The treaty was designed to reduce tensions between Cold War rivals by curbing military buildups on borders in Europe. But Russia’s exit, along with its war in Ukraine, have made the treaty “unsustainable,” NATO said.
NATO announced on Tuesday that it would suspend the operation of a Cold War-era security treaty after Russia formally exited the agreement.
It’s the latest in a series of rising tensions between NATO and Russia after Moscow launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), which was signed in 1990 and ratified two years later, sought to prevent Cold War rivals from building up military forces and equipment near their mutual borders.
Russia previously suspended its participation in the pact in 2007 and announced its intent to completely withdraw in 2015. Russia’s exit from the agreement was finalized earlier on Tuesday.

Oh. Oh no.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
NATO announced on Tuesday that it would suspend the operation of a Cold War-era security treaty after Russia formally exited the agreement.
It’s the latest in a series of rising tensions between NATO and Russia after Moscow launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The statement added that Russia’s move to invade Ukraine and its ongoing war in the country were also “contrary to the [CFE] Treaty’s objectives.”
While Ukraine is not yet a member of NATO, several neighboring countries are in the military alliance — including Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia.
Russia said the actions of the United States, as well as efforts to expand NATO members, were to blame for Moscow’s exit from the agreement.
In May this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree that denounced the treaty, which drew swift condemnation from NATO.

This is some “you can’t quit, I’m firing you” energy.
I’m not sure how you’re getting that. This is like Iran after the US pulled out of the nuclear deal: “Well obviously we’re not going to keep up our end if you’re not going to keep up yours”
It was rhetorical. Are you debating a rhetorical comment? Good luck shadow boxing.
Dumb rhetoric. Dumb follow-up.
