to unilaterally withdraw from its arms control treaties with Russia has backfired.
