我々は、この種のメディアによる流用を、ロシアに新STARTの枠組みを復活させ、米国が何の障害もなく戦略兵器を監視する能力を保持することを確実にするために行われたワシントンの政治宣伝キャンペーンの一環と見ている。

Russia's suspension of #NewSTART, 🇸🇪 & 🇫🇮 role for nuclear disarmament, prospects for US-Russian-Chinese cooperation & Iran’s uranium enrichment: our #STAND team's regular thread on recent news and analyses to #underSTAND #nuclear #deterrence and #threats (no endorsement).(1/9) 
Putin’s announcement to suspend Russia’s🇷🇺 participation in the #NewSTART treaty may signal the end to formal #arms #control (bit.ly/3EpGB5J). @WarOnTheRocks, @HannaNotte argues that the US should use all means to reverse Russia’s decision (bit.ly/3IMc6tm).(2/9)
Also @WarOnTheRocks, @ProfOnderco and Clara Portela discuss the consequences of NATO’s Nordic enlargement on Swedish🇸🇪 and Finnish🇫🇮 bridge-building in the field of #nuclear #disarmament (bit.ly/3xKtg41). Joining NATO could impede their role as mediators.(3/9)

1. Full turn to the non-West:
Judging its break with the West to be total & irreversible, Russia's leadership has intensified its (pre-existing) turn to #MENA, #Africa, #LATAM, #Asia-Pacific.
Shunned & sanctioned, Russia needs to make up for losses wherever it can... (2/22)

This year, Lavrov already visited 8 African states, Iraq, & hosted Pakistani & Egyptian FMs.
Russia's push to expand engagement does resonate.

At Conference of Disarmament in Geneva yday, #Russia slightly more conciliatory on #NewSTART:
-"Important" that treaty continues to operate
-This fact means its parties "share an understanding of the risks emanating from a situation of strategic uncertainty and unpredictability"

-This fact means its parties "share an understanding of the risks emanating from a situation of strategic uncertainty and unpredictability"
-#NewSTART "keeps a window of opportunity open" for continued dialogue on strategic stability, with a focus on developing a possible agreement to replace it.
-US-RUS understandings reached in Geneva (2021) "retain the potential for the resumption and development of a comprehensive and substantive dialogue on future arms control, incl. involving all key players."

Unbelievable, we have #NewSTART figures on the MFA website: mid.ru/web/guest/maps…
...as well as traditional concerns on 56 Trident-II launch tubes, 41 'non-nuclear' B-52H heavy bombers and 4 MM-III "training silos". So +101 deployed and non-deployed launchers.

I hope that over the next five years we'll see such releases on a regular basis, and those will become more Russia-focused.
And, of course, the US should be proactive regarding Russian concerns with #NewSTART implementation.
"Strategic deterrence ... if that fails, nothing else in the department of Defense works as planned" @US_Stratcom Commander Adm Charles Richard tells Senate Armed Services Committee, warning of danger from nuclear #Russia & #China
#China "at some kind of an inflection point... well ahead of the pace to double their [nuclear] stockpile by the end of the decade" per @US_Stratcom's Adm Charles

An "'international protocol" extending the Agreement on ballistic missile and space launch vehicles launch notifications between Russia and China.
"This Protocol shall be temporarily applied from December 15, 2020 and shall enter into force on the day of receipt through diplomatic channels of the last written notification of the implementation by the Parties of the domestic procedures necessary for its entry into force."
BTW so far I haven't managed to find the relevant ratification documents on the Duma website.

New op-ed in @nytimes on the extension of #NewSTART and US/RUS #StrategicStability talks. James H. Anderson, Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy: nytimes.com/2020/07/29/opi…
"Increased U.S. nuclear force requirements to ensure credible deterrence against China would affect the United States-Russia strategic nuclear balance and threaten to undermine the prospects for further negotiated reductions."
"These talks need not focus on making China part of an extended New Start agreement. But renewing the treaty for the United States and Russia without conditions for bringing China into a broader arms control process carries risks for future security [...]".
Putin-Trump phone call today: kremlin.ru/events/preside…
BIG emphasis on strategic stability and arms control. Bilateral consultations, #NewSTART, P5 summit, Iranian nuclear programm, regional stability, global nuclear non-proliferation.
Expect a readout in English soon.

Good interview about SS-25 with an expert, who has real knowledge of this weapon both as a practitioner (14 MD) and a researcher (4 TsNII).
...apart from the point about Barguzin, of course. Rail-mobile systems have no added value.

Said a few words to @Vedomosti about #NewSTART future after Lavrov said that there seems to be no such future. (@sandrermakoff weighed in as well).

My point is that both Trump admin still can extend it, and if Biden wins, there's a chance that they will not extend. And China does not need extra obligations at the moment, but they are quite active in P5, discussing nuclear risk reduction, etc.

Ryabkov on Vienna talks:
- agreed to establish a working group on Space
- positive atmosphere, sides ready to move forward
- experts of strategic stability working group (?) to meet in mid-July
- next round in late July/early August
- disagreements on #NewSTART extension remain

Russia keeps delivering nuclear...papers. An epic piece by A.Khlopkov and @AsyaShavrova on how to extend #NewSTART in terms of procedure: globalaffairs.ru/articles/pyat-…
In Russian at the moment, but sure there will be English translation.
Bottom line: it will need 45 days. AT LEAST.

The Community Affairs References Committee releases their report into the Adequacy of #Newstart today.
The senate referred this in July last year and heard evidence from from well respected institutions and think tanks & most importantly income support recipients themselves.

For many people, #coronavirus means they are navigating the welfare system for the first time. #Centrelink is facing an unprecedented challenge and leaked emails from inside the organisation reveal confusion over new government policies. #abc730 @FarrellPF #COVID19Aus
Amanda Colton applied for #Newstart in January when her casual hours were reduced. “I don't know how many phone calls I've made to #Centrelink. However, I've only spoken to somebody once. And that was after I think waiting for two, two and a half hours.” #abc730 #coronavirus
Amanda Colton’s claim was finally approved after 11 weeks. “You couldn’t say it has achieved the goals #Centrelink is there to achieve, which is to help people as quickly as possible when they're in trouble.” #abc730 #coronavirusaustralia #COVID19Aus
I will be tweeting social welfare stimulus announcements here. #auspol #Covid_19australia
Key announcement: The government has introduced a $550 “time limited” supplement to Jobseeker Payment, Youth Allowance (jobseeker), Parenting Payment and others. #auspol #Covid_19australia
What to make of Trump's support for Putin's proposal for summit of the leaders of Perm 5 members of the UNSC on n-arms control and security issues? What does this mean for #NewSTART, #NPT, and further action on disarmament? Some background & analysis. 1/
A P5 leaders summit on nuclear weapons is a potentially important development. There hasn't been such a mtg since Sept. 2009 when Obama convened UNSC for Resolution 1887. See armscontrol.org/pressroom/2009… This time around real progress is going to be difficult. Some background ... 2/
its important to note that the P5 heads of state summit idea is not a Trump initiative; the WH is responding to an invitation from President Putin sent to the leaders of the P5 members of the UNSC in late-January. Putin spoke about his concept in a speech a few days earlier. 3/
