Did anyone not see this coming? Probably the left, but they never see it coming. I have been hearing since July that once this happened, the invasion of Georgia would be inevitable.Russia's parliament voted Wednesday to suspend compliance with a key Cold War treaty limiting conventional forces in Europe as Moscow signalled it was weighing new force deployments on its western flank.
NATO quickly responded to the move, calling it a "regrettable step."
The lower house of Russia's parliament, the State Duma, voted unanimously to approve a Kremlin decision to suspend compliance with the 1990 Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty from December 12.
The CFE treaty "no longer responds to the security interests of the Russian Federation" in light of NATO expansion and other factors that have altered the European security landscape, according to the motion approved by the Duma.
The vote was confirmation of a decision announced by President Vladimir Putin last July. The upper house of parliament was expected to validate the Duma vote on November 16.
Perfect timing too, the coup attempt is underway. I wonder how long until their soldiers deployed to Iraq and AFG are recalled home.
